Gilmore Girls Cookbook

Product Information

Aghhh! Those endpapers! I love them. In fact they would make a great phone case or even fabric (I see an apron!). 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. Sure, a Harvard sweatshirt might be right for the earlier season, but true fans know that the correct answer for where Rory will go to college is Yale. Go bulldogs. Now, this is a true recipe book. The recipes are based on the show. Sure you’d be fine with the cookbook even if you never watched the show, as long as you eat like a Gilmore, or a Sookie, or a Mrs. Kim.

RECIPES FOR EVERY OCCASION: Whip up delicious dishes for everything from a mother-daughter brunch to a family dinner to a celebration for the whole town! Un volume con foto che vi faranno davvero venire l’acquolina in bocca, con precise spiegazioni su come cucinare i piatti raffigurati. Ma la cucina non mette da parte la serie con protagoniste le ragazze Gilmore, presentando anche immagini della serie e alcune citazioni. Veniamo così nuovamente portati in quei luoghi familiari e confortevoli che hanno emozionato tanti spettatori, e con questo goloso volume potranno rivivere quelle atmosfere care e divertenti. Make roll #2: On the remaining 27 4-inch pieces, place 1 Butterfinger Bite, 1 Jujube, 2 chocolate chips, and 1 Junior Mint. Roll each one, beginning at the marshmallow side. Place rolls on a plate. Serve. For the grand finale of my “eating like a Gilmore Girl” experiment, I had decided to make not just a Luke’s Diner burger, but the famous Luke’s Diner Santa Burger (pg. 25). This particular burger has a brief but stunning cameo in season one, episode ten, the first of what could be thought of as the Gilmore Girls Christmas episodes. Prepare buns and garnish: On two separate plates, arrange a sesame-seed bun, open, on each. Beside each bun, arrange garnish. Set aside.I’m definitely not the cook in this family. So why on earth am I reading and reviewing a cookbook? Well, because it’s GILMORE GIRLS, of course!

If you have been watching the show, you immediately know why there would be a cookbook based on the series. If you have not, you would be asking that very question. Food plays a big part in the show, and many of the scenes with the two main characters and others are centered around meals, either a burger at Luke’s Diner or a sit-down meal at their elder families' dinner table on Fridays. TIPS FROM SOOKIE: Recreate iconic dishes from Gilmore Girls with tips from Chef Sookie! Where easy-to-follow step-by-step directions lead, you can follow. Lorelai and Rory were often mistaken for sisters, and not just because Lorelai was 16 when she had her daughter. Lorelai’s comfy but chic style is the stuff of mom goals everywhere, so it’s no wonder that Rory sometimes raided her closet. Invoke her fall style as you too wait for the first big snowfall with an oversized knit sweater that easily transitions into the winter season with the addition of a scarf and boots. Later that week, I met with a midwife and I liked her immediately. We started to share our news with friends and family and I began to feel their happiness on our behalf reflected in my own heart. I felt like I could finally breathe a little bit.

The One with All the Recipes: An Unofficial Cookbook for Fans of Friends

Mix salmon filling: In a food processor, add salmon, dill, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Process until a coarse paste forms. Add mustard and cheese. Process until the mixture is smooth. Set aside. Watching the show, I had always thought of myself as a Rory: bookish, ambitious, maybe a little self-absorbed. All of a sudden, I’d Freaky Friday-ed into Lorelai; still a little self-absorbed, but now I needed to be the grown-up in the room—even if, most days, I still feel entirely like a teenager. Would Lorelai have survived so many Friday night dinners without her go-to drink, a gin martini? Despite Emily (Kelly Bishop) and her best efforts to derail her daughter with a Sidecar, we’ve lost count of how many of these drinks Lorelai had to sip on over the years while putting up with her parents’ shenanigans. If you’ve got some time on your hands, why not concoct your own gin with a craft brewing kit. You can call it “Dragonfly Gin,” or some other punny, Gilmore-worthy name. Gilmore fans will also be disappointed by the absence of excessive “Gilmore Girls” photos, tidbits and bonuses but this is a cookbook, after all, and not a behind-the-scenes tome concerning the series. Make roll #1: On 27 of the 4-inch pieces, sideways across the marshmallow, place 3 pieces of licorice, cut to size, and 2 Tootsie Rolls. Roll each one, beginning at the marshmallow side. Trim any excess licorice. Place rolls on a plate. Set aside.

Mention the early 2000s Amy Sherman-Palladino episodic series “Gilmore Girls” and most every woman in their late 30s/early 40s will brighten with glee. This demographic is still binge viewing the show for the 800th time even 20 years later. It’s me. I’m one of these women. I was/am utterly obsessed with “Gilmore Girls” and was living a parallel life with the character of bookish Rory as I was the exact age as Alexis Bledel’s on-screen teenager during the show’s airing. Flash forward 20 years and I have now surpassed her mother, Lorelai, in age (head trip!) played by Lauren Graham. One of the reoccurring themes of the spit-fire, fast-talking show set in fictional Stars Hollow, Connecticut is: food. From junk food eating Rory and Lorelai, Luke’s Diner, Friday night dinners with Richard and Emily and everything in between; the Gilmores loved to eat! Fans can take a food journey with GG in, “Gilmore Girls: The Official Cookbook” collaborated by Elena P. Craig and Kristen Mulrooney.

Table of Contents

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.

The book also includes some rather popular quotes from the show sprinkled throughout. They are of course food related. There is this gem: “This is a jumbo coffee morning. I need coffee in an i.v.”.FILLED WITH PHOTOS: Includes gorgeous full-color photos of recipes to help ensure success, as well as beloved moments from the series. Let’s be clear, I’m no teenager. I’m now several years older than Lorelai was in the first season of Gilmore Girls, but I still feel as though I’ve got a long way to go in terms of building a life with the same stability as hers. It’s a common refrain for millennials; we without pensions or houses of our own or hopes of retirement. There are very good reasons so many of us in the Rory generation are skipping having kids at all. Oy with the poodles already! The first official collection of recipes inspired by the world of the fast-talking Gilmore Girls. Cut dough: Lay out a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Use a shot glass (or any round cutter that is 2 inches in diameter) to cut 15 circles from the sheet. Dear reader, I’m not proud to say that my first reaction to this information was fear. Change is tough for me, and while this is happy news, it also represents such a massive change that I almost didn’t know how to process it. Though the circumstances were quite different, I found myself unmoored in much the same way I did in those days when Gilmore Girls first entered my life.
