"We decided that just going with brahmin was too easy, so we decided to substitute for deathclaw instead. When we sent someone to get the death claw meat, they never came back. We can only assume it's because it tasted so good they didn't want to share."
No, not opium. You’d be far better suited with a metabolic steroid, stimulant, or painkiller medication (IE Xanax, Oxycodone, etc…). Buffout in the game pretty much indicates some form of performance enhancer, so it just seems that opium wouldn’t give very much of a performance gain as the types listed above.
i really like that its actually supposed to be an in-universe cookbook rather than just a "here are some dishes that are vaguely themed around the game kind of"
I like to believe that this is cannon, and that some establishments actually use recipes from the book, maybe some restaurant or bakery down in California, or maybe one of the restaurants on the strip, maybe some of them might be used by the Ultraluxe's Gourmon!

My boyfriend and I have the book to and are huge Fallout fans we love the dishes and drinks especially the Deathclaw steak also we used green food coloring for the Buffout cookies cause our first batch came out the same way as yours so we tried food coloring and it worked. The dishes make for an amazing dinner after a long day at work or any other day if any of you haven't gotten this book then you should especially if your a fan of the Fallout series and you will love the dishes to I promise.
So far we’ve done the mole rat dip, the nuka cola, the stimpack, Yao guai ribs. It was delicious, and pretty simple/easy to follow. Definitely recommend!
I like how they say it was written Pre-War by Vault-Tec since if it wasn't it wouldn't make sense for them to use things like Pork or Chicken if it was written Post-War as those things don't exist and have been replaced by things like Geckos, Ants, Radroaches, etc.
My sister got me this for xmas last year. Glad it's actually pretty decent, iv yet to try any of the dishes but that deathclaw one looks like a good starter :D
@Matsuyama Limaverde Did a quick google search.... "It is sometimes pronounced /ˈɛksməs/, but Xmas, and variants such as Xtemass, originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation /ˈkrɪsməs/. The "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Christós (Greek: Χριστός), which became Christ in English."
@Matsuyama Limaverde Xmas is used as a slang in Britain and America, not sure about other parts of the world but it’s been used as slang for Christmas for at least 30-40 years. Not 100% sure though.
Coming from an experienced wasteland chef, deathclaw might not be the best choice because it’s a lizard. Very tough and gamely flavor. Also dangerous. Mole rat is delicious once you get past the fact you’re rating a giant hairless rodent, but you haven’t lived until you’ve eaten a Brahmin burger. Imagine a real cow but juicer and tastier meat. Pair it with some tato, some cheese, and some sauce and you’re talking. I’ve never been big into seafood so I can’t speak for the mirelurks and the anglers but I’ve heard angler is very fishy and that mirelurks are better than any normal crab. Eating a cat is something I’ll never forget, not because I’m scarred by the experience, but it was a strange situation nonetheless. Radstag meat is fine but forgettable, just like my normal deer. Yao Guai meat is inedible. Don’t eat bugs. They’re hell on your digestive system. I’ve never had iguana bits. Everything else just tastes like it’s normal world counterparts. Pork and beans is bean with bacon, cram is spam, you get the idea. Pair it with a nice Nuka cola or an Enclave purified water and you can thrive in the wasteland.
I've never seen a chanel so underrated as this one, hope YT picks up more of your videos for the algorithm do more people can enjoy this high quality videos
I made these Buffout Cookies ones and the confusing thing is the recipe says they are going to get hard in the oven. They dont. They are at least like 75% butter. They just melt. If I would ever make them again, i would just wait until shortly befor they get brown to take them out
@@pmc8451 Thats a great suggestion and will probably make this a lot easier (Im not really good at baking and have barely any experience lol). Still, I dont think it the cookies would get hard because of the ungodly portion of butter
The Bethesda cook books are actually quite excellent. They're fun merch to read, but surprise, the recipes are actually written by a real cook! Lots of interesting stuff in there. My favorites are the drinks and treats. The Skyrim cookbook is also really good.
Theyre really cool pieces of gaming memorabilia which is actually also useful! I haven't got the fallout one because fallout recipes scare the crap out of me haha
@@nachos1162 i dont blame you iguana on a stick doesnt sound like something id wanna eat the skyrim stuff though looks tasty id definitely make the sweet rolls
@@spunk3787 yeah but i think its because the person who made them was trying to work with well what people would be working with in the elderscrolls universe.
The braised deathclaw steak looks great it's like a rendition of Japanese, Pork belly Kakuni or Chinese, hong shao rou, As for the cookies made something similar in the past, I think if you want to achieve the colour gotta add some food colouring.
