This official Minecraft cookbook expands beyond its sixty recipes, giving aspiring young chefs the tools needed to begin a lifelong love of cooking – as well as important lessons on looking after the environment.
Welcome to Minecraft: The Crafter's Kitchen, your starting point for a food journey across the Overworld and our very own planet! Your guide is a Minecraft chef named the Gourmand who sees planet Earth with wonder – as well as concern. Where they come from, apples don't come out of plastic bags. Every ingredient has its own story and has its own place in nature. And everyone composts.
The sixty recipes in Minecraft: The Crafter's Kitchen are ideal for kitchen first-timers and kids learning to cook with their parents. Each chapter features a different biome of the Minecraft world, from the deepest ocean to the highest mountain, spotlighting delicious, easy-to-make recipes as well as environmental issues facing similar areas in our own world, like:
- Ocean: Garlicky Ratatouille Kebabs, Banana Dulce de Leche Batido, and cleaning up at the beach.
- Forest: Applesauce Snacking Cake, Chicken Cacciatore, and starting your own garden.
- Taiga: Cardamom Bear Paws, Swedish Meatballs, and supporting nature reserves.
Through the magic of Minecraft – and cooking – kids can expand and explore their understanding of the food they eat and the world they will grow up to inherit and protect.
