An official Friends cookbook was announced
Monica may be a legit chef, but she and the gang have still made some pretty questionable choices in the kitchen: from Mockolate Mousse to not-quite-vegetarian pâté to of course, the infamous English trifle. Now, some of those meals have actually made their way into a cookbook inspired by the show. Titled Friends: The Official Cookbook, the book features over 70 recipes including Just for Joey Fries, Phoebe’s Grandmother’s Cookies and The Moist Maker. Written by chef Amanda Lee and described as a “fun homage to the show that’s always been there for you,” each page includes a recipe from Friends along with details about its backstory on the show. The book is slated for a September 2020 release.
