About this title

Synopsis

Cooking with Friends invites you to bring "Friends" from your living room into your kitchen. Even if you and your friends don't hang out at a neighborhood coffee house, Cooking with Friends will inspire you with hundreds of excellent culinary ideas for practically every occasion in your life. There are comfort foods for when "it hasn't been your day, your week, you month, or even your year" - perfect food for imperfect times. Blown a job interview? Enjoy garlic infused Stay at Home Pasta. Haven't had a decent date in who knows how long? East a slice of Misery Meatloaf. Sent your monkey to live in a zoo? Savor Marcel's Splits with Rum-Toffee Sauce in his memory. And when you've thrown all caution to the wind and let your friend give you a really bad haircut, bit into some Italian Almond Biscotti. And for those times when things are going your way, you can sample enticing Vegetarian Delights, follow complete menus from Festive and Holiday Selections, and sip on gourmet coffee drinks found in Central Perk. along with the book's lighter side, you will also uncover some practical advice for brewing coffee, stocking your pantry, and using a pizza stone. Combine the camaraderie and wit of the hit television series "Friends" with contemporary cuisine and familiar favorites, Cooking with Friends serves up good food and good fun, from appetizers to deserts, accompanied by a generous serving of Friends dialogue and photos.

Review

There are a lot of laughs and a lot of photos in this retrospective of the food served on the hit TV show "Friends". Oh yeah -- and plenty of great recipes, both comforting (like Mashed Potatoes for the Broken-Hearted, Rachel's Soothing Chicken Soup, Oatmeal in the Buff) and adventurous (like Potato Casserole with Spinach, Mushrooms and Gruyere, Chandler's "Could THIS Be Any More Fattening?" Cheesecake, and Peaches Poached in Red Wine with Lemon and Fennel). The next best thing to hanging out in Monica's kitchen or at the Central Perk!
