- "Nearly every recipe in my last collection was inspired by the Wookiee holiday Life Day. So, it'd be fair to assume that I've already cooked all the most excitin' dishes from their home planet Kashyyyk. Accordin' to an annoyed Wookiee I encountered there, though, I apparently missed an important one."
- ―Strono Tuggs, The Ultimate Cookbook
A Wookiee was part of a clan that made the dish known as rillrrnnn spears, which he believed baked into a perfect single bite.[1] After publishing his first cookbook[2] in 34 ABY,[3] the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs created a second cookbook, The Life Day Cookbook,[2] focused on the Wookiee festival of Life Day, but failed to include a recipe for rillrrnnn spears.[1]
This annoyed the Wookiee, who approached Tuggs on the Wookiee homeworld, Kashyyyk, while the chef was there as part of a culinary tour of the galaxy that he took[1] between 34 ABY and 35 ABY.[4] The Wookiee then used a vocoder to tell Tuggs that he had missed the important dish and explain how it was made. Tuggs subsequently included a recipe for the spears, as well as a mention of the Wookiee, in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which he published[1] in 35 ABY.[4]
Behind the scenes
The Wookiee was mentioned in the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak.[1]

- ↑ 4.0 4.1 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook establishes that the publishing of the in-universe The Ultimate Cookbook and the culinary tour that preceded it occurred following the publishing of The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook and prior to the destruction of Kijimi. It also establishes that The Ultimate Cookbook was published following the Festival of the Ancestors that occurred during that time period. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook further establishes that The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook was published concurrently with the First Order's search for the Resistance base on Batuu, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. In addition, Timelines dates the Festival of the Ancestors and the destruction of Kijimi to 35 ABY, meaning the tour must have taken place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY and The Ultimate Cookbook must have been published in 35 ABY.
