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. 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. Doomfist’s Punch Drunk Punch is a delightful, fruity concoction made up of fresh fruit, orange and lemon-lime sodas, bitters, and grenadine for color. If you want to really get a punch out of it you can optionally add gin or tequila.

I hugely enjoyed this book - it helped me explore new foods from my favourite characters and practice cooking, preparing food, etc. as this is something I've needed to continuously work on for my job. Die Gerichte sind entsprechend der Kontinente aufgeteilt, aus denen die einzelnen Spielhelden stammen, ergänzt um den Mond, schließlich befinden wir uns in der Zukunft, in der auch der Erdtrabant kolonisiert wurde. For this, we profiled the flavours of the most popular characters, according to global data from Competitive PC Players on Master Overwatch. Mercy (Sweet, sour, tarty) Mercy – Overwatch Cook up more than ninety recipes inspired by the heroes of Blizzard Entertainment’s hit game with Overwatch: The Official Cookbook.A simple Japanese Tamago Kake Gohan dish combines the essentials of rice, eggs and acid for a well-balanced breakfast. It’s also where Hanzo shows a palate for sharp acids from soy sauce and mirin splashed on the dish. A Furikake Seasoning adds sesame and dried fish for extra sweetness. Each bite also comes with raw egg to tone the dish’s powerful flavours down and provide (extra) protein. 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.

There’s an important caveat to this. Some of these sections are much stronger than others. Not just in terms of how delicious or involved they are but in how compelling or appetizing they are. The setting it pulls from always looks towards the future but this cookbook is firmly focused on the past. Its recipes are traditional, foundational and conventional. As a first-time cookbooker, that approach worked fine but, lore snippets aside, there’s little here to latch onto. 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.Before learning the pelmeni (russian dumplings) recipe in this cook, I had never made any kind of dumplings before. Now, I’m eager to try making pirogi. Those cookbooks are made by people, sometimes even people in cooking franchises, but still just people with tastes and mindsets that have automatic biases. So uneven weights happen. Whether it's Italy getting a couple extra, or China, or France, there's always a slight slant. Sometimes that slant is even found in nothing but how the 'other country' dishes are all seasoned slightly wrong (like a slant Italian cookbook way underdoing it with the cayenne or turmeric in a dish from Marrakech). 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. 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.

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. 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 – OverwatchWelcome 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. Ana prepares a sweet milk mixture for Umm Ali, a traditional Egyptian dessert she loved to make for her daughter Pharah. 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.

These are some of the foods which deepen the personalities behind Overwatch’s battle-hardened characters. Garniert sind die Rezepte mit Sprüchen und Bildern aus dem Spiel sowie einem einleitenden Text mit Spielbezug, sodass auch jederzeit etwas Overwatch-Feeling aufkommt. Her place of origin in Switzerland brings out sweet and savoury flavours from a Bircher Muesli oatmeal. Umami describes a savoury and “meaty” taste the former Crusader continues to feel long after eating foods like the cheesy Kasespatzle. I’m not the type to get patriotic but, frankly, Overwatch’s Mad Max-esque take on Australia deserves better than this.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. 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
