Speaker 1: I am all in.
Speaker 2: Oh it's you. I am all in with Scott Patterson,
Speaker 2: an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 3: Hoa, Susanna, Merry Christmas, you guys Christmas. So it's Christmas morning.
Speaker 3: It actually is early right now.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna I'm wearing my pajamas.
Speaker 5: I'm not.
Speaker 3: I had to set an alarm for seven forty five today. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so Scott is you know, Scott's been working around the clock.
Speaker 3: He's like literally just finishing. He's getting back to his family.
Speaker 3: So we did give him Christmas off. But the girls
Speaker 3: and I got together for kind of a fun Christmas
Speaker 3: Day Gilmore Girls celebration. It's sort of perfect for Christmas
Speaker 3: Day and Kristen are going to join us. Who wrote
Speaker 3: the Gilmore Girls the official cookbook, so they're going to
Speaker 3: tell us all about the recipes. What's perfect to make
Speaker 3: today on Christmas? Hopefully an easy one. So Tara and Susanne,
Speaker 3: are you guys good cooks?
Speaker 4: I'm not bad. I can cook. I definitely always need
Speaker 4: a recipe. I can't go off the cuss, but I
Speaker 4: can make. I can make good food.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, like what really? I'm actually so I.
Speaker 4: Actually for a long time I did when I was
Speaker 4: living alone because I didn't know how to cook. I
Speaker 4: did Hello Fresh, which is a sponsor by the way.
Speaker 3: And you used it before I was even a sponsor.
Speaker 3: So yeah, genuinely endorsing Hello Fresh.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: This was like four years ago when I was living alone.
Speaker 4: I didn't know how to cook, and I was like, well,
Speaker 4: it gives you the items and the recipe, so why not.
Speaker 4: And so I actually need to order the Kilmore Girls
Speaker 4: Official Cookbook because now I want to make it.
Speaker 3: I did. It's good. Wait, Susanna, can you cook?
Speaker 1: I I am not really a cook. I don't enjoy it,
Speaker 1: and so I never really like learned how to do it.
Speaker 1: I can I can, you know, brown some ground beef
Speaker 1: and you know, basic things like that, But I'm not
Speaker 1: really a cook. My husband likes to cook, so he
Speaker 1: does the cook Oh he does it.
Speaker 3: Oh that's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I had a phase there where I was like, I'm
Speaker 3: going to learn to cook, and then I like six
Speaker 3: months into it, was like, I don't I hate this.
Speaker 4: The worst part is cleaning the dishes. That's the worst part.
Speaker 4: Like the process is great, but like.
Speaker 3: That's not the worst part for me. The worst part
Speaker 3: for me is doing the whole thing and realizing it
Speaker 3: tastes gross. I'm like, oh my god, I literally just
Speaker 3: did all this and I don't like it.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a bummer.
Speaker 1: I just to me, I always am focused on how
Speaker 1: much time I'm spending, like you spend for me. It
Speaker 1: takes I don't know, an hour two hours to cook
Speaker 1: something basic for ten then you eat it in ten minutes, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then it's gone.
Speaker 3: So that's I think we all weren't meant to cook.
Speaker 3: Like I think we're all not meant to you know,
Speaker 3: b Taylor Swift. Some of us have skills, some of
Speaker 3: us don't. And I don't have that skill. But for
Speaker 3: those of you that do, the Gilmore Girls cookbook is legit,
Speaker 3: like it's this is the official cookbook, and Elena and
Speaker 3: Kristin wrote it and we'll explain how they did it together.
Speaker 4: But yeah, the burger on the front cover looks amazing.
Speaker 1: This makes me want to try cooking again because the pictures.
Speaker 3: It kind of agree and the whole Gilmore Girls of it,
Speaker 3: and like, definitely we can pull off what Rory and
Speaker 3: Laura cook. Yeah, for sure. So we've talked to one
Speaker 3: of you before, right, who did we talk to before
Speaker 3: me Kristin. So Elena and Kristin are here and they
Speaker 3: wrote a book that many of you have Gilmore Girls,
Speaker 3: the Official Cookbook. So we were so happy to have you. Guys.
