Intro

Feel hungry while you're wandering Level 0?

Bored of the same 3 meals over and over again?

Don't worry! This cookbook will give you enough information to turn your Backrooms culinary adventure from a diet of wallpaper and Almond Water to a gourmet delight!

*We are not responsible for potentially dangerous recipes written in this book, as it is an heirloom. We assure you that nothing we wrote upon publication was lethal.

Materials

First, let's get our tools ready.

  • 2x Sharp Longswords / Machetes (Knives aren't big enough for many types of Entity meat)
  • 3x Chef's Knives of various sizes (For finer things)
  • 2x Frying Pans
  • 3x Pots with Lid
  • Any oven
  • A grill
  • Measuring equipment
  • A mixing pot
  • A spear (For safely killing smaller entities)
  • A rifle (For safely killing larger entities)
  • A shotgun (In case things go wrong)
  • A minigun (In case things go REALLY out of control)
  • A grenade launcher (In case you don't have a choice)
  • A fridge
  • A spatula
  • Steak Knives
  • A pressure cooker
  • M.E.G Class Plasma Rifle (When bullets won't work)

All of these materials can be collected from various levels, might take you a few days to collect them. Plasma Rifles are actually fairly easy to come by, due to how mass-produced they are in many regions of Level 11.

Meats

Almond-Marinated Hound Rib

Preparing the meat:

Almond-Marinated Hound rib

You want very fresh meat, so get the marinade into the pan before you kill the Hound. Here's how to make it:

  • 1 cup of Almond Water (or Cured Almond Water)
  • 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
  • Liberal Crimson Oil
  • Mix well

If you have a Hound ready, great! Otherwise, start screaming. A Hound will probably come to kill you soon. Then, take your spear and stab it through the heart. This will get it nice and juicy for when you eat it. You can get a lot of meat off of it, but we won't be cooking those today. Instead we will be curing it. Get some nice rib meat, and get it into the pan. It'll marinate in it's own blood as well as the marinade you made earlier. Flip it occasionally, and make liberal use of herbs and spices. Serve with some vegetables. ALWAYS cook until Well Done, as consuming it while Rare or Medium-rare has a 40-50% chance or higher of infecting you with Hound Virus.

Grilled Insanity Steak

Note: You can substitute human or faceling meat for insanity meat in this recipe, though this counts as cannibalism and is not endorsed by this cookbook.

Grilled Insanity Steak

Get your grill going with charcoal, and then get a friend watching it and head to Level 6. Kill an insanity in any way, you don't need to worry about damaging specific areas of the meat. Use a cooler if you can, otherwise just head back to your grill. Butcher the insanity in any way you feel good with. Add salt and pepper, and slap it onto the grill. Flip it a few times, and then you're good to eat.

Medium-Rare Gambler

Medium-Rare Gambler

First, you'll need to take a gambler from Level 2 (Altrooms), then cut the gambler with a butcher knife or a sniper rifle (their skin is tough). After you have a cut-up gambler, dispose of the head (If you use the head for this recipe, we recommend you remove the brain.) then put the part of the gambler you want to eat in an oven at 130/135 degrees fahrenheit. Once the dish is done, put it on a plate and put salt and pepper (optional) onto the meat. Use the poker chips on the gambler for spreading sauce (optional).

Once done, leave them to cool for at least 5 minutes, then you are ready to go. Once you've finished, enjoy the meal! Also a warning: They might be hard to chew due to their hard muscle tissue.

Juice-Ache rolls

Take a saucepan and fill it quarter-way with veggie oil, then set the temperature to about 150 degrees fahrenheit. then get some Juice-Ache and kill it with your rifle. Be fast to leave the level before all the Juice-Aches come at you. wring the meat from the dead Juice-Ache and mold them into the shape of a roll. dip the rolls in some melted butter and, an optional but recommended touch to them would be some shredded skin-stealer skin. make sure you do this while the rolls are still raw, because the skin needs to be cooked. then put your rolls in the saucepan and deep-fry them for 50 minutes. once they're done add a dash of parsley, salt and pepper.

once done, you can leave them to cool down. add some extra time in the fridge, as they're healthier and tastier to eat cold. once that's done, enjoy your meal!

