Binging with Babish. Andrew Rea. 2019.

THE RECIPES YOU KNOW AND LOVE FROM THE HIT YOUTUBE SERIES BINGING WITH BABISH.

If you have ever watched Seinfeld and wondered what made the Soup Nazis wild mushroom soup so good, or been curious about what The Godfather's cannoli tastes like, then this is the book for you. In every episode, creator and host Andrew Rea painstakingly recreates some of film and television's most iconic dishes with startling accuracy, such as using squab, wild boar, and rabbit to craft the pigeon pie from Game of Thrones. He replicates classic dishes like Kevin's homemade chili from The Office (spilt straight onto a carpet), shrimp gumbo from Forrest Gump, and crème brûlée from Amélie. He also tackles those dishes you can't help but wonder about, such as the krabby patty from Spongebob and Buddy's pasta, smothered in sweets, from Elf. Rea's art is in taking the previously enigmatic dishes from TV and movies and breathing life-and flavor-into them, dissecting how they would be made from screen cues and creating an accessible recipe. The recipes are woven together with never-told-before stories about how Binging with Babish began, making this book a must-have for fans.
