6 Pop Culture Recipe Books to Bring the Screen to Your Plate
There is one experience that everyone can relate to—seeing your favorite cartoon or television series and wishing you could take a bite of their meal. But it is extra challenging when the character raves about its bursting flavors. For example, take the Krabby Patty. Everyone in Bikini Bottom loves it, so why wouldn't we want it, too?
Thankfully, writers and chefs everywhere are coming to the rescue with pop culture-themed cookbooks. Below, discover our favorite recipes, including Disney, Scooby-Doo and more.
