  Speaker 4: a recipe. I can't go off the cuss, but I
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: can make. I can make good food.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Really yeah, like what really? I'm actually so I.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Actually for a long time I did when I was
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: living alone because I didn't know how to cook. I
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: did Hello Fresh, which is a sponsor by the way.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: And you used it before I was even a sponsor.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: So yeah, genuinely endorsing Hello Fresh.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: This was like four years ago when I was living alone.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I didn't know how to cook, and I was like, well,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: it gives you the items and the recipe, so why not.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: And so I actually need to order the Kilmore Girls
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Official Cookbook because now I want to make it.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I did. It's good. Wait, Susanna, can you cook?
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I I am not really a cook. I don't enjoy it,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and so I never really like learned how to do it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I can I can, you know, brown some ground beef
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and you know, basic things like that, But I'm not
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: really a cook. My husband likes to cook, so he
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: does the cook Oh he does it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Oh that's good.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I had a phase there where I was like, I'm
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: going to learn to cook, and then I like six
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: months into it, was like, I don't I hate this.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: The worst part is cleaning the dishes. That's the worst part.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Like the process is great, but like.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: That's not the worst part for me. The worst part
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: for me is doing the whole thing and realizing it
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: tastes gross. I'm like, oh my god, I literally just
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: did all this and I don't like it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's a bummer.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I just to me, I always am focused on how
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: much time I'm spending, like you spend for me. It
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: takes I don't know, an hour two hours to cook
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: something basic for ten then you eat it in ten minutes, yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and then it's gone.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: So that's I think we all weren't meant to cook.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Like I think we're all not meant to you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: b Taylor Swift. Some of us have skills, some of
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: us don't. And I don't have that skill. But for
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: those of you that do, the Gilmore Girls cookbook is legit,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: like it's this is the official cookbook, and Elena and
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Kristin wrote it and we'll explain how they did it together.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: But yeah, the burger on the front cover looks amazing.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: This makes me want to try cooking again because the pictures.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: It kind of agree and the whole Gilmore Girls of it,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: and like, definitely we can pull off what Rory and
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Laura cook. Yeah, for sure. So we've talked to one
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: of you before, right, who did we talk to before
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: me Kristin. So Elena and Kristin are here and they
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: wrote a book that many of you have Gilmore Girls,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the Official Cookbook. So we were so happy to have you. Guys.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: We have so much to talk about. One is that
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: you both will be at our I Am All In
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Live event at the iHeartRadio Theater January seventeenth for a
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: really cool segment with Scott So First, Hi, guys, tell
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: everybody a little bit about what each of you do
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: and how you came together for the official cookbook for
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the Gilmore Girls.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Well, I am a recipe developer and so I have
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: written a few cookbooks and this is one of my
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: favorites because it's a family affair. And I was approached
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: by Inside Editions to write this cookbook and luckily partnered
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: with Kristin, who did the amazing flavor text and I'll
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: let her speak to that awesome part. But I developed
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the recipes for this book.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: And I'm Kristin. I am a humor writer. The book
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: was already a plan a little bit before I jumped on,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: but I heard from the editor that they were looking
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: for a writer to join in. I think it was
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: described as a pop culture cookbook and I was like, Okay,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: I'm interested, and then she told me it was Gilmore
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: Girls and I was like, I am super interested, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: she asked me to write I think it was a
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: sample for the Santa Berger. She asked me to write, oh,
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: we're going to talk about to and then they brought
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: me on and that was really really exciting.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and had so many fun ideas, like there's the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: whole relationship chart in the book, which is one of
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: my favorite things. I love it. Yeah, I loved that edition.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: It's so cute. And it was really important to me
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to organize the book by the places that we know
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: in stars Hollow and around it, rather than traditional appetizers, entrees, drinks. Right,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: that was really fun.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: So meaning the diner, the Dragonfly, do you have recipes
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: from El's Pancake World in there?
