”Chicken skewer slow-grilled over a charcoal fire.

 Light and refreshing on the tongue.”

I first saw Palworld at a convention and heard some people talking about the similarities to another well known game that is beloved by many people.  I decided to try it and got hooked on catching new pals and automating my base.  Having the Foxpark pal cook using the campfire (and the flamethrower ability) are some of my favorite game mechanics.  Scrolling through the higher levels, I found that there was an upgraded cooking with the cooking pot and power leveled just to unlock the new recipes.  The Grilled Chikipi looked delicious so I decided to make the skewers even though I don’t have access to a charcoal fire.  Instead, I used a grill pan and cooked the green onion and chicken separate so that the green onion doesn’t burn in the time it takes for the chicken to fully cook through.

About Me

I am an avid gamer with a love for food and especially desserts. 

Anime was the driving force behind recreating these foods in real life; the art made everything look delicious. 

So, I tried my hand at making some of the foods I saw and then further delved into food from video games. 

While not all go according to plan, I still love making food from games and hope to share them with everyone!
