Okay kids, here's a cookbook that is something of a blast from the past. Think yourself back to 1995, when everyone wanted Rachel's haircut and hoped against hope that Joey would someday say to them, "How you doin'?" That's right, today I'm featuring the classic, Cooking with Friends. Mid-nineties kitsch aside, it's actually something of a serviceable cookbook, if you can believe it. The recipe names are sort of cheesy, with dishes ranging from "Call-Back Spaghetti and Meatballs" to "Fire Escape Flank Steak." But the ingredient lists are reliable and the instructions are clearly written and easy to follow. I wouldn't necessarily recommend heading out and buying yourself a copy of this book if you don't already have it. However, for those of you who have his one tucked into the far corner of your cookbook shelf, pull it out, dust it off and whip up a batch of "Phoebe's Fabulous Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies."

That is hilarious. It's amusing to look back and remember just how crazy the whole "Friends" phenomenon was in the 90's.
Are recipes for Ross's Monkey Bread and Smelly Cat Stroganoff included too? ;)

They darn well better have Monica's Leftover Turkey Sandwich with the patented Moistmaker. I love Friends.