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: We do?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: We do. So we have Luke's Diner, we have the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Dragonfly in we have sort of outside of Stars Hollow,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: which encompasses the Gilmour mansion and things that maybe happened
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: at college. And then of course we have you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Lorelei and Roy's house which has oh my gosh, we
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: recipes in it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: We were literally just talking about the pizza with the
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: tater tots, so she got the frozen pizzas and then
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: just dumps the tater tots, which seems gross but yet
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: time efficient like it would work.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I had to tweak that a little bit.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: You really need to pre cook your tater tot's a
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: skosh to get that christiness. But I love that line
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: in that episode where Worri's like, well you're the one
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: who wanted to cook.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, we love that when she says do you want
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the apple or the raspberry turnover? Yes? Yes, So we're
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: both of you, Kristen. You first, we're both of you
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: fans of the show before you found out you had
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: this job and came together to write the cookbook.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, I was so it originally aired. I think I
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: was in college when it originally aired, so I was
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: watching it week to week back then, and then the
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: Year in Life came out. It must have been after
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: one of my babies was born, because I binged the
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: entire series again before I watched that, So it must
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: have been. I was up at night and just binge
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: watched the whole series before I watched the four Year
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: in a Life episodes. So yeah, I was a big
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: fan before.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was also a huge fan and watched
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: it when it was actually airing, and then as my
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: kiddo sort of came of age, I watched it all
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the way through with them, so so many hours on
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the sofa, just you know, laughing and also just so
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: much emotional with the crying as they're sort of turning twelve, thirteen, fourteen.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And then watched it all the way through again with
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: them when I got contracted to do this book, because
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: then I'm watching it with my notepad, you know, watching
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: for every single food reference that could possibly be.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Right right right right, Yes, this book was a great
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: excuse to be able to watch some TV.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Exactly I'm working, It's really I'm working. Yeah, And for
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: this book, it was so hard to narrow it down.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I mean I was going to say, write three Gilmore
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Girls cookbooks?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Really, well, you should do another one to follow. So
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: what what a cool thing to have happened in that
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like the two of you created this concept,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: which would have been cool in and of itself, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: someone actually came to you and said, can you do
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: this for Gilmore Girls? Which I almost think would be
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: such a like a treat of a job offer to
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: get like, oh, are you kidding me?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's a treat. It's a treat. I
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: have written several books for inside editions, and I only
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: take on franchises that I love, right because otherwise I'm
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: going to be doing a disservice to the fans if
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I don't love it, if I don't know it inside
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and out, if it doesn't you know, if it hasn't
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: held a place in my life, I'm not going to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: be able to find all those nuggets and all those
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Easter eggs and kind of make all those things come
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: to life. So to get off this one was amazing,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and it was and the perfect time where I had
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: just recently rewatched it and then you know, got to
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: watch it all over again. So yeah, it was great.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: And what about you, Kristen, And obviously what you do
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: is sort of different than what Elena did for the book,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: and that you have to figure out how to turn
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: the food into little stories and anecdotes, and you know it,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: it was a bit says.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: The show's so well written anyways, so it was easy
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: to kind of take the scenarios and just kind of
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: turn into something more about the food. And it's funny
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: because when the book was announced, I know you shouldn't
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: read the comments, but I always read the comments. You do,
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: but so many people are like, what do you mean
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: a Gilmore Girl's cookbook, Like they don't even know how
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: to cook. And I thought that was really funny because
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: when you watch the show, so much of it is
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: about food totally, and one of the characters is a
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: gourmet chef, and we have Luke Steiner, and there's just
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: so many of the episodes are about food. So it
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: was kind of surprised to hear that, but it was.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: It was really fun and I personally, I loved writing
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: about the recipes that you know, you mentioned the pizza
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: with the tater tots. I loved about the recipes that
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: are about a food that they say on the show
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: is disgusting because I loved how Alena twisted those recipes
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: and wow, really good.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what are a couple that stand outs with? My kids?
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: Love the mash banana on toast.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, really so good.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really simple, it's easy for me and it's
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: just really tasty. Lena added some vanilla and I think
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: some cinnamon in there and some lime.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I don't do the lime, to be.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Honest, it was the worst pieced.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: For me.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: It was missus Kim's recipe.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, they're so difficult, and.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Because my editor was like, I don't know what you're
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: gonna do, Like how are you going to do this?
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: We have to have them in there, but like extra
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: chunky soy pudding, like what is that? Like what are
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: we doing?
