Fan of [_Star Wars_](http://time.com/4171394/star-wars-force-awakens-records/)? Then you’re going to wish you had this [cookbook](http://time.com/4065067/kelis-cookbook-food-interview/) creator as your Secret Santa. Imgur user dani847661 wrote out a homemade, _Star Wars_ [themed cookbook](http://imgur.com/gallery/8k7ie) for the gift-giving game this year, and it is jam-packed with amazing puns from the galaxy far, far away. The book contains recipes for dishes such as “Boba Feta and Red Pepper Dip,” “Jabba the Hummus” and “Obi Wan Chipotle,” and is called _Star Wars:_ _A Wookie Cookie Bookie_. **Read More:** [Here Are the 91 Characters Who’ve Died in _Star Wars_](http://time.com/4112165/every-star-wars-death/) The book isn’t directly based off of 1988’s _The Star Wars Cook Book: Wookiee Cookies and Other Galactic Recipes —_ despite their similar titles — according to the Imgur user. “I saw that cookbook but didn’t have enough time to order \[it\] before sending the gift so I improvised, home made \[sic\] is better anyway,” dani847661 wrote on the picture sharing site.
