In terms of references for the Fallout Show it seemed to have the least from Fallout 1 and 2 (2 more so) so it makes me happy to see this and the Water Chip as well as the Colt 10MM Pistol and the Well and obelisk from Shady Sands. Plus a nod to Tim Cain is always appreciated.

I think the mushroom cloud recipe is actually one of the desserts you can make from the fallout cookbook... not so sure about the desert salad.

Yes, both are included, but the recipes in the cookbook are different from Tim Cain's original.