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Are they all vegan at the Kims? Is that your
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: takeaway that? Or yes, she's definitely vegan.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: She's definitely vegan.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and so all the ahead of time.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she was totally ahead of her gune. All of
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: those recipes are vegan. One of my absolute favorites and
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: a huge cellar like everybody that I've ever given it
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: to to try is the eggless egg salad.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, rights.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: And it just came together and it's got like an auditu.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: What I did was I toasted some chickpeas in some
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: warming spices and actually some tumeric so that they got
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: kind of yellow and then a very firm tofu and
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of celery and green im like gosh, and
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: actually doesn't decide are out a little bit of color
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: and then the Aquaa ranch is kind of the binder
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: instead of mayonnaise. Oh my god, that is in there
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: for a crunch?
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Oh wow?
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Is that from the dance? Is that the sandwiches she
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: passed out in the dance exactly?
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: And the aqua faa ranch is like part of the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: salad and a bag recipe, so you get to kind
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: of use it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say. Also, there's such an iconic episode
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: when they have to go to the like five thanksgivings.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Do you address that in the book? Figuring out all
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: those different turkeys and remember there was a fry. This
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: might be for book two.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we only gonna have to do remember
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Jackson the holiday edition.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good idea.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: That's actually a really good idea.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: And then we could do all of the all of
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the foods from like the Winter Festival edition.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: The thing that's really amazing about Gilmergold not only is
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: there a lot of food, right, but it's the way
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: the food is presented in the show, especially with Suki
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: and at the Inn, both incarnations of the Inn. It's
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: so beautifully displayed on camera, you know. And you talked
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: about the Winter Festival or the carnivals or the sort
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: of events of the town. The food is always just
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: massive quantities and looks like some food stylist has spent
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: one thousand hours preparing it because it's always just flawlessly done.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: The wedding cakes, I mean, the wedding cakes alone just
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: so gorgeous. And I actually taught myself a new skill
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: to do Suki's wedding cake. Yeah, I was trying to
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: figure out how to make it an approachable recipe but
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: also still make it really beautiful. Yeah, So I kind
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: of taught myself that this palette knife technique with buttercream,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: which is very popular all over social media right now,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and it's basically like using a palette knife like you
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: would with oil paint, but to create textured flowers, often
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: in buttercream. So I enjoyed doing.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it sounds at what's the easy for
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: somebody like me and maybe Susannahatara as well, what's the
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: easiest recipe, maybe other than the mashed bananas on TOAs,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: what's the easiest recipe that like a person who cannot
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: cook can make. Maybe Santa Burger.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: The Santa Burger is a great one. I actually think
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: that you would be surprised how much you would enjoy
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: and love making the risotto with Skellos. It's actually it
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: seems intimidating, but risotto is one of those dishes that,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: just with a little patience, you look so fancy at
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the end of the evening. And the reason it's one
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: of my favorite things to cook is because you have
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: to stand at the stove and drink your glass of wine.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: You can't be doing.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Other things, so you know you've got to set somebody
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: else to set the table and make the salad and
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: fuss around. It's like I got to stay here with
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: the result.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you, Elena, is also how many
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: hours and how much time you know, as the expert
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: was put into the way the food looked on the show, Like,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: obviously that's someone's entire job, but that.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Must have been several people's entire job. Wow, yeah, like
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: many people's entire job.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: So, and you did the recipes for this, and I'm
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: assuming they photographed your preparations.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: So I am a strange jumping between two hats, right,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: So I am a recipe developer, but I'm also a
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: food stylist. I was actually a food stylist before I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: really started developing recipes professionally. So I work with a
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: photographer who I've known for thirty plus years, and when
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: it's one of my cookbooks, but also I do other
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: styling for Insight as well and other clients. Yes, so
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I prepared all the food that is actually photographed in
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the book. And that's usually at least the second, if
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: not the third time or the fourth time you made
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: that dish, right, because I've tested it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: And so how long for both of you was the
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: process of writing this book? I would think that would
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: take forever to make all those recipes.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: For me, for recipe development, they usually give me six
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: weeks is comfortable? Sometimes weeks oh yeah, Sometimes they want
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: to cram it a little tighter than that, but six
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: weeks usually.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: And how many recipes are in the book?
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I think fifty?
