How do you get gamers who are too intent on playing their favourite titles to concentrate on cooking good food? It's simple - grab them a copy of the PAC-MAN cookbook and get them to make, and I'm angry I didn't come up with this joke, 'a-MAZE-ing recipes that are both fun and nutritious. The new book is an official cookbook inspired by one of the most famous arcade characters of all time and comes with a variety of recipes for cooks of all ages and abilities.

There are over 60 dishes to choose from including Inky's Wings, PAC-MAN Mac & Cheese, On-A-Hot Streak Dogs, and the PAC-MAN Pepperoni Pizza (as an Italian, I refuse to call it a 'pie'). The steps are easy to follow and are accompanied by mouth-wateringly realistic images that might make you chomp through the book itself.

It also has some history in it too - as well as recipes, you can discover the games that have had the biggest impact in the PAC-MAN series over the years and follow his dot-munching journey from the arcade halls of the 80s to our phones in 2025.

Head to Amazon to grab a copy for your shelf of the PAC-MAN fan in your life!
