Recipes from Hawkins and Beyond

Prepare to have your mind flayed with over fifty recipes from the denizens of Hawkins in this first official cookbook from the hugely popular Netflix series.

Celebrate the culinary cravings of your favorite Stranger Things characters with Stranger Things: The Official Cookbook, featuring over fifty recipes from all facets of this beloved world, whether it’s ’80s mall food, a weeknight dinner at the Wheelers', or the best Dungeons & Dragons snack.

Make the scary good Demigorgonzola Cheese Balls. Experiment with Erica Sinclair’s science project that yields Doubly Delicious Maple Pancakes.