Salted Hound

Salted Hound

You should have some leftover Hound meat salted from prior recipes. Simply roast it and you have some quick food ready that can last a few months.

Kentucky Fried Screecher

First, prepare a bowl of water and a bowl filled with fine bread crumbs. Take your Kitchen Longsword/Machete, and decapitate a Screecher. Then, impale it to drain the stomach acids. Wait 2-4 hours, and get some decent cuts of meat.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE ALL STOMACH ACID HAS BEEN VACATED FROM THE CHEST CAVITY OF THE SCREECHER. OTHERWISE, THE MEAT WILL BE POISONOUS.

Kentucky Fried Screecher

Bring your Screecher cuts to your kitchen, and then dunk the entire thing in water. Then, start breading them. Do that for a while, and then make sure that nothing is overbreaded. Then, slap the meat in the pressure fryer. Make sure to always cook it longer than you think you should.

Grilled Chicken

Sadly, actual Frontrooms chickens don't exist in the Backrooms. "Chickens" are actually shapeshifting alligator void monstrosities, but you can still cook them.

Prepare the following:

1 Tablespoon of Smoked Crimson Fern (Tastes similar to Frontrooms Paprika)

1 Tablespoon of Crimson Oil

Some Minced Garlic from the Snackrooms

Grilled Chicken

1 Tablespoon of Almond Water

1 Teaspoon Crimson Leaf

Blend this into a marinade and refrigerate it. Then, head to Level 3 with your Plasma Rifle. Take left turns whenever you can, and eventually a chicken will come to attack you.

NOTICE: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU KEEP TRACK OF TIME. IF YOU SPEND 24+ HOURS IN LEVEL 3, YOU WILL DIE.

Once you see the chicken, immediately blast it with the plasma rifle until you're sure it's dead, and then hack what's left of it into pieces. This is insurance, since chickens are some of the most dangerous entities. After you've killed it, put on latex gloves and a mask. Cut choice pieces of meat, and then get them at least 8 meters from the rest of the body. Make deep incisions into the meat, and then boil it in Almond Water. This will force the venom out of it's venom glands. Discard the Almond Water and the rest of the body in a container clearly marked as a biohazard. Then, take the meat to your grill. Heat the grill up to at least 500 degrees Fahrenheit and start grilling the meat. Douse the meat in almond water, and then spread the marinate over it. The meat will have an amazing consistency and taste, but ensure that you extracted the venom before biting into it, as it is incredibly potent.

Exceedingly Well-Done Bio-Meat

Exceedingly Well-Done Bio-Meat

Bring weapons for your journey for Bio-bot flesh, and a lucky charm. Bio-bots are the only entity found in Level 1443, and are extremely common. A disposable-class bio-bot is enough to feed a normal survivor for a day. Pray that you do not become the food for the bio-bots.

Cook Bio-bot meat on a stick (or other pointy material/tool) above a fire (make sure it is extra hot). Make sure it looks black, if not, it can re-animate and become a parasite. Make sure all sides are cooked equally. Remove all pink (not red) meat. Season with salt and pepper.

Honey Mustard Zverikal Steak

Bring a weapon to temporarily stun a zverikal, then chop off it's leg with a machete, zverikals are very aggressive but the reward is worth it due to a single leg being able to feed 3 people for 2 days.

Honey Mustard Zverikal Steak

As soon as you have the leg, begin scraping the skin and any parts with ink off of it, then stick it on a grill for 10 minutes and then flip it, while you do this you can put any type of spicy honey mustard into a big pot and raise it to a boiling temperature, as soon as you have the honey mustard boiling and the leg off the grill, you can stick the leg into the pot and swirl it around, and voila! You have the Honey Mustard Zverikal Steak!

(K.I.T.E not responsible for any deaths resulting in the swallowing of zverikal ink)

Skin-Stealer Steak Tartare

Be sure to find a healthy Skin-Stealer, preferably one without a lot of fat. Remove the skin with the wax and the suckers, the other organs and reserve the meat. Get a good portion of the muscles near the spine. It may feel strange, but it's the most tender part of Skin-Stealers. Salt the steak liberally in both sides. Leave it covered in a refrigerated area for 1-2 hours, get it back and rinse the steak.

