Is the Final Fantasy XIV Cookbook any good? 

Nothing like the boss watching you smash a plate of lukewarm fettuccine that was in your inventory for Hydaelyn knows how long before you fight him.

You've come across a good niche for a channel.

One of the things I love about the book is not only do they have really wonderful and interesting recipes, but the flavour text atop actually does have text of Gyohan and Mogria meeting different characters through the story. And as someone who has finished the main story line, it made me so happy to know that main story characters and job characters even pop up in the story. Cant wait to try cooking some with my own book soon!

One thing i got to say is that due to how the lore and especially with how food lore works in the game, the book looks like it actually handles it well, it doesn't try to make anything, just build on what's already in game like the coffee biscuits reference, plus the namazu and moogles are the crafting beast tribes for the 1st two expansions, and personally namazu best beast tribe Its better for in the know references rather than world building, which considering how tight the team keeps even little details of story makes, I really appreciate

The fact me as a tank is "grabbing the bottle" if I don't get my heals fast enough really puts the universe of Final Fantasy into a new perspective.

Had to check if there was an FFXV official cookbook but found a fan made one. FFXV really could’ve have taken advantage. Seeing the meals in game was so good

I really liked how you switched your content up a bit, always talking and explaining what you're doing while preparing the food. I much prefer this over the cooking segments from some of the older videos with only music.

If you've played through the expansions you'll recognize that the comments before the recipe are about main and side characters the player sees throughout their journey.

> Hi-Elixir is just alcohol Ah, so that explains why black mages keep getting hit by aoe's. They're all black out drunk...

I'd LOVE to see you do breakfast, dessert, and maybe even snacks from this cookbook if it has them. Also, good on this cookbook for giving instructions on perfect duck. I feel like nothing is more disappointing than tough and dry poultry. That glaze sounds like it'd be awesome on not just duck, but also turkey and chicken.

Holy crap, your presentation of the food is so good!!!

Absolutely loving these cookbook reviews. As long as you make them, I'll watch them!

I recommend the destiny cookbook for a video! I haven’t cooked everything In the book but what I have done is 👍. It also has drinks

ever since finding your channel, and finding out ffxiv has a cookbook, ive been hoping youd make a video about it!! super nice video as always.

I love these videos, great work dude!

Super great quality video. The shots looked so good. Concise and to the point, great job!

I was waiting for this one nice content

Thank you so much for covering final fantasy food

I would drink potions, but I don't like alcohol. I mean I drink sometimes, but not often. I rather drink non-alcohol drinks, but it's hard to replace like blue curacao. But I found blue frugo (a juice with mixed fruits) and I can replace blue curacao.

Would love to see more of these!

As someone who bought the book (along with a friend) I can say the recipes are great, I esspecially love the Pixieberry Tea, a friend added edible sparkles to it, made it actually look like a Pixie made it!

those potion bottles be lookin kinda real good

I think I just came across a channel I'll really enjoy in the future. Great video!

hello! i recently found your channel and i was super surprised when you weren't bigger. your videos are great quality and i really enjoy them!

The colours are absolutely gorgeous in these meals!

These just keep getting better and better! And making me hungrier and hungrier! 🥲

I love this channel! Keep up this cool content man

I.left a comment in one of your previous videos suggesting a review for this and you replied with "it was next on the list". I'm glad the book got a positive review considering i broke from anticipation last night and order my own. Awesome channel

I've been binging your channel for like three days

This all looks fantastic! I'd also recommend the dnd cookbook Feast of Heroes! They've got some interesting meals in there, definitely worth a try!

I love everything this channel puts out, everything is entertaining and fun to watch for gamers and people who love to cook

I had your channel in my recs and I'm so happy I did, binged your videos the last two days and absolutely adore them, they make me want to cook something cool, too! Also despite not having played the mmorpg I was kind of eyeing this cookbook so seeing this review definitely helped and made me want to get it more! (And to maybe finally play the game as well...) Either way I really hope your channel blows up soon, you totally deserve more views and subs because your content is great and just super chill to put on the side, keep up the great work!

yay!!!!!! i'm so happy you enjoyed it, and you had fun with it. i hope you are having fun with FF14 and that as it goes on you get more involved with the lore and everything the game has to offer. i'm really excited to go over the recipes with my fiancé and cook them together. here's to hoping you have great adventures in eorzea! : )

Glad to hear the book is good! I used your previous videos reviewing this author's game recipe books before picking this book up. Looking forward to actually making Warmwine, another batch of Coffee Biscuits, espresso con panna, and Royal Eggs on Endwalker day.

