Five Nights at Freddy's

This month, we decided to highlight one of our Young Adult cookbooks: The Official Five Nights at Freddy's Cookbook, by Scott Cawthon. Over 40 recipes are divided into 8 chapters, each named after members of the “gang” – “Bonnie’s Burgers & Subs” for Bonnie, “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza” for Freddy Fazbear, and so on. Tips, tricks, and even warnings from these creepy cartoon characters make this book a very interesting read, on top of the delicious recipes! Some of our staff’s favorite recipes include Fazcade Pulled Pork Quesadillas, Moondrop’s Blueberry Pancakes, and Bonnie’s Ultimate Burger with Crispy Buttermilk Onions. Uniquely edited photos, distressed pages, and neon colors really show the inspiration from the game Five Nights at Freddy’s. For anyone who hasn’t played the game, Wikipedia describes it as a game that “revolves around a character called Mike Schmidt, who begins working as a night security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where the animatronics move at night and supposedly kill anyone they see by stuffing them into a spare animatronic suit”. After the game gained such popularity, a book series, a character guidebook, a graphic novel series, and a DVD were all released – all of which can be found at BPL. Five Nights at Freddy’s originated in 2014, but this featured cookbook is new to our collection within the last year. If The Official Five Nights at Freddy's Cookbook interests you, find it under the call number, “YA 641.5 Mor.”