Speaker 3: We have so much to talk about. One is that
Speaker 3: you both will be at our I Am All In
Speaker 3: Live event at the iHeartRadio Theater January seventeenth for a
Speaker 3: really cool segment with Scott So First, Hi, guys, tell
Speaker 3: everybody a little bit about what each of you do
Speaker 3: and how you came together for the official cookbook for
Speaker 3: the Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 2: Well, I am a recipe developer and so I have
Speaker 2: written a few cookbooks and this is one of my
Speaker 2: favorites because it's a family affair. And I was approached
Speaker 2: by Inside Editions to write this cookbook and luckily partnered
Speaker 2: with Kristin, who did the amazing flavor text and I'll
Speaker 2: let her speak to that awesome part. But I developed
Speaker 2: the recipes for this book.
Speaker 5: And I'm Kristin. I am a humor writer. The book
Speaker 5: was already a plan a little bit before I jumped on,
Speaker 5: but I heard from the editor that they were looking
Speaker 5: for a writer to join in. I think it was
Speaker 5: described as a pop culture cookbook and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm interested, and then she told me it was Gilmore
Speaker 5: Girls and I was like, I am super interested, and
Speaker 5: she asked me to write I think it was a
Speaker 5: sample for the Santa Berger. She asked me to write, oh,
Speaker 5: we're going to talk about to and then they brought
Speaker 5: me on and that was really really exciting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and had so many fun ideas, like there's the
Speaker 2: whole relationship chart in the book, which is one of
Speaker 2: my favorite things. I love it. Yeah, I loved that edition.
Speaker 2: It's so cute. And it was really important to me
Speaker 2: to organize the book by the places that we know
Speaker 2: in stars Hollow and around it, rather than traditional appetizers, entrees, drinks. Right,
Speaker 2: that was really fun.
Speaker 3: So meaning the diner, the Dragonfly, do you have recipes
Speaker 3: from El's Pancake World in there?
Speaker 5: We do?
Speaker 2: We do. So we have Luke's Diner, we have the
Speaker 2: Dragonfly in we have sort of outside of Stars Hollow,
Speaker 2: which encompasses the Gilmour mansion and things that maybe happened
Speaker 2: at college. And then of course we have you know,
Speaker 2: Lorelei and Roy's house which has oh my gosh, we
Speaker 2: recipes in it.
Speaker 3: We were literally just talking about the pizza with the
Speaker 3: tater tots, so she got the frozen pizzas and then
Speaker 3: just dumps the tater tots, which seems gross but yet
Speaker 3: time efficient like it would work.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I had to tweak that a little bit.
Speaker 2: You really need to pre cook your tater tot's a
Speaker 2: skosh to get that christiness. But I love that line
Speaker 2: in that episode where Worri's like, well you're the one
Speaker 2: who wanted to cook.
Speaker 3: Oh, we love that when she says do you want
Speaker 3: the apple or the raspberry turnover? Yes? Yes, So we're
Speaker 3: both of you, Kristen. You first, we're both of you
Speaker 3: fans of the show before you found out you had
Speaker 3: this job and came together to write the cookbook.
Speaker 5: Yes, I was so it originally aired. I think I
Speaker 5: was in college when it originally aired, so I was
Speaker 5: watching it week to week back then, and then the
Speaker 5: Year in Life came out. It must have been after
Speaker 5: one of my babies was born, because I binged the
Speaker 5: entire series again before I watched that, So it must
Speaker 5: have been. I was up at night and just binge
Speaker 5: watched the whole series before I watched the four Year
Speaker 5: in a Life episodes. So yeah, I was a big
Speaker 5: fan before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was also a huge fan and watched
Speaker 2: it when it was actually airing, and then as my
Speaker 2: kiddo sort of came of age, I watched it all
Speaker 2: the way through with them, so so many hours on
Speaker 2: the sofa, just you know, laughing and also just so
Speaker 2: much emotional with the crying as they're sort of turning twelve, thirteen, fourteen.
Speaker 2: And then watched it all the way through again with
Speaker 2: them when I got contracted to do this book, because
Speaker 2: then I'm watching it with my notepad, you know, watching
Speaker 2: for every single food reference that could possibly be.
Speaker 5: Right right right right, Yes, this book was a great
Speaker 5: excuse to be able to watch some TV.
