Review By Veronica
Gilmore Girls: The Official Cookbook is a must-have for any fans of the Gilmore Girls series.
Goodreads Synopsis:
Gilmore Girls: The Official Cookbook features dishes from every corner of Stars Hollow and beyond, including the Dragonfly Inn, Weston’s Bakery, Al’s Pancake World, Luke’s Diner, and Emily and Richard’s dinner table. Fans will delight in recreating iconic dishes from the beloved series, such as Sookie’s Risotto, Mrs. Kim’s Flaxseed Muffins, Luke’s Cheeseburger and Fries, and, of course, the perfect cup of coffee! This official cookbook also includes clever cooking tips from Sookie, hosting tips from Michel, etiquette tips from Emily Gilmore, and the wisdom from Lorelai and Rory for cooking fast and talking faster.
Let’s just say I was super happy on Christmas morning when I unwrapped one of my presents and realized I got this book from Santa. I adore Gilmore Girls. I watched the series faithfully as a teenager and love re-watching it as an adult. So, you can imagine how excited I was when I saw that there was a Gilmore Girls cookbook coming out. Any fan of the show will know how important food talk is in this series. This book is everything I could have hoped for.
When you first open up the book, you get to step back into the world of Stars Hollow. The first few pages are filled with fun facts about the show and the characters. Reading these pages made it feel like I was catching up with old friends. It had me itching to sit down and start watching the show again.
If you are a foodie like I am, then you are going to love the wide variety of recipes in this book. The pictures make everything look delicious, and the recipes are easy to follow. This cookbook can be used by anyone, no matter your skill level with cooking. You have your sweet, simple burger or pancake recipes from Luke’s Diner. Or you have your complex pastry or cake recipes created by Sookie. This book is special because each recipe has a small paragraph or dialogue excerpt that connects that particular dish or drink to the show. Just flipping through the pages of this book is like revisiting some of my favourite scenes from the show.
Gilmore Girls The Official Cookbook is a fun and delicious treat that I would highly recommend you add to your cookbook collection.