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: And then Kristen so like a you know, lyricist in
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: their songwriter. So did Elena create all the recipes and
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: the and then you came in and wrote sort of
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: your stories and antidotes anecdotes about them or were you
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: doing that simultaneously a little bit of both. Actually, I
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: sort of got.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Started because I had kind of the same time frame
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: as her, So I got started before I had some
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: of the recipes, because I knew I could sort of
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: come up with a story in this way to introduce
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: it without knowing the ingredients. But I think, I think,
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: I remember, Lenny, you were sort of passing them along
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: as you made them, so you would send them in bunches,
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: so i'd get like an email with ten recipes in it,
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: and then I could go through and see what I
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: had already and then incorporate whatever ingredients I needed to
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: mention in there.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Some of them start with.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: An outline that has sort of the title of the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: recipe and a brief description of what it's going to be,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: so at least Kristin will know it's a Sanna Burger.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: She might not know yet that I've decided to make
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: the hat out of Rent.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Leak.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: She's got like a start. And I always feel so
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: bad for the flavor text authors because I am I
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: am always way behind them, right, you know, And so
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: they're just like this fabulous recipe which will be flavored
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: with blank and blank and blank, and then they just
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: have to wait and fill that in because I'm never
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: gonna be I'm never going to be as fast as them.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: They're cheating, they're at their kids' soccer games with the laptop.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, start're in the kitchen.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Veway I have.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: We will end with my most important question, but first
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: I would love to talk about the Sanna Burger. I
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: always thought the Santa Berger was amazing. It just looked
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: a little mayonnaisy, and I love mayonnaise, but it was
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: very because of Santa's beard. Obviously, it just looked so mayonnaisy.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: How did you sort of navigate that?
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: So I believe in the show he actually says that
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: it's all catchup and cream cheese. I believe that is
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: an exact route. So I wanted to elevate it a
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: little bit because you know, come on, if the character
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Luke had had the time with his health consciousness to
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: really prepare Santa Berger, he wouldn't have done it on
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: the fly. He would have done it more amazing. So
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the hat is roasted red bell pepper, and the beard
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: and the pomp palm and all that is actually a
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: combination of like a cream cheese and a shredded cheese
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: to sort of like make it the cheese on your burger.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, sure, knit up a little bit.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: But it's still quite an investment to eat.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I asked you a question about the Santa Burger. Yes,
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: because I was looking through before we started. I was
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: looking through all the pictures because I think they're so pretty.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Your Santa Burger is beard is very fluffy. Did you
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: use that technique from the wedding cake to fluff up
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: his beard?
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, Kristen, we did kind of like you did almost
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the palette knife technique. Yeah, I just kind of really,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: you know, swoop it on there. But it's because it
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: has that shredded cheese in it that gives it a
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: lot of fun like beard texture. Yeah.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Some of the I'm not gonna lie, guys, let's let's
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: all huddle up. Some of these foods they eat will
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: give you diarrhea, like.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe some of them need to be sheer, right, like.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Right, maybe a bite, maybe to be a bite like.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe if you have friends, have a Sanna Burger.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Suki her recipes, no problem, Yeah, those are gonna go.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Some of the things the Gilmore girls.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Eat, yeah, will give you just one combination, not a platter,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: and don't make the whole recipe of edible raw cookie.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: Dough fine though.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the restaurant I don't want to visit in Starsollow
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: is Al's Pancakes.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Oh see, I'm so fascinated.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Well, so what we did was wet because you know,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: you got to be careful with that one, right, because
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: you're making something but that's supposed to be gross. But
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: then we want people to make it so right, I
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: see shrimp there because we we decided that what was
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: making people not feel particularly well was the heat level.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Oh that was the twist. Not bad shrimp, just a
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: little for some people. Oh interesting, because I mean how
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: else can I spin it?
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: I feel like Westerns is ross. I feel like Weston's
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: seems low risk. Like everything from Weston's seems already. He's
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: just a croissant and like, yeah, like a cake, a cupcake,
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: just yeah pretty. And I do think Suki's cooking is amazing.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: I do also like when Luke and Suki kind of
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: go at it with each other.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: And I like when Luke and Suki finally get in
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: a rhythm because there's been the fire and they're working
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: in the gus together and that is beautiful. Yes, And
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I also love how they brought Caesar up, you know, yeah,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: started to really develop. One of the critiques that I
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: got online talking about reading things you shouldn't be reading online.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: If somebody online was like did this person even watch
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: the show? Who the heck is Rosa? I was like,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: excuse me, did you even watch the show? Because that's
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Strudle is amazing. Let me just say and lamp, Oh
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: my god.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Yes the lamb.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Do you have a Do you have a favorite recipe
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: from Emily and Richard's Friday Night dinner?