I’ve made a few things from this cookbook and they have all been tasty, but usually seem needlessly complicated and expensive. I think my favorite so far has been the nuka-cola and I can’t wait to try more of the recipes (they are best tackled one at a time for me). Honestly, even if the recipes were bad I’d probably keep the book for the handwritten notes, which are hilarious, but in my experience the recipes are great! Just wish they were slightly simpler (although that’s definitely not the vault-etc way lol)! I also wish there were more vegetarian recipes (although that’s not the Wasteland way 🤪). Great review!
Yeah, especially in the sense of a Wasteland Survival scenario, some of the stuff seems like stuff you'd see inside the White Gloves Casino instead of something Cook-Cook well... cooked.
The algorithm has done me well. high quality content, subbed! I've seen this cookbook around and always dismissed it as one of those soulless branded cookbooks that just tack character's names onto standard recipes. Glad to see it's better than the Nuka Dark Rum lol
I saw this video in my recommended feed, and after watching it, I went straight to Amazon and bought the cookbook. I can't wait to see what other outlandish and delicious recipes Victoria Rosenthal has between the covers...
Her cookbooks are awesome! I just recently reviewed her Final Fantasy IV cookbook is also very good and I just recently reviewed her Destiny cookbook if you wanna check that out
@@N3K0014 I'm actually not joking when I say this, the one time I tried it, it tasted a lot like chicken with a little different aftertaste and more tender.
I think your issue with the cookies is that they were over baked. Since cookies continue baking out of the oven it's a good idea to undertake them by a minute or two when following recipes
I actually bought this cookbook and tried it out because of your video. I quite like the recipes thus far (a favorite is the mirelurk queen steak). Thank you for posting quality content.
Highly underrated Channel. Cooking snd games. What could be better? As an aspiring chef and video game lover, i really enjoy your content. Earned my sub
Ive made the missippie quantum pie from that cookbook, its really good, although it turns out that a lot of people get put off by seeing blue when they eat something, even after being told its literally just blue food colouring they seem to think it changes it somehow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@bluesonicstreak7317 Theres mould blue, then theres the Neon blue my cake was, and I mean, they'll happily eat cake with iscing that all manor of colours, but mine crossed a line somehow, lol
So far, everything I've tried from the cookbook has been fantastic. I especially love the sauce for the spiced crab legs / mirelurk meat. That stuff works fantastically on so many foods, it's nuts. I need to make a huge batch of that sauce.
The last time Black Isle did any take on Fallout, they fail really hard, you literally need to eat a copium and hate pill to play it and even then, you still can’t even lie to yourself about it
Awesome video man, I suck at cooking and it’s therapeutic to see you making stuff that looks gourmet to be quite frank. Maybe one day I’ll get experimental and get one of these fun cook books.
Great video! The cookies just look a little over cooked. Try a convection setting if you have it on your oven and use a cooling rack to put the cookies on right after you bake them (the hot cookie sheet will continue to cook the bottom.) You could always use food coloring to get a more vibrant green.
I have made the crab cakes in this book several times, once with actual crab and twice with jackfruit to make a vegan alternative. I have also done the duck power noodles both with meat and vegan as well. Both are good recipes.
I've made the Buffout cookies before! It's basically green tea flavored shortbread IIRC, and you may have just had your matcha clump up when mixing the dough. I really wanna get the cookbook now though to try the rest of the recipes (that Deathclaw one looked AMAZING).
I have to get the Bethesda's cookbooks for myself one day. I'm planning to work as a chef in the future so trying these recipes out would help me a lot and be lots of fun to do
Dunno if anyone's answered your question or not on 'how to keep the cookies green' but one trick is to freeze them for 20ish minutes before cooking. It means they still cook but don't brown as quickly, which is one way of keeping the colours real bright. Hope this helps!
The Mac and cheese and sugar bombed carrots are pretty great actually. The drinks are pretty alright too, but I haven’t tried the rest. Buffout matcha cookies are also pretty great
I've got this cookbook as well, made the Mole Rat Manicotti and it was absolutely amazing. Definitely worth a try. As for the Buffout, it might have been a combination of the placement in the oven, and how long you had them in the oven. I had to keep a very close eye on them during baking so I didn't lose the green color.