Skin-Stealer Steak Tartare

Trim the tendons and major pieces of fat, then dice it as finely as you can. Season it with more salt, pepper, vinegar (preferably the red wine one) and olive oil. To top it off, get an egg yolk and put it on top of the steak tartare. Optionally, you can quickly poach the yolk to handle it better.

You can eat it with some good toasts, french fries, a great salad or just eat it by itself. I don't make the rules.

Ringworm Pizza

Ringworm Pizza

Ringworm Pizza is a pizza with random toppings, which is soggy. It has Ringworms inside the crust, along with other nasty bacteria. Eating this will cause you to vomit out blood, pepperoni, and some partygoer flesh. If a Partygoer eats this, they'll grow stronger, if you find a ringworm pizza, be sure to not eat, or else you will die in a painful way, so don't eat it for your good.

Properly Sanitized Partygoer Kebabs

Only attempt this if you know what you're doing.

OK, seriously? You want to eat a Partygoer?! Alright, here's an old recipe, but I warned you...

You'll need: One dead Partygoer, one complete virus deleter, Almond Water, sauces, and spices.

  1. Kill your target using a plasma rifle.
  2. Equip a hazmat suit, you're dragging it back to your kitchen
  3. Sanitize your selected cut using boiling or nanobots if available.
  4. Cook for 15 minutes, adding various sauces and spices.
  5. Kebab the meat
  6. If you did it properly, enjoy your fresh cut of insanity in food form.

Clump Arm Steak & Fingers

You'll need: One hacksaw, one detached clump arm, breading, spices, butter, and a good sense of morality taste

  1. Hack off an arm. Sounds difficult, but it isn't.
  2. Cut off a cut of choice and fingers.
  3. Deskin/debone the fingers. Bread the meat.
  4. Fry the fingers, and filet the meat.
  5. Serve with Fried Death Rat tails for french fries.

Vegetables and Starches

Grilled Marinate Bacon Corn

Grilled Marinated Bacon Corn

Head down to Level 10, where there is an abundance of nice fresh corn. Make sure you don't ascend realities while you're there, and grab a few ears. Then, get some Crimson Fern, Almond Water, and Skin-Stealer Bacon. Wrap your Corn in Skin-Stealer Bacon, then start grilling. Make your average Crimson Fern marinade, and coat the surface in it.

Backrooms Grass Salad

Stuck in a grassy level? Desperate? Starving? Just like the taste of grass? Or are you a sentient cow who no-clipped into the backrooms? Follow these instructions to properly prepare backrooms equivalent of grass.

Backrooms Grass Salad

Some grass found in the backrooms have anomalous properties, make sure you don't accidentally harvest some that have harmful properties.

Firstly, harvest some grass, and then properly clean it. Rinse for at least 5 minutes.

Put into a bowl with fruits found in the Backrooms such as 'corn' and various leaves. If none are available, tree leaves may be an okay alternative.

Season with the backrooms equivalent of salt and dressing. Almond Water may be a good alternative if no dressing is available.

After properly mixing, you may now enjoy grass.

Backroom Potato Skins

Served at many backrooms restaurants, the Backroom Potato Skin is a close approximate to Frontrooms potato skins.

You will need skin-stealer bacon, some green onions, potatoes and whatever passes as "cheese" for you.

Cut potatoes in half and gut them.

Get your Backroom Cheese and spread it on the potatoes.

Grab bacon and cut it.

Cut onions.

Spread bacon and onions, cook for 5 minutes, and enjoy with nearby dressings, such as Backrooms Ranch or Backrooms Sour Cream.