Speaker 2: Exactly I'm working, It's really I'm working. Yeah, And for
Speaker 2: this book, it was so hard to narrow it down.
Speaker 2: I mean I was going to say, write three Gilmore
Speaker 2: Girls cookbooks?
Speaker 3: Really, well, you should do another one to follow. So
Speaker 3: what what a cool thing to have happened in that
Speaker 3: It wasn't like the two of you created this concept,
Speaker 3: which would have been cool in and of itself, but
Speaker 3: someone actually came to you and said, can you do
Speaker 3: this for Gilmore Girls? Which I almost think would be
Speaker 3: such a like a treat of a job offer to
Speaker 3: get like, oh, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's a treat. It's a treat. I
Speaker 2: have written several books for inside editions, and I only
Speaker 2: take on franchises that I love, right because otherwise I'm
Speaker 2: going to be doing a disservice to the fans if
Speaker 2: I don't love it, if I don't know it inside
Speaker 2: and out, if it doesn't you know, if it hasn't
Speaker 2: held a place in my life, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: be able to find all those nuggets and all those
Speaker 2: Easter eggs and kind of make all those things come
Speaker 2: to life. So to get off this one was amazing,
Speaker 2: and it was and the perfect time where I had
Speaker 2: just recently rewatched it and then you know, got to
Speaker 2: watch it all over again. So yeah, it was great.
Speaker 3: And what about you, Kristen, And obviously what you do
Speaker 3: is sort of different than what Elena did for the book,
Speaker 3: and that you have to figure out how to turn
Speaker 3: the food into little stories and anecdotes, and you know it,
Speaker 3: it was a bit says.
Speaker 5: The show's so well written anyways, so it was easy
Speaker 5: to kind of take the scenarios and just kind of
Speaker 5: turn into something more about the food. And it's funny
Speaker 5: because when the book was announced, I know you shouldn't
Speaker 5: read the comments, but I always read the comments. You do,
Speaker 5: but so many people are like, what do you mean
Speaker 5: a Gilmore Girl's cookbook, Like they don't even know how
Speaker 5: to cook. And I thought that was really funny because
Speaker 5: when you watch the show, so much of it is
Speaker 5: about food totally, and one of the characters is a
Speaker 5: gourmet chef, and we have Luke Steiner, and there's just
Speaker 5: so many of the episodes are about food. So it
Speaker 5: was kind of surprised to hear that, but it was.
Speaker 5: It was really fun and I personally, I loved writing
Speaker 5: about the recipes that you know, you mentioned the pizza
Speaker 5: with the tater tots. I loved about the recipes that
Speaker 5: are about a food that they say on the show
Speaker 5: is disgusting because I loved how Alena twisted those recipes
Speaker 5: and wow, really good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are a couple that stand outs with? My kids?
Speaker 5: Love the mash banana on toast.
Speaker 3: Oh, really so good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really simple, it's easy for me and it's
Speaker 5: just really tasty. Lena added some vanilla and I think
Speaker 5: some cinnamon in there and some lime.
Speaker 3: I don't do the lime, to be.
Speaker 4: Honest, it was the worst pieced.
Speaker 3: For me.
Speaker 2: It was missus Kim's recipe.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, they're so difficult, and.
Speaker 2: Because my editor was like, I don't know what you're
Speaker 2: gonna do, Like how are you going to do this?
Speaker 2: We have to have them in there, but like extra
Speaker 2: chunky soy pudding, like what is that? Like what are
Speaker 2: we doing?
Speaker 3: Are they all vegan at the Kims? Is that your
Speaker 3: takeaway that? Or yes, she's definitely vegan.
Speaker 2: She's definitely vegan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so all the ahead of time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was totally ahead of her gune. All of
Speaker 2: those recipes are vegan. One of my absolute favorites and
Speaker 2: a huge cellar like everybody that I've ever given it
Speaker 2: to to try is the eggless egg salad.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, rights.
Speaker 2: And it just came together and it's got like an auditu.