3:35 I WAS WAITING FOR THAT SOY SAUCE! My wife is Filipina, he's cooking adobo. I fell in love with adobo pretty much immediately. Soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves, sugar, SPECIFICALLY pork belly is the best! You can make adobo of different meats, but I find pork belly to be the best and so does my wife. Specifically that's, if I'm not mistaken, Tagalog style adobo. Cebuano style adobo (where my wife is from, Cebu, in Visaya or Vasaya) is a bit different and involves deep frying but I digress. She's done a GREAT job at improving her Cebuano style adobo, but I still prefer this Tagalog style. HIGHLY recommend this recipe, she also uses oyster sauce which might be that 'Hoisin' stuff. The difference is, we don't use ginger (though I imagine that might be common in the Philippines), star anise (we ain't that fancy), lemongrass, cardamoms (I don't even know what that is, maybe my wife does), cinnamon, cayenne (good idea though, my wife and I like some spice, perhaps next time we make adobo we'll toss in a bit of cayenne), or peppercorn (though we do typically sprinkle in some black pepper). Bay leaves are always used, as is garlic. Did he include chopped onion? Can't remember, but we always chop up onion and cook it with the meat, which we let cook in the broth itself rather than boiling it beforehand. As the meat cooks, the broth thickens, and I find it DELICIOUS on rice. Look, I'm a simple White man, eating plain white rice ain't happenin'. My wife can have the stuff for breakfast, and I mean PLAIN, not a drop of soy sauce or anything. Makes no sense to me. I need something on it or in it if I'm gonna eat rice. That tagalog adobo sauce... delicious. Makes rice seem like actual food, which I joke to my wife that rice isn't even actual food. Somehow she isn't a fan of pizza or burgers... yeah I don't understand it either. Anyhow, HIGHLY suggest people try out adobo. I never really thought about the Philippines, and never tried Filipino food, until I met my wife. Been trying more and more of their cuisine, almost married for a year now, and I must say I tend to very much enjoy their food. Asian cuisine tends to be dominated by Chinese and Japanese cuisine with a sprinkling of Korean, that's been my experience. If you catch this UA-cam comment, highly suggest checking for a local Filipino restaurant or to try making this Deathclaw meal. Make no mistake, its foundation is Filipino adobo, and it fucking rocks. Cheers and God bless! Edit: Wait, BAKE IT?! This is so over-complicated... it's boiled in the pan. Simple as. Don't boil the meat beforehand and don't bake it. Just cook the raw meat in the pan with the broth. Edit2: Oh yeah, almost forgot, my wife tends to prefer pork bouillon rather than chicken. If pork isn't available, then beef bouillon, but chicken seems like a fine substitute though really you could just use salt instead just like we use black pepper instead of those whole peppercorn things which I find to just be a pain. I call them 'pepperbombs' because if you accidentally bite into one, boom, taste of pepper just ends up dominating your mouth. Overly fancy, overly complicated, ground black pepper is better.
the braised deathclaw steak was somewhat similar when cooking adobo (a dish here in the philippines). The difference were use of spices like lemon grass, cinnamon, cayenne, and cardamon. Also we used the broth from the pork itself not chicken broth
I agree it reminded me of that too but the spices gave it a different flavor profile compared to the ones my mom makes. I love traditional pork adobo though and I usually add extra lime (calamansi if available) or datu puti spicy vinegar
(oh hey MisoHungrie if you really reading this, make the buffout a bit bigger and don't make it super flat because it can cook faster and be brown. I use a normal cookie scoop and lightly flatten it and follow instructions and the cookies came out green) This is my opinion of the cookbook please don't be rude as I explain my opinion. This cookbook is fantastic not only I love fallout but this book is so much fun to read especially the scribble text and "replacements" of meats and vegetables. It even mention some stuff not only in the game but it tells you the stats on what can bring up your special. The food on some of the recipes are pretty good. The instamash is amazing since it's mashpotatoes but a hint of fresh Rosemary and blue cheese and the radstag curry udon is really good. Some recipes even MisoHungrie said is a miss like the buffout recipes, you get a tiny hint of Matcha and a hint of allspice. While the blamco Mac and cheese is a bit watery even by looking at the recipe picture it looks watery. Theirs nothing more for me to say about this cookbook, to me it's one of a kind and a excellent cookbook plus a fun one to cook and to read I give it 9/10
I gotta say I made the fancy lad snack cakes and they were really difficult to make but were pretty tasty, maybe a bit too sweet. The mississippi quantum pie is literally a go to whenever i need to make a pie... its even richer than just a chocolate bar and tastes so good and is really filling so great for a big party, i have never made the whipped cream that goes on top but in my opinion its not needed.
Someone should open a fallout themed restaurant that serves food like this as well as having it play radio songs from all the games in the background. That would be really cool.
Please do more from this book. I have the book but the recipes are pretty expensive to make. They have all these whacky spices and use other pretty expensive ingredients so i haven't tried to make anything yet.
I haven’t made many of the recipes in the cookbook because most of them are seafood, which I don’t like, but what I have made has been pretty great. I especially recommend the Mole Rat Manicotti and the Fancy Lads Snack Cakes.
