It’s May 5th! Do you know what that means?! It’s Revenge of the 5th! After we shared all of those recipes with you yesterday. We thought it was the perfect time to review the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook! We’ve been waiting for the right moment to post this review and now is it! After all, we are all doing a lot more cooking at home.

The Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook “is inspired by the cuisine from Disney’s hugely anticipated theme park expansion, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Based on the delicious delicacies found in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu, this cookbook provides Star Wars fans with a wealth of delicious intergalactic recipes. Engaging, fun, and informative, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Cookbook is the definitive guide to the delectable cuisines of a galaxy far, far away.”

At this point, you’re probably saying, “I wish they’d get to the review.” Well, here we are. Overall, the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Cookbook is a lot of fun. There are some great recipes. We really loved the Gruuvan Shaal Kebabs (check out the recipe below). The non-park recipes like the kebabs are where the cookbook really shines. The book is well laid out and very accessible to cooks of all levels.

Obviously, it isn’t reasonable to expect Disney to share their recipes identically, but for example, The Ronto Wrap isn’t anywhere in the same ballpark of ingredients (it uses chorizo and guacamole, which aren’t anywhere in the park’s version). If you are purchasing this cookbook solely for the purpose of recreating the items found inside the park you might be disappointed. We would have loved to have seen the mashed veggies and herb gravy as they are served in the park.

Despite the above critique, this is a really great cookbook for any Star Wars fan to add to their collection. We can’t wait to try more of the recipes in it and bring a little bit of the Star Wars galaxy into our home. Do you already own the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Cookbook? What are some of your favorite recipes?
