/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I thought this was a shop but it is real kek

I've never looked through this book or played a Halo game, but based on the cover it might as well say, "recipes from Applebee's".

If there's a minecraft cookbook out there it would probably have to be that.

>>17716122
There isn’t even any food in halo what the fuck. I saw a destiny one too, somehow that’s even worse.

>>17716122
I got some more info on the book its small but it came from the authors own mouth.
>343 rushed her hardcore on this book most of her books she wrote took 3-4 months to test recipes and get em just right, this one took 1 month because they wanted it immediately
>She wanted a much better cover for the book showing off the more interesting food in the book. 343 said no and just put the burger and churros on the front because thats what the gamers will most likely want the most. So yes this is the final cover and its awful.
Despite what this board thinks shes a good cook and made good shit and has her own blog. https://pixelatedprovisions.com/recipes/ buttttttt its seems to more then likely be a cash grab. Not by the author but because 343 fucked her over. A job is a job though.

>>17716189
Enjoy.

There's also a Mother/Earthbound cookbook which is pretty much basic stuff. The only one I really want to try that is mysterious is it does have a trout yogurt recipe. Let me see if I can find my copy.

>>17716242

>>17716259
Really does look more like a sauce you'd eat with something else. I could see it being okay. Seems like something that probably exists in northern Europe already.

>>17716122
I haven't played nuhalo, but when was food ever featured anywhere in this series, it's not even something that comes up when you think about halo.
They could have made it about literally any other franchise, i'd buy a fucking genshin impact cookbook, why would anyone make this shit.

>>17716241
So 343 rushed this product to the point of making her look bad.
Yet, she let everything slide instead of pulling the plug, because the money was more important than her reputation as an author.

>>17716287
Shes doing food full time now she quit her job so now its all on food. Shes paid a one time comission to do these as well. I dont know how much but others who have worked for the same publisher have said the same and she has said so as well. How bad it will be isnt known yet, ill go read it at my Barnes when it comes out but it was a shock to hear how they rushed her. It could hurt her but like I understand wanted to keep the lights on. She has other projects in the work as well so more cookbooks are on the way.

>>17716241
Ah, that makes sense. I’m sure with 4 extra months she would’ve realized that burger is inedibly tall and fixed it.

>>17716310
maybe for a jawlet
CHADster CHADief can simply unhinge his jaw and swallow the burger (more of a slider, really) whole

>>17716272
I'm pretty sure I'm the Halo anime, there's a scene where four ODSTs are in a mess hall. Oh, and there's an easter egg in one of the games where a marine says that Grunt meat tastes like chicken.

>>17716364
I guarantee you there are 0 recipes called grunt meat, and also no “military-style” mess type foods. Women are the fucking worst.

>>17716242
But at least Minecraft has actual food in it. I can see how this could get a kid interested in cooking, so it has some value.

>>17716383
They should have legit had recipes for things like pemican and hard tack to simulate military rations.

>>17716387
I don't have any opinions on the Minecraft one. I haven't read it. I just found out it existed after that one anon theorized about it. Draw whatever conclusion you want.

In my very limited experience, these themed cookbooks tend to be focused on relatively simple recipes like that though. Which, is fine. People should learn how to cook, and if it's a video game themed whatever that's fine with me.

>>17716387
>>17716399
Way to put a positive spin on silly themed recipe books. My oldest is aware of Minecraft and likes it, but hasn't played it yet. When she's old enough to use a controller and play with me, she'll be old enough to cook with me too.
That being said, stuff like this Halo recipe book, or pic related, screams 'douchey cashgrab'

Literally who gives a fuck, if your own race's men don't make for a good dating pool, that's not women's problem.

>>17716493
It's about the choice of artwork being presented to impressionable children

>>17716506
those are the minecraft player characters dumbass

>>17716516
How does that change anything? It's still an art choice.

>>17716535

>>17716264
sounds based to me, mother/eb has lots of memorable food and overly dedicated fans. if you put a gun to my head before the halo cookbook appeared on /ck/ I couldn't truly tell you if a single person ate food in the entirety of the canon

>>17716122
Some themed cookbooks can be good, but to be fair LotR is low hanging fruit for a fantasy cookbook desu

>>17716991
>I couldn't truly tell you if a single person ate food in the entirety of the canon
Same here. I was never really into Halo and only played it with my dudebro friends so I'm hardly an authority but I don't remember any motherfucker eating anything.

