Welcome to The Crafter’s Kitchen, an official Minecraft cookbook and 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 the 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 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 Kabobs, 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 wildlife refuges
Through the magic of this Minecraft cookbook—and cuisine—kids can expand and explore their understanding of the food they eat and the world they will grow up to inherit and protect.

Gr 2-6-Based on the enduringly popular video game Minecraft, this is a cookbook with a bit of a different format. Chapters are based on various Minecraft biomes (regions), such as rivers, jungles, and mountains and roughly translate into appetizers, sides, mains, drinks, and desserts. There is a heavy environmental emphasis throughout: chapters begin with a few pages about different regions on Earth and the ecological threats that loom over them. Readers are encouraged to be stewards of the planet and are offered concrete suggestions to further that goal. As the book points out, here on Earth we can't generate a new world the way that one can in the Minecraft universe. The recipes are generally healthy and made with easy-to-find ingredients that won't break the bank. Directions are simple and easy to understand, with short sidebars supplying further information about the ingredients and techniques. Full-page color photos are interspersed with scenes from the game, and a character introduced as "the Gourmand" serves as a guide. Fans, eternally in search of more, will enjoy this offering. VERDICT Recommended for school and public libraries with a persistent Minecraft following.-Kate Newcombe