Speaker 2: What I did was I toasted some chickpeas in some
Speaker 2: warming spices and actually some tumeric so that they got
Speaker 2: kind of yellow and then a very firm tofu and
Speaker 2: a lot of celery and green im like gosh, and
Speaker 2: actually doesn't decide are out a little bit of color
Speaker 2: and then the Aquaa ranch is kind of the binder
Speaker 2: instead of mayonnaise. Oh my god, that is in there
Speaker 2: for a crunch?
Speaker 3: Oh wow?
Speaker 4: Is that from the dance? Is that the sandwiches she
Speaker 4: passed out in the dance exactly?
Speaker 2: And the aqua faa ranch is like part of the
Speaker 2: salad and a bag recipe, so you get to kind
Speaker 2: of use it.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say. Also, there's such an iconic episode
Speaker 3: when they have to go to the like five thanksgivings.
Speaker 3: Do you address that in the book? Figuring out all
Speaker 3: those different turkeys and remember there was a fry. This
Speaker 3: might be for book two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we only gonna have to do remember
Speaker 2: Jackson the holiday edition.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3: That's actually a really good idea.
Speaker 2: And then we could do all of the all of
Speaker 2: the foods from like the Winter Festival edition.
Speaker 3: The thing that's really amazing about Gilmergold not only is
Speaker 3: there a lot of food, right, but it's the way
Speaker 3: the food is presented in the show, especially with Suki
Speaker 3: and at the Inn, both incarnations of the Inn. It's
Speaker 3: so beautifully displayed on camera, you know. And you talked
Speaker 3: about the Winter Festival or the carnivals or the sort
Speaker 3: of events of the town. The food is always just
Speaker 3: massive quantities and looks like some food stylist has spent
Speaker 3: one thousand hours preparing it because it's always just flawlessly done.
Speaker 2: The wedding cakes, I mean, the wedding cakes alone just
Speaker 2: so gorgeous. And I actually taught myself a new skill
Speaker 2: to do Suki's wedding cake. Yeah, I was trying to
Speaker 2: figure out how to make it an approachable recipe but
Speaker 2: also still make it really beautiful. Yeah, So I kind
Speaker 2: of taught myself that this palette knife technique with buttercream,
Speaker 2: which is very popular all over social media right now,
Speaker 2: and it's basically like using a palette knife like you
Speaker 2: would with oil paint, but to create textured flowers, often
Speaker 2: in buttercream. So I enjoyed doing.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it sounds at what's the easy for
Speaker 3: somebody like me and maybe Susannahatara as well, what's the
Speaker 3: easiest recipe, maybe other than the mashed bananas on TOAs,
Speaker 3: what's the easiest recipe that like a person who cannot
Speaker 3: cook can make. Maybe Santa Burger.
Speaker 2: The Santa Burger is a great one. I actually think
Speaker 2: that you would be surprised how much you would enjoy
Speaker 2: and love making the risotto with Skellos. It's actually it
Speaker 2: seems intimidating, but risotto is one of those dishes that,
Speaker 2: just with a little patience, you look so fancy at
Speaker 2: the end of the evening. And the reason it's one
Speaker 2: of my favorite things to cook is because you have
Speaker 2: to stand at the stove and drink your glass of wine.
Speaker 3: You can't be doing.
Speaker 2: Other things, so you know you've got to set somebody
Speaker 2: else to set the table and make the salad and
Speaker 2: fuss around. It's like I got to stay here with
Speaker 2: the result.
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you, Elena, is also how many
Speaker 3: hours and how much time you know, as the expert
Speaker 3: was put into the way the food looked on the show, Like,
Speaker 3: obviously that's someone's entire job, but that.
Speaker 2: Must have been several people's entire job. Wow, yeah, like
Speaker 2: many people's entire job.
Speaker 3: So, and you did the recipes for this, and I'm
Speaker 3: assuming they photographed your preparations.
Speaker 2: So I am a strange jumping between two hats, right,
Speaker 2: So I am a recipe developer, but I'm also a
Speaker 2: food stylist. I was actually a food stylist before I
Speaker 2: really started developing recipes professionally. So I work with a
Speaker 2: photographer who I've known for thirty plus years, and when
Speaker 2: it's one of my cookbooks, but also I do other
Speaker 2: styling for Insight as well and other clients. Yes, so
Speaker 2: I prepared all the food that is actually photographed in
Speaker 2: the book. And that's usually at least the second, if
Speaker 2: not the third time or the fourth time you made
Speaker 2: that dish, right, because I've tested it.
