4The iconic television show Friends is all about surviving life's travails together. And it's about accepting differences and appreciating the things we have in common.

One of the things all six friends have in common is a love of food. Monica is a great chef and makes sure Ross, Rachel, Joey, Phoebe, and Chandler are fed properly. Each of the Friends has his or her own attitude toward food, and the show is usually able to shoot an entire episode around that. The six Friends always spend Thanksgiving together, and each year have a wonderful holiday show depicting special meal creations. Check them out in this Inspired by Friends Cookbook.

Let's not forget Central Perk. It's the coffee house where the Friends hang out and turn into their second home. The coffee flows as enthusiastically as the conversation and is invariable accompanied by the Friends' favorite munchies.

You'll find all your favorite Friends recipes in this Inspired by Friends Cookbook. Share the recipes with your friends and remember how great it feels to be surrounded by those who love you.
