Make roll #1: On 27 of the 4-inch pieces, sideways across the marshmallow, place 3 pieces of licorice, cut to size, and 2 Tootsie Rolls. Roll each one, beginning at the marshmallow side. Trim any excess licorice. Place rolls on a plate. Set aside. Nearly 15 years have passed since the hit show aired its final season in 2007 but it boasts impressive lasting power with the original fans that watched from the beginning, in addition to a new cohort that were introduced to the the beloved Gilmore clan and their rapid-fire dialogue when it hit Netflix in 2014. Aghhh! Those endpapers! I love them. In fact they would make a great phone case or even fabric (I see an apron!). Watching the show, I had always thought of myself as a Rory: bookish, ambitious, maybe a little self-absorbed. All of a sudden, I’d Freaky Friday-ed into Lorelai; still a little self-absorbed, but now I needed to be the grown-up in the room—even if, most days, I still feel entirely like a teenager.

So so fun. Food is such a central part of the entire series. They did such a good job to include the iconic foods of the show. The blurbs before each recipe were so fun and evoked memories from so many fun scenes. I haven’t tried any recipes but they seem thought out and delicious. It’s a beautiful book perfect for any GG lover. Make roll #2: On the remaining 27 4-inch pieces, place 1 Butterfinger Bite, 1 Jujube, 2 chocolate chips, and 1 Junior Mint. Roll each one, beginning at the marshmallow side. Place rolls on a plate. Serve. Lorelai and Rory were often mistaken for sisters, and not just because Lorelai was 16 when she had her daughter. Lorelai’s comfy but chic style is the stuff of mom goals everywhere, so it’s no wonder that Rory sometimes raided her closet. Invoke her fall style as you too wait for the first big snowfall with an oversized knit sweater that easily transitions into the winter season with the addition of a scarf and boots. Over its seven-season run, Rory was seen with her nose in more than 300 different novels. Those are some pretty serious literary ambitions, but if you want to brush up on your own required reading list like the Yale graduate, this motivational poster details exactly which novels you should invest your time in. Hang it up in your Gilmore-inspired reading nook, or perhaps in a home office or dorm room, and find pretty inspiration the next time you’re looking for a good read.

Episodes

For the grand finale of my “eating like a Gilmore Girl” experiment, I had decided to make not just a Luke’s Diner burger, but the famous Luke’s Diner Santa Burger (pg. 25). This particular burger has a brief but stunning cameo in season one, episode ten, the first of what could be thought of as the Gilmore Girls Christmas episodes. Dear reader, I’m not proud to say that my first reaction to this information was fear. Change is tough for me, and while this is happy news, it also represents such a massive change that I almost didn’t know how to process it. Though the circumstances were quite different, I found myself unmoored in much the same way I did in those days when Gilmore Girls first entered my life. What better way than to restore shortness of breath than to eat a burger covered in a quarter pound of cream cheese? I used to be a big fan of Gilmore Girls but stopped watching the last few seasons when it became super melodramatic; Christopher kept showing up and everyone was getting married or didn't know they had a child. Once you’ve decided what you’ll be whipping up in the kitchen, you’ll need a themed drink to go with it. You’ll find recipes for Emily’s Tailgate Bloody Marys, The Rory Drink, and Gin Martini No Onion. But don’t worry if you’re not sure which scene each of these recipes are referring to, because the cookbook is filled with descriptions to help you relive the seven seasons.

Prep rolls: Unravel 6 Fruit by the Foot rolls, and lay them out on a work surface. Cut each one into nine 4-inch lengths. Use a spatula to spread a thin layer of marshmallow creme on one half of each piece (2 inches of the piece will have marshmallow, 2 inches will be empty). For the uninitiated, the show follows the lives of a mother-daughter duo, Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, through ambitions and disappointments, loves and heartbreaks in a fictitious small town of Stars Hollow, C.T., at the turn of the millennium. The internet existed, but social media didn’t, and theirs was a largely analog existence.Authors Elena Pons Craig and Kristen Mulrooney have curated a comprehensive collection of dishes that Gilmore Girls fans will love." - The Hollywood Reporter If you have been watching the show, you immediately know why there would be a cookbook based on the series. If you have not, you would be asking that very question. Food plays a big part in the show, and many of the scenes with the two main characters and others are centered around meals, either a burger at Luke’s Diner or a sit-down meal at their elder families' dinner table on Fridays. Both the very first scene and very last shot of “Gilmore Girls” starts off in Luke’s Diner, a mainstay of the set that remains home to some of the most memorable scenes throughout all seven seasons. It’s from behind the counter that Luke finds out about his long-lost daughter for the first time, and on the floor that Lorelai proposes to Luke in a hasty but heartfelt moment. It’s also where Luke’s sister Liz gets danced on by a stripper during her bachelorette party, and in an unfortunate turn of events, even becomes the collateral damage of Kirk’s infamous car crash. Celebrate the beloved Luke’s diner with this gorgeous print.