Ah, I see you're a dessert buffout enjoyer I'm more of a Party Time Mentats Man myself. But to each their own, I say ! Or... I think that's what I said, do I love Custard or Mustard again ? I think, I forgot
TBH i wish they made the Mr.House ending Cannon and had Fallout 4 have some sort of idea that NV is preparing to go to space. Then Starfield is some future built off of that
The cook book gets pretty close to the fallout feel but just to give it that extra zest I usually stick a nuclear isotope next to the dish for 2 to 3 hundred years
While the recipes look great, I really hoped more of them would be taken from the game since the Fallout world has so many canon dishes, and not just a bunch of real world dishes with Fallout references thrown on. While I appreciate the recipes that are of foods in the game like Blamco mac and cheese, as well as spins on in game foods like the Nuka Cola BBQ sauce or Tato soup, things like the vegetarian meatloaf being crossed out and replaced with baked bloatfly just felt a bit disappointing. I was also confused by the prevalence of Asian dishes that are kind of jarring when paired with the 50s Americana aesthetic of the Fallout universe. Though overall it's still a fun book to have part of my collection!
All very good points. I do feel like a handful of the dishes just had the Fallout theme tacked on without a rhyme or reason. Maybe somewhere down the line there's gonna be another Fallout cookbook that will be more thematic.
Most important thing for me: The Nuka-Cola syrup is best (personally) mixed into another soda, not tonic/soda water. My favourite mix is the syrup (a couple tablespoons) into some Diet Dr. Thunder. I couldn't get the Mississippi Pie to firm up, I just had liquid. Made good ice cream topping, though. Do you think it could be an altitude issue? I live around 7000 feet. I've also tried the Gecko Kebabs and Cornbread Muffins. Absolutely could (and did) demolish a whole recipe of those in one sitting (multiple times). The Buffout is also good, but once it gets a day or so old, it gets very crumbly (friends have said they're good tea cookies, which is amusing since they're matcha.) My Buffout comes out mostly green like theirs (I suspect theirs is underdone, as mine gets a little brown/tan on the bottom. Additionally, I think I mix my ingredients in a different way... not sure if that would really affect anything, though.) Disclaimer: I don't like tea, but I love the matcha cookies, so if that's anyone else's hang-up, you might actually be okay. :)
If not altitude, I definitely think room/fridge temp can be an issue. I just made Jello for the Pokemon cookbook I uploaded and mine didn't firm up either. Sometimes you just get unlucky. One day I'll try those Cola, kebabs, and cornbread muffin recipes that you mentioned.
There's a bit of a joke that goes "no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans," and after reading these comments I think that can be applied to Fallout as well.
And here I thought every recipe would just be "Kill beast and cook on open flames until deemed edible". This actually looks awesome

Eating a cat is something I’ll never forget, not because I’m scarred by the experience, but it was a strange situation nonetheless. Radstag meat is fine but forgettable, just like my normal deer. Yao Guai meat is inedible. Don’t eat bugs. They’re hell on your digestive system. I’ve never had iguana bits. Everything else just tastes like it’s normal world counterparts. Pork and beans is bean with bacon, cram is spam, you get the idea. Pair it with a nice Nuka cola or an Enclave purified water and you can thrive in the wasteland.
Love it!
Ill keep it real with u homie, if your not a vault dweller, that FEV water is gonna kill you
cause Iguana bits in Fallout 1 were... *drumroll* body parts. remembered that bit from one of Oxhorn's viddys
Shouldn't you be eating more pre-war adjacent food if you're part of the Enclave
@@Vessick I don’t know I wrote this a year ago. I think you’re thinking too much into it lol.
I've never seen a chanel so underrated as this one, hope YT picks up more of your videos for the algorithm do more people can enjoy this high quality videos
i clicked the video and he spoke and the most nostalgia hit me of mitten squad one of the best fallout youtubers
I made these Buffout Cookies ones and the confusing thing is the recipe says they are going to get hard in the oven. They dont. They are at least like 75% butter. They just melt. If I would ever make them again, i would just wait until shortly befor they get brown to take them out
You need to chill your dough before shaping and then chill the biscuits again before putting in the oven.
@@pmc8451 Thats a great suggestion and will probably make this a lot easier (Im not really good at baking and have barely any experience lol). Still, I dont think it the cookies would get hard because of the ungodly portion of butter
This deserves so much more views!
hats off to you, sharing this around! looks really good
Based king
The Bethesda cook books are actually quite excellent. They're fun merch to read, but surprise, the recipes are actually written by a real cook! Lots of interesting stuff in there. My favorites are the drinks and treats. The Skyrim cookbook is also really good.