Seafood (And probably some fish)


Grilled Salmon

Likin' seafood? Then if you wanna make the Grilled Salmon in the Backrooms, you'll need to travel to Level 585 to go and fish a salmon. You will also need a grill too. The salmon in the Backrooms is a bit different, eating it plain by grilling immediately, will cause it to taste very bland and bitter. But if you boil it in Almond Water, let it cool, then grill it, it will taste better, I recommend you to add few drops of honey, a cut-up knob of garlic and a splash of lemon juice before grilling. After waiting for 10-15 minutes, while grilling it perfectly, Ta-da! You have yourself grilled backrooms salmon, which will nourish you very well. Since it contains Almond Water, it will restore your sanity, and have a salty-sour-sweet taste.

Anethikas Calamari

Bring a rifle, and prepare a lot of Crimson Oil if you're going to deep fry.

Wander around Level 3 until you hear one, then wait for it to draw it's tentacles out of it's body and run towards you. Then, chant the Heart Sūtra while raising your rifle. They'll start running away, and you can shoot them. Cut off their tentacles, and either deep fry them or pressure fry them. Use lots of Crimson Oil.

Exotic food

Sour Roasted Deathmoth

Kill a Deathmoth

It is recommended to kill male Deathmoths because female ones have acid and are hostile, while male ones aren't.

Mash the meat with something heavy, and shape it into a rectangle, or divide it to many little pieces. Put it in a tray and roast it at 150 celcius for 15 minutes. After it has been roasted, squeeze a lemon, add vegetables, add salt and pepper, and some sauce for maximum deliciousness.

If you use female ones do the same but remove the acid first. (also the fandom doesn't accept jfif images so no pictures)

Spider on a stick

If you are in Level 8 and can't find any food or you just want to eat something exotic, you can try The Spider on a stick

Spider on a stick

It is recommended to only use male only because female ones might be too strong to handle or it may not fit on the stick.

To start with, collect a bunch of male spiders and cut off their teeth with a knife to get rid of the poison. Then find a wooden stick and put the spiders on it. Then create a fire and put the sticks on it. It is recommended to cook the spiders for 10-15 minutes because cooking them more or less than 10-15 minutes can potentially make the spiders poisonous to the remaining liquids inside of their bodies. Then you can start eating the spiders. Almond water and Cashew Water can be used as sauces to make it more delicious.

Fried Death Rat Tails

Fried Death Rat Tails. They're a billion times better than they look.

Do you miss French Fries? Do you want something quick to share with your friends? Then Fried Death Rat Tails are just what you need!
It is not recommended to kill aggressive Death Rats. Clean the Death Rats properly, then cut the tails off with your knife. Place the tails in your frier for 20 minutes at 365 °F. After that you can put them on a plate and use every sauce you want. You've got your French Fries substitute!

A FEW NOTES:

If you're making a meaty dish up there, don't cut the meat early or else the juices will run out and it will be as dry as a paper towel left unsoaked for 3 months, let it rest for a while.

Desserts

Almond water ice cream

(making this in a level fully furnished is better, like Level 11)

Get a bottle of Almond Water and some milk. Pour milk, then Almond Water in a cup or anything that can contain water. Put a stick in the container, and put it in a freezer for 50 minutes, like I said, Level 11 has furnished things. You can add anything you want, or maybe get some toppings.

Flavored almond water ice cream

First off, get a bottle of almond water, pour milk in it, then put vanilla or something else in it, then put it in a freezer for 50 minutes, and get some toppings if you want. You can make any kind of ice cream, so just do what you want with the type and the flavor.

Poker Cookie

WARNING: This recipe may kill you while attempting to get the ingredients.

First off, take a poker chip off of a gambler then, crush the chip until it's too small to be inedible, then put it in cookie dough, then mix, and bake it at whatever temperature you would like for whatever amount of time. Once it's done, you will have a cookie with yellow, red, blue, or green glitter all over your cookie.

Fried death rat tail rugelach

take twenty croissant buns and divide them into 3-4 pieces each. then, take a bowl halfway filled with fried death rat tails, then add the second half with almond water. cover it up and let it rest for 1 minute. once done, add some flour and begin kneading it into dough. place chunks of the dough in between the croissant slices. then stick them together. do this for every bun, then put it on a platter and let it bake for 3 hours.

you can put some frosting on each one of the buns. then, they're ready to serve.
