Description

Prepare to have your mind flayed with sixty recipes from the denizens of Hawkins in this first official cookbook for the hugely popular Netflix series.

Celebrate the culinary cravings of your favorite Stranger Things characters with Stranger Things: The Official Cookbook, featuring sixty recipes from all facets of this beloved world, whether it’s ’80s mall food, a weeknight dinner at the Wheelers, or the best Dungeons & Dragons snack.

Each recipe belongs to someone in Hawkins and comes with a recipe card, postcard, diary entry, or other in-world artifact. Make Barb’s Baked Ziti, Steve Harrington’s No Fail Crepes Suzette, or the scary good Demigorgonzola Cheese Balls. Experiment with Erica Sinclair’s science project that yields Doubly Delicious Maple Pancakes or bake Eddie Munson’s favorite Hellfire Club Devil’s Food Cake. Learn the dining rules for Castle Byers (annotated by hungry D&D players) and the secret to Hopper’s perfect tuna melt (with mustard, dammit, and potato chips).

Packed with mouthwatering photos that bring the ’80s roaring back, this cookbook offers up a big slice of Hawkins for Stranger Things fans with an appetite.