Yeah id love to have one of those skyrim cook books
Theyre really cool pieces of gaming memorabilia which is actually also useful! I haven't got the fallout one because fallout recipes scare the crap out of me haha
@@nachos1162 i dont blame you iguana on a stick doesnt sound like something id wanna eat the skyrim stuff though looks tasty id definitely make the sweet rolls
@@jacobweatherford4696 I've made the sweet rolls, they're decent but there's better versions online
@@spunk3787 yeah but i think its because the person who made them was trying to work with well what people would be working with in the elderscrolls universe.
The braised deathclaw steak looks great it's like a rendition of Japanese, Pork belly Kakuni or Chinese, hong shao rou, As for the cookies made something similar in the past, I think if you want to achieve the colour gotta add some food colouring.
I’ve made a few things from this cookbook and they have all been tasty, but usually seem needlessly complicated and expensive. I think my favorite so far has been the nuka-cola and I can’t wait to try more of the recipes (they are best tackled one at a time for me). Honestly, even if the recipes were bad I’d probably keep the book for the handwritten notes, which are hilarious, but in my experience the recipes are great! Just wish they were slightly simpler (although that’s definitely not the vault-etc way lol)! I also wish there were more vegetarian recipes (although that’s not the Wasteland way 🤪). Great review!
I concur regarding the desire for simplicity. I'm no cooking enthusiast, and I certainly found almost every recipe to seem very intimidating.
@@Yoshikarter1 I don’t even have the book and the amount of ingredients in the braised deathclaw steak caused me anxiety
Yeah I’ve seen a few of the recipes and I don’t care to try them because of the number of ingredients/steps. I like to cook simple food.
Yeah, especially in the sense of a Wasteland Survival scenario, some of the stuff seems like stuff you'd see inside the White Gloves Casino instead of something Cook-Cook well... cooked.
The scribbled text is such a great idea, helps you find real-life alternative without being immersion breaking
I love it also! Fits the theme perfectly
The algorithm has done me well. high quality content, subbed! I've seen this cookbook around and always dismissed it as one of those soulless branded cookbooks that just tack character's names onto standard recipes. Glad to see it's better than the Nuka Dark Rum lol
Thanks for the sub! Yeah, this is definitely one of the better cookbooks I've ever bought. Really good stuff in it
I saw this video in my recommended feed, and after watching it, I went straight to Amazon and bought the cookbook. I can't wait to see what other outlandish and delicious recipes Victoria Rosenthal has between the covers...
Her cookbooks are awesome! I just recently reviewed her Final Fantasy IV cookbook is also very good and I just recently reviewed her Destiny cookbook if you wanna check that out
Nice video mate! I hope you'll do more videos with this book.
Definitely will. Thanks!
Cooking time lapses are so relaxing and also make me very hungry
The vault dwellers forgot to write it but they added Psycho and Jet to the buffout cookies to intensify the green color of the matcha.
@Moll pom well, yeah, the additional notes in the book were written post war
@Moll pom Bethesda changed that with Fallout 4. Apparently the recipe was just changed postwar to make it more potent. Stupid ass retcons.
I got this for Christmas and the recipes are cool but my favorite part is the post war changes and little journal entries in it.
Same! A lot of them are pretty hilarious
I need more of this man
It makes me sad that Deathclaw meat wasn't crocodile. That would have been both a good fit and delicious.
True, but how many grocery stores sell croc/gator meat?
crocodile meat is not available in most places
What does crocodile meat taste like?
@@N3K0014 I'm actually not joking when I say this, the one time I tried it, it tasted a lot like chicken with a little different aftertaste and more tender.
@@N3K0014 To me, crocodile meat tastes close to white fish. The texture was different from fish though.
I think your issue with the cookies is that they were over baked. Since cookies continue baking out of the oven it's a good idea to undertake them by a minute or two when following recipes
Yeah you're right. I think I put them in way too long
I actually bought this cookbook and tried it out because of your video. I quite like the recipes thus far (a favorite is the mirelurk queen steak). Thank you for posting quality content.
Nice, I'm glad you like it! I've yet to try the mirelurk queen steak but I'll give it a go one of these days. Thanks for watching!
Highly underrated Channel. Cooking snd games. What could be better? As an aspiring chef and video game lover, i really enjoy your content.
Earned my sub
Using that dip as a croissant sandwich filling was a good call! Now I really want to try it…
Ive made the missippie quantum pie from that cookbook, its really good, although it turns out that a lot of people get put off by seeing blue when they eat something, even after being told its literally just blue food colouring they seem to think it changes it somehow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We're just meant to be instinctively repulsed by blue food because of the dangers of mold, not really their fault. Sounds like fun, though.
@@bluesonicstreak7317 Theres mould blue, then theres the Neon blue my cake was, and I mean, they'll happily eat cake with iscing that all manor of colours, but mine crossed a line somehow, lol
We live in an era where mad men brine chicken with NyQuil. Anything unnaturally blue is suspect.