Speaker 3: And so how long for both of you was the
Speaker 3: process of writing this book? I would think that would
Speaker 3: take forever to make all those recipes.
Speaker 2: For me, for recipe development, they usually give me six
Speaker 2: weeks is comfortable? Sometimes weeks oh yeah, Sometimes they want
Speaker 2: to cram it a little tighter than that, but six
Speaker 2: weeks usually.
Speaker 4: And how many recipes are in the book?
Speaker 2: I think fifty?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then Kristen so like a you know, lyricist in
Speaker 3: their songwriter. So did Elena create all the recipes and
Speaker 3: the and then you came in and wrote sort of
Speaker 3: your stories and antidotes anecdotes about them or were you
Speaker 3: doing that simultaneously a little bit of both. Actually, I
Speaker 3: sort of got.
Speaker 5: Started because I had kind of the same time frame
Speaker 5: as her, So I got started before I had some
Speaker 5: of the recipes, because I knew I could sort of
Speaker 5: come up with a story in this way to introduce
Speaker 5: it without knowing the ingredients. But I think, I think,
Speaker 5: I remember, Lenny, you were sort of passing them along
Speaker 5: as you made them, so you would send them in bunches,
Speaker 5: so i'd get like an email with ten recipes in it,
Speaker 5: and then I could go through and see what I
Speaker 5: had already and then incorporate whatever ingredients I needed to
Speaker 5: mention in there.
Speaker 3: Some of them start with.
Speaker 2: An outline that has sort of the title of the
Speaker 2: recipe and a brief description of what it's going to be,
Speaker 2: so at least Kristin will know it's a Sanna Burger.
Speaker 2: She might not know yet that I've decided to make
Speaker 2: the hat out of Rent.
Speaker 5: Leak.
Speaker 2: She's got like a start. And I always feel so
Speaker 2: bad for the flavor text authors because I am I
Speaker 2: am always way behind them, right, you know, And so
Speaker 2: they're just like this fabulous recipe which will be flavored
Speaker 2: with blank and blank and blank, and then they just
Speaker 2: have to wait and fill that in because I'm never
Speaker 2: gonna be I'm never going to be as fast as them.
Speaker 2: They're cheating, they're at their kids' soccer games with the laptop.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, start're in the kitchen.
Speaker 5: Veway I have.
Speaker 3: We will end with my most important question, but first
Speaker 3: I would love to talk about the Sanna Burger. I
Speaker 3: always thought the Santa Berger was amazing. It just looked
Speaker 3: a little mayonnaisy, and I love mayonnaise, but it was
Speaker 3: very because of Santa's beard. Obviously, it just looked so mayonnaisy.
Speaker 3: How did you sort of navigate that?
Speaker 2: So I believe in the show he actually says that
Speaker 2: it's all catchup and cream cheese. I believe that is
Speaker 2: an exact route. So I wanted to elevate it a
Speaker 2: little bit because you know, come on, if the character
Speaker 2: Luke had had the time with his health consciousness to
Speaker 2: really prepare Santa Berger, he wouldn't have done it on
Speaker 2: the fly. He would have done it more amazing. So
Speaker 2: the hat is roasted red bell pepper, and the beard
Speaker 2: and the pomp palm and all that is actually a
Speaker 2: combination of like a cream cheese and a shredded cheese
Speaker 2: to sort of like make it the cheese on your burger.
Speaker 3: Okay, sure, knit up a little bit.
Speaker 2: But it's still quite an investment to eat.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I asked you a question about the Santa Burger. Yes,
Speaker 5: because I was looking through before we started. I was
Speaker 5: looking through all the pictures because I think they're so pretty.
Speaker 5: Your Santa Burger is beard is very fluffy. Did you
Speaker 5: use that technique from the wedding cake to fluff up
Speaker 5: his beard?
