                          The good folks of Insight Editions graciously sent me two celebrity television show cookbooks to review. I agreed to review the books because I am a fan of both Friends and The Office. If you watched all episodes of both shows, you will appreciate the recipes in each book. I coupled both books in one review. The longevity of both shows has a wealth of food-related stories, this places well into the authors’ hands for source material. Both books capture the true essence of the pop culture riddled shows with references about food.

These two books are not only for fans but also for serious foodies who want something a little bit more special. There are plenty of fun facts in both books. You will have a new appreciation for the shows.
