The Forager Brood Cookbooks in Shadow of the Erdtree are recipes for crafting unique items in Elden Ring's expansion. They're one of several different types of new Cookbooks you can find in Shadow of the Erdtree, and focus on the crafting techniques left behind by the eponymous insectoid Forager Brood.

We're still in the process of tracking down all the Forager Brood Cookbook locations, as well as how many there are in total. We'll be updating this guide with more information as soon as we have it, but for now, here are all the Forager Brood Cookbook locations in Shadow of the Erdtree we've found so far, and what items you'll be able to craft with them.
