Overwatch: The Official Cookbook

Product Information

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. Her place of origin in Switzerland brings out sweet and savoury flavours from a Bircher Muesli oatmeal. If you’re connected to Reinhardt as a main, hearty family meals might be your fuel for long matches. Deep, juicy flavours from meats or browned veggies give you a much-deserved reward from sessions and take your mind off the objectives for brief moments. When you’re feeling full, a solace from bitter cheese can keep you appetized for a few more bites when the match counts down. Of course, there’s always room for some dessert later too.

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. 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. See, Overwatch isn’t really a game with much of a story. In a narrative sense, it’s all setup with no payoff. There are characters. Goodies. Baddies. And with over 30 playable locations in the game (many of which pull from real-world cities like Busan and London) to brawl within, there’s certainly plenty of conflict in Overwatch. For instance, there’s a super-rich pavlova that Widowmaker makes when she wants to think about her husband, who she totally murdered after being abducted and brainwashed by Talon and turned into a cold-blooded assassin.

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. Umami describes a savoury and “meaty” taste the former Crusader continues to feel long after eating foods like the cheesy Kasespatzle.

Hanzo’s weakness includes the smell of Shimada Tempura, which brings a variety of sweet and umami tastes from deep fried vegetables. While the batter provides crispiness and some salt, it enhances incredibly savoury flavours from shrimp tempura. 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. These are some of the foods which deepen the personalities behind Overwatch’s battle-hardened characters. We’ve had a few teasers and a few glimpses at what to expect, but for now all we have is the original Overwatch. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Many of us are still chugging away, mastering each of Overwatch’s 32 playable characters. And many of us are still invested in the game’s ever-growing lore as well. See, like many AAA games of the modern era, Overwatch is pitched as a live service title. A living breathing experience that evolves and gets updated over time. The upshot? Overwatch is a game that rewards revisitation. The downside? The main plot is all but frozen in time.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 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.

Winston stares at an empty meeting table in Watchpoint: Gibraltar and takes a bite of pineapple pizza. A smile comes while chewing. He relives happier moments with teammates and companions before the Petras Act left him isolated. 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 – Overwatch 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. Die gut erläuterten und bebilderten Rezepte werden ergänzt durch die Infokästen zur Vorbereitungs- und Herstellungszeit, Portionsgröße und ob es sich beispielsweise um ein glutenfreies oder vegetarisches Gericht handelt.Zenyatta’s version of the Indian Til Ko Laddu reflects his simplicity with only four recipes needed.