>>17717007

>>17716991
It's fine. I bought it. The cookbook ended up just actually being sort of boring. I do love Earthbound though, and the book quality is pretty good considering it's a Starman/Fangamer thing.

>>17717007
>>17717011
heh..... nothing personnel, kid

>>17717013
yeah wasn't trying to blog but I've bought a couple books from them in the past including the EB Localization book, always tangibly high quality products. I might buy that cookbook out of curiosity, didn't know of it before. there must be a strawberry tofu entry, right? could you post a picture of it if you're able?

>>17716122
can't find a scan of this or I'd post what's inside

>>17717025
>hobbit slam
you either slam with the hobbits or jam with the elves

>>17716122
According to Downes, these are the official ingredients for Master Chief Chili:
Two pounds of ground beef
One 28-ounce can of tomatoes
Two 8-ounce cans of tomato sauce
One 15-ounce can of kidney beans
One large potato, diced
One large onion, grated
Now that is based

>>17717037
Sure. There's two tarts, the first is probably what you're asking for but I'll post both for the hell of it. Let me know if you can't read it.

>>17717122
Picture of this one.

>>17717052
Lol. Compartmentalization culture of 2022 is a wicked thing.

Other tart.

>>17717136
The photo size limit is difficult.

>>17717136
Pie crust recipe if you want it.

>>17717122
>>17717136
thanks but I was asking about strawberry tofu, one of the few 'unique' things concretely present across all three games
https://wikibound.info/wiki/Strawberry_tofu

>>17717172
Oddly enough, I do not see it. Sorry.

jamieolivercookbook.jpg

>>17717198
all good, I'm just surprised they didn't take a hit at it considering it's in all three games

>>17717227
Reading the wiki page you linked to, it appears in the US version of Earthbound they called the strawberry tofu "trout yogurt". So, that might be why. I don't know though. I double checked, it's not in there.

halo? more like GAYLO

>>17717074
the French being weebs is nothing new, but holy shit isn't cooking sacred over there?

>>17717242
ah I forgot that, yeah, sorry

There are pedophile cookbooks as well.

>>17716420
Food was a pretty big part of the show. You literally never saw anybody eat in Halo.

>>17717052
Imagine an archeologist finding this

>>17716241
>cash grab
Literally life exists to scam your ass. Everything is a scam. Everything wants your money.

>>17717688
No. Lots of times people only want attention and/or validation.

The only food I want to eat out of Halo is the Arbiter's thick ASS. Master Chief is so lucky.

Don't know if it's worse but I feel like it's equally as bad at least. Though Black Panther's chicken and waffles look decent

>>17717052
where does this end?

>>17717052
wait so is this for black trannies or people who went from black to white like Michael Jackson?

>>17716287
The money and any future career, would you be willing to piss of a company owned by Microsoft? She may have also been under a contract

>>17717565
ayo, where da gabagoo at

>>17717052
How can you claim to be normal and like others but have your own special food

>>17716218
The Destiny cookbook TRIES to make the food look all weird and shit. The Halo cookbook is just a normal cook book without much Halo in it at all.

>>17716122
the destiny one is worse

To be fair, the halo setting is just America in space

>>17718240
the original games were set in places like africa.

might be good because of the sheer number of recipes in these games.
76 just makes you want to cook and eat the entire time.

>>17716241
I don't get why they would rush this, how much are they expecting to make from a cookbook?

>>17716287
Yes. It's a game of Dyke vs Dyke. Both sides suck.

>>17718182
>would you be willing to piss of a company owned by Microsoft?
Yes I'd be a woman if I piss Microsoft off I can get money for free 1000 other ways.

>>17716241
The more "interesting" food still has fucking nothing to do with halo. And the cunt is a terrible cook. A foot tall burger is fucking stupid.

>>17716241
>butttttttt
>not knowing the difference between ‘then’ and ‘than’
you are as soy as you are illiterate
your mother gave birth to you THEN cried herself to sleep, rather THAN be happy.
do you see the difference you fucking newfag?

People on this board told me the Elder Scrolls cookbook is amazing. I haven't played the games, but I have downloaded the cookbook and it looks delicious. I still need to get molasses from somewhere and then I'm good to go.

>>17716122
/thread

>>17716264
It’s basically just a less tasty rillette

>>17716977
I thought this one was pretty good for tastelets. It’s less of a cookbook and more of a book on culinary theory, but made for the lowest common denominator. Waste of money for anyone who knows the basics but it’s definitely something I would get for a flyover soccer mom or a young person who can follow simple recipes but can’t yet freestyle

>>17717729
>Black Panther's chicken and waffles
That’s unironically pretty racist

>>17718748
Is that bad?

