Just in time for the highly anticipated return of "Gilmore Girls" next month, a fangirl has written a cookbook inspired by the caffeinated, fast-food, deep-fried-loving tastebuds of one of TV's most beloved mother-daughter duos.
Fans of the show will undoubtedly have cleared November 25 on their calendars to watch the first of four episodes debuting on Netflix.
But with "Eat Like a Gilmore: The Unofficial Cookbook for Fans of Gilmore Girls," written by Kristi Carlson, the ultimate fans can make a night of the debut with a spread that includes dishes from Luke's Diner, Sookie's culinary repertoire at the inn, Emily's fancy Friday Night Dinners and other favorites from Stars Hollow.
Fans will recognize, for instance, Sookie's macaroni and cheese in jalapeno-chipotle cream sauce from season 4, when Sookie and Lorelai catered a kids' birthday party with very different ideas.
The revival of the show, which attracted a cult following over its seven-season run, has generated no small amount of attention.
To mark the show's 16th anniversary earlier this month, Netflix converted 200 coffee shops across the US into Luke's Diner pop-ups, with a special appearance by Luke himself (Scott Patterson) at the Los Angeles location.
The cookbook features more than 100 recipes that cover appetizers, cocktails, entrees and desserts such as salmon puffs, pumpkin pancakes, rocky road cookies and Rory's Birthday Girl Cocktail.
Chapters include breakfast foods like pancakes, French toast and omelettes, muffins and rolls, cookies, pasta, burgers and sandwiches.
The book is published by Skyhorse Publishing and hits bookshelves October 25.
