A cookbook inspired by the popular franchise hit the shelves last month, and it’s called Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook. It was co-authored by Marc Sumerak and Chelsea Monroe-Cassel, who previously wrote cookbooks based on several of our favorite pop culture obsessions, including Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft.

This cookbook was inspired by the cuisine at Disneyland’s attraction Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and it’s been described as “the ultimate source for creating out-of-this-world meals and treats from a galaxy far, far away.”

The cookbook features a total of 70 recipes, including sauces, soups, breads, main courses, desserts, and drinks, with such names as Mustafarian Lava Buns and Spicy Mandalorian Stew. If you’re thinking of hosting a Star Wars marathon, and treating your guests to some delicious dishes, this is exactly where you should be looking for recipes.

Cookbooks have been changing in the last decade or so into much more than your grandmother’s cookbooks, so here are some reasons to keep the traditions alive.

Stories

If you open up a recent cookbook, chances are that you won’t just find pages of recipes. Sure, they might be in there too, but alongside them are pages of stories or essays that give the reason why the author even created the book in the first place. These stories challenge and inform the reader’s ideas about the cuisine the author is referencing, which is so important in a time where food knowledge can start to run together.

Voice

Cookbooks give a voice to people that may not be heard otherwise. People from ostracized or minority groups who don’t hold power in society become powerful by using food as a tool. Food goes so much beyond eating, and allowing someone who has a real connection to the food tell the audience what they want them to know, is really powerful and inspiring.