So far, everything I've tried from the cookbook has been fantastic. I especially love the sauce for the spiced crab legs / mirelurk meat. That stuff works fantastically on so many foods, it's nuts. I need to make a huge batch of that sauce.
0:05 Haha, "Bethesda's take"
The last time Black Isle did any take on Fallout, they fail really hard, you literally need to eat a copium and hate pill to play it and even then, you still can’t even lie to yourself about it
Everything looks amazing !!!
Thanks Andy!
Awesome video man, I suck at cooking and it’s therapeutic to see you making stuff that looks gourmet to be quite frank. Maybe one day I’ll get experimental and get one of these fun cook books.
Thanks Jo! Definitely recommend trying out one of these cookbooks one day. Could be a lot of fun for ya 👍
Great video! The cookies just look a little over cooked. Try a convection setting if you have it on your oven and use a cooling rack to put the cookies on right after you bake them (the hot cookie sheet will continue to cook the bottom.) You could always use food coloring to get a more vibrant green.
Very good tips! I'll keep these in mind if I try to make these again
I have made the crab cakes in this book several times, once with actual crab and twice with jackfruit to make a vegan alternative. I have also done the duck power noodles both with meat and vegan as well. Both are good recipes.
My daughter got me this for Christmas... so excited best gift ever
I've made the Buffout cookies before! It's basically green tea flavored shortbread IIRC, and you may have just had your matcha clump up when mixing the dough. I really wanna get the cookbook now though to try the rest of the recipes (that Deathclaw one looked AMAZING).
Yeah that's very possible that my matcha clumped up. And yeah the Deathclaw recipe is fantastic!
I have to get the Bethesda's cookbooks for myself one day. I'm planning to work as a chef in the future so trying these recipes out would help me a lot and be lots of fun to do
That's awesome, I wish you good luck in your training! And yeah I think making these recipes would be a fun way to practice
Patroling the UA-cam while hungry almost makes you wish for a plate of Mole Rat Wonder Meat Dip.
The cocktails in the back are brilliant and the s.p.e.c.i.a.l cocktail punch is great at getting you drunk
I actually use this cookbook a lot & I've gotta say the food is great!
Agreed! It's good a good set of dishes for sure
"Babe what are we having for dinner?"
M U T A N T D E A T H C L A W M E A T
the book must've been made moira brown and the lone wanderer
Dunno if anyone's answered your question or not on 'how to keep the cookies green' but one trick is to freeze them for 20ish minutes before cooking. It means they still cook but don't brown as quickly, which is one way of keeping the colours real bright. Hope this helps!
Your videos are very high quality 👍🏼
Appreciate the feedback. I'm trying to improve on my video shooting and editing skills and this has been a fun way of doing it.
The Mac and cheese and sugar bombed carrots are pretty great actually. The drinks are pretty alright too, but I haven’t tried the rest.
Buffout matcha cookies are also pretty great
I got my matcha cookies to come out bright green. They were honestly delicious and i make them occasionally
Brooo how did you do it?
I've tried 3 times already and jeep failing unless I use food color but that's not the way I'd like it
You deserve so many more subs, your production quality is amazing!
i knew in a moment that the braised deathclaw would be good when i see the spices and cooking it with a lot of process
I love this book, I have one for myself and I can't get enough of the recipes. It did Fallout well.
I've got this cookbook as well, made the Mole Rat Manicotti and it was absolutely amazing. Definitely worth a try. As for the Buffout, it might have been a combination of the placement in the oven, and how long you had them in the oven. I had to keep a very close eye on them during baking so I didn't lose the green color.
Yeah it could have been those. I also made them smaller than the recipe so I'm sure that was a factor also.
My wife got the me the book for christmas. I haven't cooked anything yet but the fact that I have it really puts a smile on my face.
That puts a smile on my face too! Good luck with your dishes when you do decide to make them 👍
I've really started to enjoy cooking lately so I'll definitely consider trying this book! I love Fallout! Subscribed!
You'll definitely find a lot of gems in this book. Fair amount of beginner friendly recipes too. Have fun cooking!
I'd really love a version of this cookbook but in a more 50s-60s cookbook style with hand drawn food pictures and less/aged photos.
I got the cookbook as a cool thing for my love for fallout. Never endeded up using it. might have to give it a shot someday
My cousin got it for me last night for Christmas Eve and I love it. IT CAME WITH A VAULT TEC APRON!!!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next. I'm curious what you'll think of Heroes' Feast: The Official D&D Cookbook.
Definitely on my radar! Got so many I want to try out

I WAS WAITING FOR THAT SOY SAUCE!