>Caring about spelling
Fuck off newfag and go back to upvote city.

>>17718843
not them but syntax/grammar is not "spelling". maybe learn english before calling people newfag

>>17718853
I wasnt the guy the with the grammar shit. Im just a guy calling him a dumbass for caring. Final point cringe.

>>17718268
they're expecting to make very little which is why they wanted to just get it out and over with so they canmove on to the next low effort cash grab

>>17718268
These books sell a lot and I guess they wanted one as well. Probably because the game is so shit they wanna distract people.
>>17718288
Nah shes a good cook if you actually decide to know her work. That burger is pretty crazy but its not a basis of what she does regularly.

>>17716657
yikes. Imagine not caring when your race is being genocided. Your brain on leftism

>>17718882
they wanted to rush cause the show is airing, after all the interest for halo will be gone

>>17718881
if you can't use then/than or their/they're/there correctly your a dipshit

>>17716428

When I think of "food" and "Halo" I think of Mountain Dew and Doritos, nothing else.

>>17719084
Cheetos tho?

>>17716460
theyre the fucking designs of steve and the other one
repeat: you are mentally ill

>>17718727
I got that book for my mom because she is the exact target audience but she refuses to read it

>>17717729
>literally completely normal recipes

>>17716122
Something about videogame cookbooks just gives me that internal "capitalism is a scam" feeling

>>17716241
What the fuck is wrong with 343? They have a company as big as microsoft backing them and a franchise as big as HALO as their playground yet they continue to treat people like shit and fuck things up.

>>17719455
Because just like every other fucking company in the US they prioritize short term gains over long term stability. They wanted a cookbook because the Video Game cookbook thing is now taking off and they want one AND THEY WANT IT NOW. Fuck it if its quality we will make that quick money.

>>17719492
>every other fucking company in the US
except lots of companies prioritize long term gains by creating high quality products that get you "hooked" in as a customer. for example Apple, Amazon, McDonalds etc

>>17716241
They had to act fast because the tv show "Halo" is shit and not really Halo

>>17718943
you're*

>>17717052
so that's what they do with the extra meat....

>>17716420

>>17716242
UMmm a cookbook made for CHILDREN....?
Cringe...

>>17719740
>long term gains
It's a very dangerous game to play when you're CEO, the shareholders will have your head if your company isn't making more money this this than last year, and it has to be a significant double digit increase in percentage too, not 4%, your company is fucking finished if that happens.

>>17721315
*making more money this year than last year

All corporate moves make more sense when you realize corporations are slaves to their shareholders and all they want is neverending growth, even when there is no more growth to be had (eg. you have saturated the market, or your product category is mature)

>>17716241
The churros on the cover make it obvious that the churros from the episode 2 of the recent Halo live action series were product placement. I thought their role was odd and forced but I never would guessed this was why. Renders the whole series even more cringey than it is.

I was going to get this, I didn't even know the cookbook thing was a thing until now

>>17716122
kek. is there one for DOOM?
cacodemon burgers
mancubus roast

>>17718282

Nice, it is finally time to accept that a black people can be born with white skin and stop discriminating against transracial folx.

>>17716420
Makes me wonder, is there a cookbook for the NBC Hannibal kek

>>17721817
Nor do I want the Dyke bitch too but im not gonna lie and say she sucks at cooking.

>>17721489
Id get it. Its a good one but it would help if you got asian stores nearby.

>>17718247
Based on the couple pics posted in one of the threads about it, it is all just regular food but with Fallout name instead of something interesting like weird mid-1900s food with futuristic twist or trying to adapt post-nuclear wasteland cooking.

>>17718903
>genocided
can't even speak english kek

>>17722189
who am I kidding, of course there was
they just used a bunch of snapshots from the actual show itself, according to screenshots on the internet

so are all these books written by the same woman?

>>17718247
i'll get that cheesecake before i swap over to outer Worlds, raiders all day baby. gonna have to kill Cito and his cute little family so i can get that cage achievement. got a nuka grenade waiting for him.

Victoria Rosenthal and Chelsea Monroe have written the most books but not all of them. Chelsea needs to hurry the fuck up getting that kitchen remodel done its been like 2 fucking years.

If you want white women to fuck you, try being more appealing than a nigger

>>17718727
agreed, i picked it up for myself when i was 18 or so and didn't know how to cook anything. was a nice way to start learning the 'why's and 'how's instead of blindly following recipes
