The Elder Scrolls (I Used to Order Out until I Took This Cookbook to My Knee)
Assign that left trigger to making fire and the right one to using your knife because we have some recipes here sure to impress even a Dragonborn. This grimoire offers more than just that though! It explores Tamriel lore in areas such as the culture of its fantasy races and a map of its world. The style of the pages is even stylized after the gameplay, showing the difficulty level of the concoctions. Pretty much the only thing this cookbook doesn’t do is make the food for you. After all, it is not sworn to carry your burdens.

Ya know, I’m suddenly wondering if such a thing exists as edible cookbooks. Tch, yeah, imagine cookbooks that required a cookbook to make. They don’t have to be anything fancy; maybe even just a candy or something that has some recipe inscribed on one side. Let me just google this and- The search results are about- cannabis. Cannabis. Huh. Welp, I guess I’m giving up on this idea for now, but hey, at least I got to go out on a high note!
