The Ultimate Final Fantasy 14 Cookbook Vol. 1[1] was released several years ago, giving fans of Hydaelyn a chance to bring its best virtual dishes to their real-life dining table. With recipes for all skill levels and meals that run the gamut from snacks to desserts, it simplified the process of preparing Final Fantasy 14’s best delicacies. This year, you’ll get to dive into The Ultimate Final Fantasy 14 Cookbook Vol. 2[2], which is up for preorder ahead of its October 21 release. Much like the first volume, this one includes nearly 200 pages of recipes–only it now focuses on dishes found in the Shadowbringers and Endwalker expansions.
$32.54 (was $35) | Releases October 21[3]
Written by Victoria Rosenthal, the author and chef responsible for Volume 1, we’re expecting Volume 2 to once again be packed with creative meals. You’ll find more than 70 recipes within its pages, including Alligator Salad, Knight’s Bread Reprise, Tandoori Raptor, and even fun drinks like Carrot Coffee and Hyper-Potion.
Recipes are joined by images of the final product, plus detailed instructions highlighting exactly how to bring the meal to life. It also includes the difficulty of the recipe–ensuring newbie chefs don’t bite off more than they can chew.
Beyond recipes and mouthwatering images, The Ultimate Final Fantasy Cookbook Vol 2. Includes an exclusive foreword by game director Naoki Yoshida. Combined with its premium hardcover design and colorful artwork, it should be a lovely addition to most kitchens.
$50 | Releases December 9[4]
If you don’t mind waiting a bit longer, a fun Gift Set featuring the cookbook arrives on December 9. Along with the hardcover volume, it includes a metal stand featuring Mogria and Gyohan. That should make it easier to read through the book’s recipes while cooking–and it’ll lift it off your countertops, ensuring it doesn’t get messy with food.