Awesome video as always... Keep it up

I have been contemplating on getting the cookbook ( I too love the CUL class in FFXIV, as it is my only lvl 80 DoH rn) and I am glad you reviewed the book! I even saw your Pokemon one from Oct, so that gave me a verdict on which to buy xD +1 sub from me!

Well I’m gonna have to pick up this cookbook now!

That Starlight Dodo looks soooo goood!

I've had the X-potion and the Elixir. Both are amazing, but that X-Potion is really nice when it hits your pallets.

We tried the Cawl Cennin, which was a potato leek soup. The addition of the lemon juice really changed the flavor profile of the dish, it was tasty. We also made the sweet cornbread, which was also good for breakfast the next morning. I want to try the crab croquettes and Steppe salad next. The little flavor text at the top of each dish was fun to read.

Welcome to Eorzea, fellow Culinarian! We hope you enjoy your stay! FFXIV is absolutely insane with worldbuilding and lore. Be it jokes or info tidbits, it all adds up so well. And the food looks *so good*, ahah. I actually run a store in-RP, and sell food items I made myself. Finger sandwiches, bubble chocolate, stews, etc. If you're on the Aether DC, maybe I'll have to ask you to stop by, ahah. Edit: I saw the Salmon muffin recipe for a second and wanted to say that, yes, I also have that! It is a pain to get the ingredients for! Fishing! Ahahahahah (help). I genuinely have a 'problem'. I collect food in every game I play.

Looks very yum well done

Aw hell yeah! I was debating whether I should buy this but the recipes look real good.

The sesame cookies are amazing. Won over my whole family.

I love this channel! A hidden gem

I just tried out the first potion recipe and it's pretty good! Didn't add any alcohol, but it really just tastes like pink lemonade with a hint of lavender. If I do this again, I might actually add more lavender and hope the taste lingers a bit longer..... It's a decent amount of work just because it's pretty time consuming, but if you invite friends over and make a bigger batch, I would definitely recommend this one! Great video, the instructions were easy to follow!

I'm not gonna lie, I love being Culinarian in 14 but saw the book on Amazon so I jokingly put it on my christmas wishlist. After watching this video I get the sneaking suspicion I might be making that Dodo soon xD

Found your channel because of the cookbook. I enjoyed your presentation style. You make it look fun 😂. Would like to see you try the coffee biscuits sometime. I think you’re just missing this author’s Destiny cookbook and then you’ll have all of her works. I can’t wait to her SF cookbook. Just noticed your tag says FinalFantasyX. I’m sure you’ll get more hits if you added IV.

Been curious about this for a while now since I saw it on pre order

Great game, great food, great channel!

Wow those skewers look really good! That ducks looks juicy and delicious too. Definitely buying this. Thanks for the video! :D

Your channel is amazing

loved it

Still waiting for the book to release in my country so I can get cooking on these recipes. It really does look stunning so it would be a nice addition to my cookbooks & XIV merch as well. I think the lore is a nice touch that is something very typical of the XIV team (devs and marketing together).

I asked my parents to get me this cookbook for Christmas. Culinarian is my favorite class. ^_^

I love that many of FFXIV's Culinarian recipes in-game are based on real-world dishes. I'd never heard of shakshouka before playing this, and ended up making it in RL, even though I knew I'd be dodgy about the poached-egg nature of the dish (I don't like the texture). Still turned out nice enough in flavor. Will make again -- except I will fry the eggs in molds so that there will be no ick factor for me. :)

The king uploads again.

This cookbook is reason i was lurking on this channel ^^ I remember looking at recipee for oden in game - then i realized how ff14 recipees actually have semblance of real food. It was then when i decided i want to start learning to cook right. When i learnt they released a cookbook, i was only sceptic about the price... but i think its a game "gadget" for me ^^

Two years late, but the Exquisite Beef Stew and Knight's Bread pair very well together with the bread to dip in the stew

Welcome to Eorzea!! o/ Just a long-time player topping by to say I hope you enjoy the journey, and that I really enjoyed your coverage of the cookbook! As you head deeper into the game, I highly recommend re-visiting the little bits of Lore at the start of each recipe. They actually make all sorts of fun references to people and things in-game that'll make more sense the farther in you are. (My personal favorite is the intro for hot chocolate. Whenever you get access to the Firmament in the game, check out the item description for each grade of Rock Salt, it's hilarious!)

Found your channel because of the Nuka Cola video and have been loving these cookbook reviews. I would love to see you review the Heroes' Feast official D&D cookbook sometime.

Just bought this tonight after hitting level 80 culinarian, going for the TRUE culinary end game now

It’s odd actually owning one of these while watching for once, I look to my left and my copy stares back at me

I love this book. Actually made a couple things from it and it’s so good. I mean, it does nothing wrong. It’s a cook book to me. But it’s final fantasy related and I love it!

