Game Rant is excited to share an exclusive excerpt from Persona: The Official Cookbook. This preview features delicious recipes inspired by the beloved Persona 3, 4, and 5 games.
While cooking may not always take center stage, it plays a unique role in the narrative of the Persona series. To capitalize on this aspect, Atlus announced the official cookbook back in March 2025, with an expected release in October.
In the lead-up to the launch, Insight Editions provided sample pages of the cookbook, showcasing recipes that evoke the essence of the Persona games. Among the dishes is the Super-Athlete Meal, inspired by Akihiko’s nutritional habits in Persona 3. This easy-to-make dish is a variation on the classic hot pot, featuring a flavorful dashi base along with assorted vegetables and can be prepared within approximately 40 minutes.
