Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Right up there with The Joy of Cooking!, February 4, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Cooking With Friends (Hardcover)

I originally bought this book for a couple of MY Friends due to our Thursday night ritual of watching the show, etc....

But this cook book has turned out to have great recipies as well!

I have loved EVERY recipe I have tried...pretty fail safe!
They are staples of my weekly meal preparation for my family now!

Nora's Kung Pao Chicken - easy and yummy (better than take out!)

Phoebe's Fabulous Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies (they really aren't fair to other cookies! - if you remember that episode!)

Iced Mocha Latte (who needs Starbucks!)

Adult Only Macoroni & Cheese (only if you don't want to share with your kids!)

Hope this helps get you interested....the recipes are really great and easy to follow too!
I have bought the book for many of my Friends now & now after reading more reviews want to try some more recipes!

This cookbook is awesome! It's a must-have for Friends afficionados. It has everything from Monica's sophisticated tastes to Joey's simple, delicious dishes. Plus, it is filled with quotes, pictures, and clever definitions and discussion pages. The recipies are great and the presentation of the book is just plain fun. Whether you are accustomed to cooking lox, linguini and lobster or not, this book has something for everyone.

This review is from: Cooking With Friends (Hardcover)

I love FRIENDS, the famous TV show, so I had to buy this book even if I am not very much into cooking.

And I loved it! The recipes are well written, the pictures help too. They will remind you of your favorite characters in the show, what they eat, how they make it, how they serve it. It's just an amazing book! I really started to love cooking.

A must have book for all FRIENDS funs!
