One of our all-time favorite TV shows is the ’90s hit sitcom Friends, and not just because of how relatable Chandler was. The show had a knack for making everyday occurrences into hilariously memorable plot points that continue to live rent-free in our heads even 20 years later. These plots were often centered around food, and a few have inspired some food bloggers to develop real-life versions we can recreate at home. If you’re looking for ways to show your friends that you’ll be there for them, these recipes are a great place to start.
Ross’s Moist-Maker
Ross was beside himself when he discovered that his boss had eaten his Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich, and we didn’t blame him. Turkey, stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce are just so much better when sandwiched between two lightly toasted pieces of bread. Make your own any time of year with this recipe by Williams Sonoma.
Rachel’s Trifle
Copy the look, not the flavor. This take on a classic English trifle pays homage to Rachel’s hilarious mistake by replacing the beef sauteed with peas and onions with a mixture of Nutella and shredded coconut. We were relieved to discover that this one does not taste like feet.
Stolen Cheesecake
Cheesecake may not be a Friends-specific recipe, but who among us could ever forget the episode where Rachel and Chandler steal multiple cheesecakes from poor old Mrs. Braverman? It’s not from Mama’s Little Bakery, but we can guarantee this recipe is just as creamy and delicious.
