believe in the biscuits

If you’ve watched Ted Lasso, or if you haven’t yet but just heard everyone talking about it, you know that Ted just has a way of making everyone love him. Even if you’re not sure at first, he will keep at it and keep at it until he finds a way in, and then he’ll make his way to your heart. That’s the Ted Lasso way. He doesn’t quit.

And neither do the fans. We want to embrace all things Ted, and filled with lots of ideas on how to bring the spirit of Ted Lasso home is The Unofficial Ted Lasso Cookbook. It’s filled with recipes from England and America, evoking memories of favorite scenes and inspiring celebrations that make you want to believe. From snacks and beverages to entire spreads for a favorite celebration, these 50 recipes can mix and match to make a team of tasty treats as diverse and exciting as team Richmond.

You can make Pigs in Roy’s Blankie or the Sneaky, Salty Bitch Bites, the Sexy Christmas Chocolate Fondue or Higgin’s Mini Cupcakes, Phoebe’s Hot Chocolate or a Diamond Dogs’ Highball. You can try out classic English dishes like Jacket Potatoes, Mom’s Shepherd’s Pie with Cheesy Top, Crown and Anchor Fish and Chips, and Sticky Toffee Pudding. Or you can take a trip around the world for Ted’s Bulls-Eye BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and Southern Slaw, Chicken Tikka Masala with Rice, Sam’s Jollof Rice with Chicken, or Greek Meatballs with Tzatziki.

You can agree with Ted about tea but still wan to try some Earl Grey Truffles. Or you can celebrate Coach Beard with Coach Beard’s Checkmate Chess Pie. You can make a BELIEVE Cupcake Sheet Cake to inspire a group, or you can make your own Biscuits with the Boss, even creating your own pink box to take them to the boss yourself. Authors Aki Berry and Meg Chano have thought of dozens of ways to add bits and bobs of the world of Ted Lasso to your meals, snacks, celebrations, and parties in ways that are fun, festive, and flavorful.

I loved this book. It brought back fun memories from the show and reminded me of all the things to love about Ted Lasso and that crazy Richmond team. This is a book for the fandom, and I am here for it. I am here for the characters, I am here for the stories, I am here for the food. I believe!
