The Cake is a Lie - from Portal

The cake may not be a lie, but it can be a lot of work. Still, when sitting down to another play-through of Portal, what else would you want to be eating than this? This cake is great - it's so delicious and moist.

Lava Cookies - from Pokemon

Okay. Seaweed on a cookie sounds crazy, right? Don't let that stop you. If you've jumped on the salty-sweet craze, you may just like these chocolate chunk cookies with their salty nori garnish. I hear they're a hit in Lavaridge Town.

Sea Salt Ice Cream - from Kingdom Hearts II

This salty-sweet treat is great in the summertime (or anytime). A bit tricky to make if you've never made ice cream, but it's as nostalgic for fans of Kingdom Hearts as it is for Roxas.

Healthstones - from World of Warcraft

Feeling a little low on health and inclined to reach for a sugary power-up? Grab a few healthstones before your next raid, instead. Delicious and nutritious! (And did I mention they're really easy to make?)

Rock Sirloin - from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess

Ever get a hankering for a nice, tasty slab of rock? Well, neither have I, but The Geeky Chef has an amazing take on this Zelda fan favorite - an easy-to-make beef wellington.


Goopy Carbonara - from The Sims

If you're not a complete noob in the kitchen, this recipe is easy-peasy. If you are, turn on your smoke alarm and start leveling up that cooking skill - this is worth all the anxiety (and the kitchen fires) you put your Sims through. Why shouldn't you have some, too?

Murloco Taco Supreme - from World of Warcraft

Are you sick of eating bear meat and hearing the irritating cries of Murlocs? Time to make some delicious fish tacos.

Caitlyn's Yordle Snap Trap Cupcakes - from League of Legends

Laying traps for the opposing team but don't know what to use as bait? There's nothing better than a delicious cupcake to lure them in. Served with kierpanda's other LoL-inspired hors d'ouevres, (Ahri's Charmed Onigiri and Amumu's Shrimp Lettuce Wraps), these perfect little nibbles will keep your team fueled in your next League match.

Yeto's Superb Soup - from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Why settle for a simple soup when you can make a good one? Better yet, why make a good soup when yours can be superb? This soup may take you a bit of time, but there's nothing better when it's cold outside.

Minecraft Pumpkin Pie - from Minecraft

Who's ready for some pixelated pumpkin? Half pumpkin pie, half cheesecake, this recipe is all delicious.