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Oh? Good one.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I do love the Parker rolls because I'm a
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: sucker for carbs, and I really love the the caramel
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: apple Christmas tarts. I really felt that Emily would not
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: be serving like a whole anything large, you know, it
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: would all be pasted. So it's a miniature chart that's
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: very caramelizing and it kind of looks like a rose,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: and it just felt really fussy. Yeah, things to go
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: great together, beautiful.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: This is for everybody on this.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Show.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: If you were going to go to one place and
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: stars hollow, really Elena and Kristen, both of you. You
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: can go to the Dragonfly, you can go to the
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Gilmore for dinner. You can go to the Dinery and
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: go to Al's Pancakeering, but only one where would both
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: of you go or your.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: First hands down, I would go to the diner because
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: not only is it just like so much of the
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: heart of the show, but it's it's the central. You
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: could just sit there and watch the entire town happen.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kristen, what about you?
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: I like the vibe of the dragon Fly in agree.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: I agree with you got to go to Luke's, but
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: I want to see the dragon Fly in and see
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: what they have.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Scott. It's lucky Scott isn't here right now, because I
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: think he would be very offended by me saying this.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: But I think the Suki's food at the Dragonfly. I
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: think that's one of those places where you go and
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: you're like, that was a ten out of ten meal. Yeah,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: like that was delicious.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: The diners, you know, you can it's good. You good,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: more regular, you know, you're hitting that every day or
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: every other day.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: But I feel like the Diner is more lunch and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the Dragonfly is more dinner.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: There you Yeah, I think I just want to sit
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: in the diner and just look out the window all day. Yeah,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: that's what I heard.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Now if you we're going so as we end this
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: for the holidays, because people are listening and they've got
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: the book, and if you don't have the book, we
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: actually feel and we need to talk about the live show.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: This book, we said is the perfect holiday gift, and
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: what we thought people should do is get the book,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: put the tickets to the live show in the book,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: wrap it up under the tree, Hanukah, New Year's presence,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: whatever you're celebrating, amazing gift.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: That would be amazing. That would be an awesome gift.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: And here's why it's even better. So, Kristin and Elena
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: will be joining Scott at I Am all In Live
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: for a live cooking segment. So Elena, we're going to
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: turn to you for the cooking. I think Scott can
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: hold his own. And then Kristen, we're going to need
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: a really really cool behind the scenes stories and thoughts
• 24:48

  Speaker 5: jalapeno macaroni cheese.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Oh can you remember when that? When they When was that?
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: What about?

• 26:41
  Speaker 3: it is a It really is, even if I'm not
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: a cook, but I love having the book as a
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Gilmore Girls fan, like just all the memories that come
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: up when you're when you're reading through the book. I
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: need some professional like Elena helped me. Okay, it's a challenge.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I challenge all of you before I see you in January.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I just make besides the banana toast and make one
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: thing from the book, surprise yourself. And if I didn't
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: make it easy enough, that's what I need to know.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Well, No, And as a chef, do you think like
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: you should do it where? So you know how on
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: television I'm sure you know, like it's all measured out
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: right and they're just making it so easy. Do you
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: recommend doing that?
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Like there's actually that's actually an official thing.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: What's it called.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: It's called Meissan plas. It's a French missan plas for
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: everything in its place, okay, where everything is pre measured
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: and precut. And yes, if you take that step, it
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: makes cooking so much easier. Even just reading through the
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: entire recipe when you're not in your kitchen, like sit
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: on yourself and we're at your desk, read through the
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: entire recipe first without touching anything, and then start. Even
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: that makes a massive, massive difference.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, Kristen, can you cook? Can you cook? Just can
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: I cook? Yeah? Like, are you at a little bit?
• 28:02

• 28:04
  Speaker 5: several of the recipes in the book, so I can
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: cook a little bit. I'm better thing because I'm good
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: at like following the rules.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, Plus how do we say it?
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's so helpful, right, I mean think about like
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: whenever you just get ready for a normal day, if
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: you have to go to the gym or remember something
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: that you need to bring back to the office or
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: give to your friend or whatever, you set that all out.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, true, right.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: To get organized for the day, or you preload your
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: car whatever.