Speaker 2: Oh, Kristen, we did kind of like you did almost
Speaker 2: the palette knife technique. Yeah, I just kind of really,
Speaker 2: you know, swoop it on there. But it's because it
Speaker 2: has that shredded cheese in it that gives it a
Speaker 2: lot of fun like beard texture. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Some of the I'm not gonna lie, guys, let's let's
Speaker 3: all huddle up. Some of these foods they eat will
Speaker 3: give you diarrhea, like.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe some of them need to be sheer, right, like.
Speaker 3: Right, maybe a bite, maybe to be a bite like.
Speaker 2: Maybe if you have friends, have a Sanna Burger.
Speaker 3: Suki her recipes, no problem, Yeah, those are gonna go.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: Some of the things the Gilmore girls.
Speaker 2: Eat, yeah, will give you just one combination, not a platter,
Speaker 2: and don't make the whole recipe of edible raw cookie.
Speaker 5: Dough fine though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the restaurant I don't want to visit in Starsollow
Speaker 3: is Al's Pancakes.
Speaker 4: Oh see, I'm so fascinated.
Speaker 2: Well, so what we did was wet because you know,
Speaker 2: you got to be careful with that one, right, because
Speaker 2: you're making something but that's supposed to be gross. But
Speaker 2: then we want people to make it so right, I
Speaker 2: see shrimp there because we we decided that what was
Speaker 2: making people not feel particularly well was the heat level.
Speaker 2: Oh that was the twist. Not bad shrimp, just a
Speaker 2: little for some people. Oh interesting, because I mean how
Speaker 2: else can I spin it?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I feel like Westerns is ross. I feel like Weston's
Speaker 3: seems low risk. Like everything from Weston's seems already. He's
Speaker 3: just a croissant and like, yeah, like a cake, a cupcake,
Speaker 3: just yeah pretty. And I do think Suki's cooking is amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I do also like when Luke and Suki kind of
Speaker 3: go at it with each other.
Speaker 2: And I like when Luke and Suki finally get in
Speaker 2: a rhythm because there's been the fire and they're working
Speaker 2: in the gus together and that is beautiful. Yes, And
Speaker 2: I also love how they brought Caesar up, you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: started to really develop. One of the critiques that I
Speaker 2: got online talking about reading things you shouldn't be reading online.
Speaker 2: If somebody online was like did this person even watch
Speaker 2: the show? Who the heck is Rosa? I was like,
Speaker 2: excuse me, did you even watch the show? Because that's
Speaker 2: Strudle is amazing. Let me just say and lamp, Oh
Speaker 2: my god.
Speaker 3: Yes the lamb.
Speaker 4: Do you have a Do you have a favorite recipe
Speaker 4: from Emily and Richard's Friday Night dinner?
Speaker 3: Oh? Good one.
Speaker 2: Well, I do love the Parker rolls because I'm a
Speaker 2: sucker for carbs, and I really love the the caramel
Speaker 2: apple Christmas tarts. I really felt that Emily would not
Speaker 2: be serving like a whole anything large, you know, it
Speaker 2: would all be pasted. So it's a miniature chart that's
Speaker 2: very caramelizing and it kind of looks like a rose,
Speaker 2: and it just felt really fussy. Yeah, things to go
Speaker 2: great together, beautiful.
Speaker 3: This is for everybody on this.
Speaker 5: Show.
Speaker 3: If you were going to go to one place and
Speaker 3: stars hollow, really Elena and Kristen, both of you. You
Speaker 3: can go to the Dragonfly, you can go to the
Speaker 3: Gilmore for dinner. You can go to the Dinery and
Speaker 3: go to Al's Pancakeering, but only one where would both
Speaker 3: of you go or your.
Speaker 2: First hands down, I would go to the diner because
Speaker 2: not only is it just like so much of the
Speaker 2: heart of the show, but it's it's the central. You
Speaker 2: could just sit there and watch the entire town happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kristen, what about you?
Speaker 5: I like the vibe of the dragon Fly in agree.
Speaker 5: I agree with you got to go to Luke's, but
Speaker 5: I want to see the dragon Fly in and see
Speaker 5: what they have.
Speaker 3: Scott. It's lucky Scott isn't here right now, because I
Speaker 3: think he would be very offended by me saying this.