My wife is Filipina, he's cooking adobo. I fell in love with adobo pretty much immediately. Soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves, sugar, SPECIFICALLY pork belly is the best! You can make adobo of different meats, but I find pork belly to be the best and so does my wife. Specifically that's, if I'm not mistaken, Tagalog style adobo. Cebuano style adobo (where my wife is from, Cebu, in Visaya or Vasaya) is a bit different and involves deep frying but I digress. She's done a GREAT job at improving her Cebuano style adobo, but I still prefer this Tagalog style. HIGHLY recommend this recipe, she also uses oyster sauce which might be that 'Hoisin' stuff. The difference is, we don't use ginger (though I imagine that might be common in the Philippines), star anise (we ain't that fancy), lemongrass, cardamoms (I don't even know what that is, maybe my wife does), cinnamon, cayenne (good idea though, my wife and I like some spice, perhaps next time we make adobo we'll toss in a bit of cayenne), or peppercorn (though we do typically sprinkle in some black pepper). Bay leaves are always used, as is garlic. Did he include chopped onion? Can't remember, but we always chop up onion and cook it with the meat, which we let cook in the broth itself rather than boiling it beforehand. As the meat cooks, the broth thickens, and I find it DELICIOUS on rice.
Look, I'm a simple White man, eating plain white rice ain't happenin'. My wife can have the stuff for breakfast, and I mean PLAIN, not a drop of soy sauce or anything. Makes no sense to me. I need something on it or in it if I'm gonna eat rice. That tagalog adobo sauce... delicious. Makes rice seem like actual food, which I joke to my wife that rice isn't even actual food. Somehow she isn't a fan of pizza or burgers... yeah I don't understand it either. Anyhow, HIGHLY suggest people try out adobo. I never really thought about the Philippines, and never tried Filipino food, until I met my wife. Been trying more and more of their cuisine, almost married for a year now, and I must say I tend to very much enjoy their food. Asian cuisine tends to be dominated by Chinese and Japanese cuisine with a sprinkling of Korean, that's been my experience. If you catch this UA-cam comment, highly suggest checking for a local Filipino restaurant or to try making this Deathclaw meal. Make no mistake, its foundation is Filipino adobo, and it fucking rocks. Cheers and God bless!
Edit:
Wait, BAKE IT?! This is so over-complicated... it's boiled in the pan. Simple as. Don't boil the meat beforehand and don't bake it. Just cook the raw meat in the pan with the broth.
Edit2:
Oh yeah, almost forgot, my wife tends to prefer pork bouillon rather than chicken. If pork isn't available, then beef bouillon, but chicken seems like a fine substitute though really you could just use salt instead just like we use black pepper instead of those whole peppercorn things which I find to just be a pain. I call them 'pepperbombs' because if you accidentally bite into one, boom, taste of pepper just ends up dominating your mouth. Overly fancy, overly complicated, ground black pepper is better.
too long didn’t read
The Nuka Cola and Cherry Nuka Cola are also delicious. My wife got me the cook book and I've been trying to work my way through it.
the braised deathclaw steak was somewhat similar when cooking adobo (a dish here in the philippines). The difference were use of spices like lemon grass, cinnamon, cayenne, and cardamon. Also we used the broth from the pork itself not chicken broth
I agree it reminded me of that too but the spices gave it a different flavor profile compared to the ones my mom makes. I love traditional pork adobo though and I usually add extra lime (calamansi if available) or datu puti spicy vinegar
(oh hey MisoHungrie if you really reading this, make the buffout a bit bigger and don't make it super flat because it can cook faster and be brown. I use a normal cookie scoop and lightly flatten it and follow instructions and the cookies came out green)
This is my opinion of the cookbook please don't be rude as I explain my opinion.
This cookbook is fantastic not only I love fallout but this book is so much fun to read especially the scribble text and "replacements" of meats and vegetables. It even mention some stuff not only in the game but it tells you the stats on what can bring up your special.
The food on some of the recipes are pretty good. The instamash is amazing since it's mashpotatoes but a hint of fresh Rosemary and blue cheese and the radstag curry udon is really good. Some recipes even MisoHungrie said is a miss like the buffout recipes, you get a tiny hint of Matcha and a hint of allspice. While the blamco Mac and cheese is a bit watery even by looking at the recipe picture it looks watery.
Theirs nothing more for me to say about this cookbook, to me it's one of a kind and a excellent cookbook plus a fun one to cook and to read
I give it 9/10
I gotta say I made the fancy lad snack cakes and they were really difficult to make but were pretty tasty, maybe a bit too sweet. The mississippi quantum pie is literally a go to whenever i need to make a pie... its even richer than just a chocolate bar and tastes so good and is really filling so great for a big party, i have never made the whipped cream that goes on top but in my opinion its not needed.
