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.
