About Food Between Friends: A Cookbook
Product Description Best friends Jesse Tyler Ferguson, star of Modern Family, and recipe developer Julie Tanous pay homage to their hometowns as they whip up modern California food with Southern and Southwestern spins in their debut cookbook. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY TIME OUT Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson and chef Julie Tanous love to cook together. They love it so much that they founded a blog, and now put all their favorite recipes into a cookbook for you to dig into with the people you love. In Food Between Friends, they cook up delightful food, spiced with fun stories pulled right from their platonic marriage. Drawing inspiration from the regional foods of the South and Southwest they grew up with, Jesse and Julie put smart twists on childhood favorites, such as Hatch Green Chile Mac and Cheese, Grilled Chicken with Alabama White BBQ Sauce, and Little Grits Soufflés. So come join Jesse and Julie in the kitchen. This book feels just like cooking with a friend—because that’s exactly what it is.

Jesse I have always enjoyed creating meals for my friends and family. (Especially now that I’m a new father!) Maybe it’s the need to find a creative outlet that isn’t memorizing words and pretending to be other people. My favorite way to spend a free day is to crack open a few cookbooks and create a whole menu full of new recipes. I know what you’re thinking and, yes, I acknowledge that my husband Justin is very lucky to be married to me. Thank you for thinking that. And you should see me in my apron embroidered with my nickname: Jesse Stewart. It was a gift from my mother-in-law, who thought I was just as good as Martha. But let’s face it, mothers-in-law are easily impressed. And the truth is, I haven’t always been good at cooking. We don’t need to talk about my legendary meltdown after my sixth consecutive attempt at piecrust. (You could earn an Oscar for re-creating it, though. Piecrust hates me! It really, really hates me!) Can we forget about the time I cooked my Thanksgiving turkey with the bag of giblets still in the bird? Or the Christmas my mother told me my homemade vanilla bean ice cream tasted like a candle? As much as I’ve loved cooking, I’d always felt there was a limit to what I could do. I wanted to be one of those people who isn’t intimidated about making poached eggs. I knew there must be a better way to dice an onion than the “just keep chopping it until it looks smaller” method, which I employed. And for the love of God, a piecrust really shouldn’t make me cry THIS hard, should it? It was always a dream of mine to go to culinary school, but I had this thing called a fulltime job and that job was something that I not only loved but also was actually good at. (Good enough to receive five Emmy Award nominations. No wins, but, whatever, I’m not supposed to care about that.) I set this dream aside, a sacrifice that seemed reasonable given how truly blessed and full my life was. Then one summer night about seven years ago I attended a friend’s dinner party. Well, it wasn’t just a dinner party. It had a name: “The Spring Street Social Society.” As much as I wanted to support my friend, I was having a hard time getting behind this “interactive gathering” that was also short on specific details. It was being thrown at an
