Binging with Babish is creating dishes inspired by the video game The Sims, sponsored by the new Cottage Living expansion pack.
The video begins with making the "world's easiest mac and cheese recipe" from the game, using whole milk, water, elbow macaroni, American cheese, and cheddar. To make it look like the game version, the mac and cheese is molded into a domed orange-yellow blob.
Next, a more complex version of mac and cheese is made, involving a crispy exterior and molten lava cake interior.
The video then moves on to making Eggplant Parmesan or Aubergine Parmigiana, a dish available in the new Cottage Living expansion pack. This involves slicing and salting eggplant, making a marinara sauce, and assembling the casserole with cheese and breadcrumbs.
Finally, the video attempts to make Baked Alaska, a challenging dish to prepare in the game, requiring a cooking level of 10. This involves making a Napoleon ice cream cake, an Italian meringue, and toasting the meringue with a culinary torch.
The video ends with a promotional message for the Cottage Living expansion pack, available July 22nd, which includes new recipes and challenges for Sims players.