I'm glad the quantum pie recipe is good! I definitely want to try it out one day.
Omg your content is so well made I thought you had at least 100k subs
Someone should open a fallout themed restaurant that serves food like this as well as having it play radio songs from all the games in the background. That would be really cool.
I'd definitely go!
Please do more from this book. I have the book but the recipes are pretty expensive to make. They have all these whacky spices and use other pretty expensive ingredients so i haven't tried to make anything yet.
Noted! I definitely have my eye on a few more recipes so I'm hoping to make those soon
I haven’t made many of the recipes in the cookbook because most of them are seafood, which I don’t like, but what I have made has been pretty great. I especially recommend the Mole Rat Manicotti and the Fancy Lads Snack Cakes.
Those two that you mentioned look really good. Definitely on my list that I want to try
The recipies sound good, I'd just have a hard time to find the ingredients. Who carries matcha powder during the apocalypse?
I got this cookbook around a year or so ago and I've really enjoyed a lot of the recipes in it.
Ah, I see you're a dessert buffout enjoyer
I'm more of a Party Time Mentats Man myself. But to each their own, I say !
Or... I think that's what I said, do I love Custard or Mustard again ? I think, I forgot
TBH i wish they made the Mr.House ending Cannon and had Fallout 4 have some sort of idea that NV is preparing to go to space. Then Starfield is some future built off of that
I have the cookbook and the Nuka-Quartz and the Fancy lad snack cakes are by far my favorite recipes
Well to me the recipe for NUKA/Quartz is cream soda and condensed milk… I’m from Guyanese decent BTW
Was not expecting Buffout to be the desert but I suppose you take what you can get in the wasteland
The cook book gets pretty close to the fallout feel but just to give it that extra zest I usually stick a nuclear isotope next to the dish for 2 to 3 hundred years
"Bethesda's take" lmfao rest in peace Interplay and Black Isle
The fact that cream cheese was interpreted as a pre war adhesive scares me
Buffout basically being a placebo sugar pill makes so much sense in the Fallout world.
I'm going to be honest here
That deathclaw State recipe is so good that it's actually how I cook things like lamb, pork, and steaks
It's that good
"Welcome to Camp Navarro. So you're the new replacement... what are you cooking, private?"
While the recipes look great, I really hoped more of them would be taken from the game since the Fallout world has so many canon dishes, and not just a bunch of real world dishes with Fallout references thrown on. While I appreciate the recipes that are of foods in the game like Blamco mac and cheese, as well as spins on in game foods like the Nuka Cola BBQ sauce or Tato soup, things like the vegetarian meatloaf being crossed out and replaced with baked bloatfly just felt a bit disappointing. I was also confused by the prevalence of Asian dishes that are kind of jarring when paired with the 50s Americana aesthetic of the Fallout universe.
Though overall it's still a fun book to have part of my collection!
All very good points. I do feel like a handful of the dishes just had the Fallout theme tacked on without a rhyme or reason. Maybe somewhere down the line there's gonna be another Fallout cookbook that will be more thematic.
Bless the algorithm! Glad to found your channel, subbed!
Most important thing for me: The Nuka-Cola syrup is best (personally) mixed into another soda, not tonic/soda water. My favourite mix is the syrup (a couple tablespoons) into some Diet Dr. Thunder.
I couldn't get the Mississippi Pie to firm up, I just had liquid. Made good ice cream topping, though. Do you think it could be an altitude issue? I live around 7000 feet.
I've also tried the Gecko Kebabs and Cornbread Muffins. Absolutely could (and did) demolish a whole recipe of those in one sitting (multiple times).
The Buffout is also good, but once it gets a day or so old, it gets very crumbly (friends have said they're good tea cookies, which is amusing since they're matcha.) My Buffout comes out mostly green like theirs (I suspect theirs is underdone, as mine gets a little brown/tan on the bottom. Additionally, I think I mix my ingredients in a different way... not sure if that would really affect anything, though.)
Disclaimer: I don't like tea, but I love the matcha cookies, so if that's anyone else's hang-up, you might actually be okay. :)
If not altitude, I definitely think room/fridge temp can be an issue. I just made Jello for the Pokemon cookbook I uploaded and mine didn't firm up either. Sometimes you just get unlucky. One day I'll try those Cola, kebabs, and cornbread muffin recipes that you mentioned.
I had the same issue with the pie but it was super tasty anyway!! Fwiw I’m at about 400 feet so don’t think it’s the altitude 😻
Man you're channel need recognition brother
Mans said he likes fallout
Fallout community: heresy, when the prophets learn of this, they will have your head
There's a bit of a joke that goes "no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans," and after reading these comments I think that can be applied to Fallout as well.
