Garniert sind die Rezepte mit Sprüchen und Bildern aus dem Spiel sowie einem einleitenden Text mit Spielbezug, sodass auch jederzeit etwas Overwatch-Feeling aufkommt. For those who have the Overwatch cooking book, which meal do you recommend and which one you do not recommend ? It’s hardly the first video-game inspired cookbook of its kind but where fare like Fallout: The Vault Dweller’s Cookbook or Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook draw on source material that’s both rich and sprawling, O:TOC has to do more with less. Die gut erläuterten und bebilderten Rezepte werden ergänzt durch die Infokästen zur Vorbereitungs- und Herstellungszeit, Portionsgröße und ob es sich beispielsweise um ein glutenfreies oder vegetarisches Gericht handelt. Welcome to Part 2 of our continuing review series of the official Overwatch cookbook. Last week’s feature had us enjoying a lazy Sunday brunch and this week has us cooking up lunch with the help of Sombra and Doomfist.

The recipes are the real treat here...A lot are things you could work into your everyday meal rotation." The book’s 98 recipes feature easy-to-find ingredients which also change according to the hero’s place of origin. Based on the setting of Blizzard’s team-based shooter, Overwatch: The Official Cookbook (hereafter referred to as O:TOK) tries to translate the cosmopolitan flavor of the game’s science fiction setting into a diverse selection of dishes, deserts and drinks. Building from the game's compelling narrative and variety of characters, this cookbook features international food and drink recipes from each hero's homeland. Each recipe includes straightforward step-by-step instructions, mouthwatering full-color photos, pairing suggestions, and more.Spread cooked beans on your toasted bun then pile high with the meat mixture. Top with shredded cheese and pop in the oven’s broiler to melt. After a few minutes, remove from the oven and finish with the toppings of your choice. I selected pico de gallo, slices of avocado, and fresh cilantro. As someone who hasn’t really used traditional cookbooks before, I had a great time working my way through O:TOC but that isn’t to say it doesn’t fall short from what it could — and what I hoped it would — be. We’ve had a few teasers and a few glimpses at what to expect, but for now all we have is the original Overwatch. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Many of us are still chugging away, mastering each of Overwatch’s 32 playable characters. And many of us are still invested in the game’s ever-growing lore as well. Mercy’s affinity for sweet, filling and protein-high food follows her across the day in a mission to keep teammates alive. Her eats are also made for busy days when she needs nutrition and comfort on-the-go.

The sections for Bastion, which includes such gems as ‘Bird Shaped Pretzels’ and ‘Treats for Wild Birds’, is a particularly bad offender for this — as is the final section of the cookbook, which compiles recipes for the two heroes who originate from a moon-based scientific research colony. The lighthearted tone found in O:TOC doesn’t always play nice with some of the darker characters or more dramatic elements of the wider fiction it inhabits. Still, the framing that the book tries to create around each recipe is definitely a plus if you’re a fan of the universe and of these characters.Winston stares at an empty meeting table in Watchpoint: Gibraltar and takes a bite of pineapple pizza. A smile comes while chewing. He relives happier moments with teammates and companions before the Petras Act left him isolated. Players sharing Zarya’s tastes could be a fan of sour flavours with their meals. Whether it’s a cold, rainy day (or an RGB-illuminated Overwatch session at home), Zarya’s preferences suit tankers who like taking a moment to enjoy each sip or bite before mercilessly surging enemies. The sheer warmth of her food also hugs players with comfort during intermissions. Zenyatta (Sweet, bitter, savoury, creamy) Zenyatta – Overwatch According to the cookbook, the serene Omnic doesn’t eat. But it didn’t stop him from giving happiness to others through food. Support players choosing Zenyatta might love fun-sized pastries, as his recipes focus on delivering foods made to smile. Mercy’s tastes reflect someone who likes a filling meal with some much-needed energy. Despite her health suggestion habits to teammates, she finds her own ways to keep her sweet tooth happy (and her well being happier). Reinhardt (Salty, umami, bitter, savoury) Reinhardt – Overwatch Yep. I read a cookbook. Cover to cover. Repeatedly. No I do not cook. Also, I do not play Overwatch, nor do I have any intention to start playing Overwatch.

For our main dish, I selected Sombra’s molletes which is basically a Mexican open-faced sandwich. Similar to a torta, this sandwich dish can be served for pretty much any meal and is incredibly easy to assemble. The included toppings can be easily customized for your taste or dietary restrictions. Precision tankers using Zarya could make the most out of every bite without losing momentum in a game. Players connected to her might find an instant surge of warmth in soups and dumplings. Umami describes a savoury and “meaty” taste the former Crusader continues to feel long after eating foods like the cheesy Kasespatzle.

Passed on from Ana’s own mother and reserved for celebrations, baking it reminds her of lost family time since a fateful duel with Widowmaker. This drink also finds a smooth, warm texture by incorporating heavy cream and butter. Players might feel soothed for a bit longer than usual before the next sip. If you’re connected to Reinhardt as a main, hearty family meals might be your fuel for long matches. Deep, juicy flavours from meats or browned veggies give you a much-deserved reward from sessions and take your mind off the objectives for brief moments. When you’re feeling full, a solace from bitter cheese can keep you appetized for a few more bites when the match counts down. Of course, there’s always room for some dessert later too. Zarya (Sour, tangy, umami, fragrant) Zarya – Overwatch See, Overwatch isn’t really a game with much of a story. In a narrative sense, it’s all setup with no payoff. There are characters. Goodies. Baddies. And with over 30 playable locations in the game (many of which pull from real-world cities like Busan and London) to brawl within, there’s certainly plenty of conflict in Overwatch.
