Step onto the ice and into the world of hockey romance, where you'll cook comforting dishes inspired by rivalry, devotion, and the joy of chosen family.

Inspired by the smash-hit hockey romance series that took BookTok, streaming, and fandom culture by storm, The Unofficial Heated Rivalry Cookbook brings fans into the kitchen with comforting, crowd-pleasing recipes inspired by iconic characters, settings, and themes. Inside, you'll find:

  • 65+ original recipes inspired by the books and television adaptation (including a certain blueberry smoothie and tuna melt)
  • Bespoke illustrations evoking key situations and vibes
  • A fan-celebration tone centered on warmth, humour, inclusivity, and heart

This fully illustrated, fan-forward, unofficial cookbook celebrates the emotional heart of the storyβ€”found family, vulnerability, and joyβ€”through food that feels warm, familiar, and made to be shared. From cosy cottage dishes and late-night comfort meals to game-day favourites and celebratory treats, each recipe channels the spirit of the series, accompanied by suggestive illustrations worthy of hockey romance fandom.

Designed for both devoted fans and casual home cooks, this cookbook is welcoming, inclusive, and entirely suitable for watch parties or everyday cooking (with a wink).

Whether you're cooking for a full crowd or just yourself after a long day, this cookbook turns fandom love into something deliciously real.