7:32 As a Vietnamese WoL I love all the VN references FF14 has, like Ao Dai glamour set, Banh Xeo and the fact that the Nagxian people also use stealth tactics to fight off the Garleans, much like us Vietnamese when we fought the French and American. But the fact that they use the Vietnamese word Nước chấm for Dipping Sauce, I feel so proud. I’m waiting for this cookbook to arrive and knowing this little detail makes me even more hyped.

This is a great video, and I hope you’re enjoying your time in Eorzea! Try the Farmer’s Breakfast, it’s so damn good. Have a sub!

I can recommend the cookbook! Honestly, I think a fan who cooks will probably enjoy it more than a random person who doesn't play the game, but there are still some great recipes in there that people can enjoy regardless (depending on your taste, of course). My favorite recipe so far is the Honey Muffins; the cardamom in the crumble on top really makes it delicious. The Sesame Cookies are probably my next favorite; they're really unique, in that they don't particularly look or smell good, but the taste is like an earthy butter cookie, that strangely enough changes the more you chew it, in a good way. I also made the Orobon Stew; this one was more complex (for me), and somehow I ended up with like twice as many dumplings as I needed. But it was quite tasty, with some adjustments; it's basically a chicken noodle soup with a slightly different taste profile due to the herbs and spices (and with dumplings instead of noodles).

Everything looks so good! The duck looked like it has abs 😆

Another great video! Not a huge fan of duck but id make it just to get revenge on the Dodo's from the game haha.

I just made the skybuilders stew last night and let me tell you. SO DELICIOUS. Highly recommend!

I actually might make the duck recipe in general tbh. It actually looks very decent even the glaze.

Man that duck looks PERFECT!!. . .wow. . .and yes I am bringing your show right now. . .dont judge. . Lol

This is kinda weird to compliment but the way you had everything displayed was beautiful

Great video, as per usual. The dodo looked so nice! I never made any kind of bird like this, how does the stuffing affect the taste of the meat? Also on a semi-related note: have you considered checking out the Destiny 2 cookbook?

Awesome Vid! I’ve been considering getting this book for a while now. How beginner friendly would you say most of the recipes are for someone newer to cooking?

You’ve earned a sub

Yooo I've been waiting for this kinda wish if you do more recipes in that book tho, i'll definitely watch it again when you reach the Award Winning Heavensward Expansion and try out their Ishgardian recipes

Oh man, please do more recipes from it.

I was already interested in that cook book, but now I know I have to buy it

My boyfriend got me this Alien cookbook and it’s a very interesting one indeed! Look into that when you can! Love the content!

If potions are mostly made from alcohol, that really puts it into context as how we keep getting these crazy adventures. Go kill god? Sure lemme just finish drinking this hi-elixir real quick.

I used worcestershire sauce & balsamic vinegar marinated mushrooms before and that already tastes good with onions/garlic on the grill so lavander might not hurt that, but might not be worth the effort to find it and add it

I love itttt ❤

Sir you got fluffies at your door steps drooling at your food along with Au ra and a munchkin lalafell.

Now we just need the recipe for Night Milk. ;)

Excellent matching your avatar to yourself! Handsome and clean cut on both accounts.

I got this for Christmas from my older brother we're already marking recipes down.

I got the Gamestop edition and I love it, can't wait to try some recipes like the potions, they look good

How to bake potatoes Lalafells: IT'S A COOKBOOK!

I like your food presentation :)

YO YOUR CHARACTER LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE YOU???

If you do ever continue in XIV, I'd love to see you cook the recipes in the Culinarian finales.

does anyone know the dimension of this book? I wana know the width to see if i can buy it and send to someonev

Looks like I have a new cookbook I need to add to my collection!

Did you use those american measurement teaspoon and tablespoons or *actual* spoons you'd use for stirring coffee / eating soup? I got the cookbook, but I'm European and I'm never sure with recipes written in English. I know there are also the measurements in gramm but not for everything, for example when a recipe calls for 2 1/2 teaspoons do I use a measuring spoon or an actual teaspoon?

I love that this cookbook follows the source material's real world influence and worldbuilding for it's recipes instead of trying to invent different foods based on specific character. References in the flavor text before the actual recipe, yes, but nothing like "captain hero's brave sandwich" or "red monster's ketchup chips."

*Cries in Ignis

Please do the 'Savage' content from cookbook too XD

Now I really want a copy. I usually don't have high expectations of this type of merchandise, but it looks good (High Quality one might say) both for the fan service and as a cookbook.

That farmer's breakfast is goddamn transcendent.
