Stardew Valley Cookbook Achievement Pictures

And. Here. We. Go!

A charcuterie of recipes that were presented as meant to be cooked all at once in the book:

1. Autumn's Bounty: Smoky sweet potato and pumpkin dip with a little garlic and tahini, a pumpkin/yam hummus of sorts, garnished with pomegranate seeds
2. Vegetable Medley: Cherry tomatoes and Castelvetrano olives in white wine, with sweet and sour roasted golden beets
3. Red Plate: Roasted red cabbage drizzled with a miso cheese sauce, garnished with nori (seaweed) and a side of radishes and honey-miso butter.

Plus some crackers, carrots, and cheese-its for accompaniment.

This was the most challenging recipe my mom and I made yet. My back is sore and we had a lot of micromanagement to do, but it came out so well. There has yet to be a recipe in the book we don't like yet. Everything has been amazing so far.

Like what you see?

Pumpkin Soup. Now my new favorite kind of soup.

Kabocha squash, onions, garlic, fresh ginger root, sour cream and milk drizzle, and my favorite part: Pecorino Frico crisps (Romano cheese and pumpkin seeds).

This took an astonishingly long time to make, but the ingredients were remarkably cheap.

Went back a couple of seasons and made Ginger Ale, with some gluten-free oreos and ginger cookies to go with it.

Today was a shock because normally, I keep my online life and IRL life segregated out of shyness and my own lack of trust in my family to not accidentally dox me, but today, while my mom was searching for other attempts by people to make these recipes, she found this thread and I had to explain myself to her. Hopefully, she respects my privacy going forward. I'm still anxious as heck on a personal level, but that may be my disorder kicking in.

Ha wow that's a helluva thing if you're doxed by your own mother. I hope she respects your privacy, but worst case scenario the mods are here to help you, bless her heart.

Btw, them cookies look absolutely munchable. How did they turn out and which recipes are we looking at?

The cookies are just bought from some local sources. My mom is strictly gluten-free, so in addition to being very specific on certain sweets for herself and whoever else enjoys them, she also tends to balk at the recipes that call for flour.

She also doesn't really like seafood, so that limits what we can cook even further.

So the ginger ale is the star then?

So the ginger ale is the star then?

Yep.

The book is divided by seasons and there's 1 drink at the end of every season. Ginger Ale is at the end of the Spring section. We would have made the Cranberry Candy drink, but there aren't any cranberries in store yet.

YO THE BOOK TEACHES HOW TO MAKE GINGER ALE!?

It does.

The other drinks are Pina Colada, Cranberry Candy, and Triple Shot Espresso.

Survival Burger: patties are made of eggplant, cannellini beans, shallots, garlic, and wild rice, topped with roasted red peppers, pickled carrot ribbons, and a special homemade burger sauce like the kind McDonald's puts on their Big Macs: ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, and shallots.
Blackberry Cobbler: similar to traditional cobbler except it is most uniquely topped with raw turbinado sugar

This time, my dad got in on the action and we made the dishes at his house. His kitchen is much smaller and messier, so he had to do most of the physical work and I had to read the instructions to keep my cookbook clean. He also accidentally burnt some plastic tupperwares while trying to boil some water for tea. (He is the best example of a messy, clumsy, and cluttered redneck you will ever meet in my family)

All in all, a pleasant experience.

I think every recipe that starts with fresh pumpkin takes a long time to make! ^_^ Thanks for sharing some recipe experiences. Everything looks good!

I'm pretty sure Calabaza and Kabocha are the same pumpkin (I've also heard it called West Indian Pumpkin), if not, they're similar enough that I can definitely use the Calabaza from my garden in this! I love butternut squash soup, so this'll probably be a good one for me to try.

How was the texture of the survival burgers? I'm interested to try them, but I don't like a lot of the new 'meatlike' veggie burgers. They just don't have much texture to them. I prefer the kind with bits of veggies and grains still in there.

How do you carbonate the ginger ale? Does it require a lot of counter space?

That looks absolutely amazing, you did justice to the recipes, they look wonderfully delicious
