Overwatch: The Official Cookbook

Product Information

Cook up more than ninety recipes inspired by the heroes of Blizzard Entertainment’s hit game with Overwatch: The Official Cookbook. Yep. I read a cookbook. Cover to cover. Repeatedly. No I do not cook. Also, I do not play Overwatch, nor do I have any intention to start playing Overwatch. Her place of origin in Switzerland brings out sweet and savoury flavours from a Bircher Muesli oatmeal.

According to the cookbook, the serene Omnic doesn’t eat. But it didn’t stop him from giving happiness to others through food. Support players choosing Zenyatta might love fun-sized pastries, as his recipes focus on delivering foods made to smile. If you’re connected to Reinhardt as a main, hearty family meals might be your fuel for long matches. Deep, juicy flavours from meats or browned veggies give you a much-deserved reward from sessions and take your mind off the objectives for brief moments. When you’re feeling full, a solace from bitter cheese can keep you appetized for a few more bites when the match counts down. Of course, there’s always room for some dessert later too. Zarya (Sour, tangy, umami, fragrant) Zarya – Overwatch We’ve had a few teasers and a few glimpses at what to expect, but for now all we have is the original Overwatch. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Many of us are still chugging away, mastering each of Overwatch’s 32 playable characters. And many of us are still invested in the game’s ever-growing lore as well. Doomfist’s Punch Drunk Punch is a delightful, fruity concoction made up of fresh fruit, orange and lemon-lime sodas, bitters, and grenadine for color. If you want to really get a punch out of it you can optionally add gin or tequila.

Those cookbooks are made by people, sometimes even people in cooking franchises, but still just people with tastes and mindsets that have automatic biases. So uneven weights happen. Whether it's Italy getting a couple extra, or China, or France, there's always a slight slant. Sometimes that slant is even found in nothing but how the 'other country' dishes are all seasoned slightly wrong (like a slant Italian cookbook way underdoing it with the cayenne or turmeric in a dish from Marrakech). Umami describes a savoury and “meaty” taste the former Crusader continues to feel long after eating foods like the cheesy Kasespatzle. Before learning the pelmeni (russian dumplings) recipe in this cook, I had never made any kind of dumplings before. Now, I’m eager to try making pirogi. Monroe-Cassel is hands-down my favorite cook, and after the WoW and Hearthstone cookbook I had a dream of getting an Overwatch one from her. And here it is! The quality is the usual: she just pours her heart and soul into the lore and food research and it shows how much care this book was made with. This particular mollete recipe calls for chorizo. Most major supermarkets carry the brand Cacique and it comes in pork, beef, and soy varieties. In my experience, this chorizo is not very flavorful so I definitely recommend adding spices to jazz it up. To make the meat for the dish go further, one tube is barely enough for two molletes, so I mixed the chorizo with ground turkey.

Somit ergibt das Ganze eine bunte Mischung aus mehr oder weniger abgefahrenen Gerichten aus aller Welt, die als »Hausmannskost«, »Feierlichkeit«, »Gut vorzubereiten« oder »Getränk« kategorisiert werden – und es gibt auch noch »Keine«, die ein Rezept für Wildvogelfutter enthält. Ana prepares a sweet milk mixture for Umm Ali, a traditional Egyptian dessert she loved to make for her daughter Pharah. Passed on from Ana’s own mother and reserved for celebrations, baking it reminds her of lost family time since a fateful duel with Widowmaker. Die Gerichte sind entsprechend der Kontinente aufgeteilt, aus denen die einzelnen Spielhelden stammen, ergänzt um den Mond, schließlich befinden wir uns in der Zukunft, in der auch der Erdtrabant kolonisiert wurde. These are some of the foods which deepen the personalities behind Overwatch’s battle-hardened characters. It’s hardly the first video-game inspired cookbook of its kind but where fare like Fallout: The Vault Dweller’s Cookbook or Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook draw on source material that’s both rich and sprawling, O:TOC has to do more with less.A simple Japanese Tamago Kake Gohan dish combines the essentials of rice, eggs and acid for a well-balanced breakfast. It’s also where Hanzo shows a palate for sharp acids from soy sauce and mirin splashed on the dish. A Furikake Seasoning adds sesame and dried fish for extra sweetness. Each bite also comes with raw egg to tone the dish’s powerful flavours down and provide (extra) protein. The book’s 98 recipes feature easy-to-find ingredients which also change according to the hero’s place of origin. Cook up more than 100 recipes inspired by the heroes of Blizzard Entertainment's hit game with Overwatch: The Official Cookbook. The sections for Bastion, which includes such gems as ‘Bird Shaped Pretzels’ and ‘Treats for Wild Birds’, is a particularly bad offender for this — as is the final section of the cookbook, which compiles recipes for the two heroes who originate from a moon-based scientific research colony.