Speaker 3: But I think the Suki's food at the Dragonfly. I
Speaker 3: think that's one of those places where you go and
Speaker 3: you're like, that was a ten out of ten meal. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like that was delicious.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The diners, you know, you can it's good. You good,
Speaker 3: more regular, you know, you're hitting that every day or
Speaker 3: every other day.
Speaker 1: But I feel like the Diner is more lunch and
Speaker 1: the Dragonfly is more dinner.
Speaker 2: There you Yeah, I think I just want to sit
Speaker 2: in the diner and just look out the window all day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what I heard.
Speaker 3: Now if you we're going so as we end this
Speaker 3: for the holidays, because people are listening and they've got
Speaker 3: the book, and if you don't have the book, we
Speaker 3: actually feel and we need to talk about the live show.
Speaker 3: This book, we said is the perfect holiday gift, and
Speaker 3: what we thought people should do is get the book,
Speaker 3: put the tickets to the live show in the book,
Speaker 3: wrap it up under the tree, Hanukah, New Year's presence,
Speaker 3: whatever you're celebrating, amazing gift.

Speaker 3: to grab the book right now and make something for
Speaker 3: the holidays, what is the go to? What? And we

Speaker 3: Oh can you remember when that? When they When was that?
Speaker 3: What about?
Speaker 5: It was when Lorlai and Suki started their catering business.
Speaker 2: Oh?

Speaker 5: party level.
Speaker 3: That's the Lord of the Rings party. Yeah. Yesally just
Speaker 3: came back to me. Remember she was like louralizes like

Speaker 2: And cheese?
Speaker 3: It's great fancy stuff making the fancy stuff for those kids.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you guys were so excited to see
Speaker 3: you in person. And I do have the book and
Speaker 3: it is a It really is, even if I'm not
Speaker 3: a cook, but I love having the book as a
Speaker 3: Gilmore Girls fan, like just all the memories that come
Speaker 3: up when you're when you're reading through the book. I
Speaker 3: need some professional like Elena helped me. Okay, it's a challenge.
Speaker 2: I challenge all of you before I see you in January.
Speaker 2: I just make besides the banana toast and make one
Speaker 2: thing from the book, surprise yourself. And if I didn't
Speaker 2: make it easy enough, that's what I need to know.
Speaker 3: Well, No, And as a chef, do you think like
Speaker 3: you should do it where? So you know how on
Speaker 3: television I'm sure you know, like it's all measured out
Speaker 3: right and they're just making it so easy. Do you
Speaker 3: recommend doing that?
Speaker 2: Like there's actually that's actually an official thing.
Speaker 3: What's it called.
Speaker 2: It's called Meissan plas. It's a French missan plas for
Speaker 2: everything in its place, okay, where everything is pre measured
Speaker 2: and precut. And yes, if you take that step, it
Speaker 2: makes cooking so much easier. Even just reading through the
Speaker 2: entire recipe when you're not in your kitchen, like sit
Speaker 2: on yourself and we're at your desk, read through the
Speaker 2: entire recipe first without touching anything, and then start. Even
Speaker 2: that makes a massive, massive difference.
Speaker 3: Okay, Kristen, can you cook? Can you cook? Just can
Speaker 3: I cook? Yeah? Like, are you at a little bit?
Speaker 5: I mean I can feed my family. I have made
Speaker 5: several of the recipes in the book, so I can
Speaker 5: cook a little bit. I'm better thing because I'm good
Speaker 5: at like following the rules.
Speaker 3: Okay, Plus how do we say it?
Speaker 2: Yes, it's so helpful, right, I mean think about like
Speaker 2: whenever you just get ready for a normal day, if
Speaker 2: you have to go to the gym or remember something
Speaker 2: that you need to bring back to the office or
Speaker 2: give to your friend or whatever, you set that all out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, true, right.
Speaker 2: To get organized for the day, or you preload your
Speaker 2: car whatever.
Speaker 3: So lay your outfit out, lay your outfit out the night.
Speaker 2: Before exactly it's laying your cooking outfit out.
Speaker 3: I really can.
Speaker 2: It makes sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we will try it. So get your tickets for
Speaker 3: January seventeenth. We haven't. It's an amazing lineup. It's gonna
Speaker 3: be such a fun party. I'm gonna try cooking.
