This cookbook is all about good food, good company, and slowing down to enjoy the moment, just like the show. Whether you’re a Monica in the kitchen, a Rachel learning to cook, or just here for the snacks (hi, Joey 👋), there’s something for everyone. We’ll cook dishes influenced by iconic moments from the show, enjoy the show on the television, some trivia, conversation, and a shared relaxed meal together…no competitive hosting required. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just love themed cooking nights, this class is all about comfort food, laughter, and community.
Smelly cat not included…but good food definitely is!

Lauren's Bio
Lauren finds joy and connection in the kitchen. She founded a Cookbook Club with friends over a decade ago, and it has been thriving ever since, bringing people together through shared meals and culinary exploration. She enjoys baking sourdough, designing charcuterie boards, and crafting her own recipes. Enthusiastic about teaching, she guides others in the kitchen, shares tips and tricks, and inspires confidence and creativity in every cook. Using fresh, seasonal ingredients, Lauren brings a hands-on, approachable style to everything she creates.
Before following her passion for food and community, Lauren spent years teaching kindergarten and first grade, nurturing curiosity and confidence in her students. Today, she continues to share that gift as a part-time reading interventionist, guiding children to discover both skill and joy in reading.
Whether in the classroom or the kitchen, Lauren’s purpose is the same: to foster connection, spark creativity, and turn everyday moments into something meaningful.
