Back in 2021, Square Enix and Victoria Rosenthal released The Ultimate Final Fantasy XIV Cookbook: The Essential Culinarian Guide to Hydaelyn. You can still find that for $29.99 on stores like Amazon. Now, a companion to it will appear, as volume 2 of the FFXIV cookbook launches in October 2025. The Square Enix Online Store and Amazon are already taking pre-orders for $34.99 each.
The full title this time is The Ultimate Final Fantasy XIV Cookbook Volume 2: The Culinarian’s Journey from Shadow to Shore. This is to represent the regions covered in this installment. While the first entry primarily covered the base game, Heavensward, and Stormblood, this one includes food from the expansions Shadowbringers, Endwalker, and Dawntrail. 70 total recipes based on meals from the game will appear, and there will be step-by-step instructions and photos of how everything should look.
Only three specific meals ended up being confirmed for this book so far. One is the Alpine Breakfast that debuted in Heavensward, and will likely involve ingredients like bread, eggs, cheese, chicken, spinach, and tomatoes. The Tacos de Carne Asada are a Dawntrail recipe. In-game, this dish involves items like flour, meat, garlic, onion, paprika, and pepper. Finally, Pudding of Perseverance & Prominence will be in there, though I can’t seem to find a counterpart for that.
The Ultimate Final Fantasy XIV Cookbook Volume 2: The Culinarian’s Journey from Shadow to Shore will debut in October 2025, and FFXIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
