In best-friend duo Jesse and Julie’s debut cookbook, they pay homage to their hometowns as they whip up wholesome California food with rich Southern and Southwestern twists.

If you follow Jesse Tyler Ferguson, star of Modern Family, on Instagram, you know that he loves to cook. He loves it so much that he co-founded a food blog, Julie & Jesse, with friend and culinary school-trained recipe developer Julie Tanous where they share their favorite recipes.

In Food Between Friends, they bring the blog to life, cooking up all the delightful dishes they want to eat, focusing on the joys of food and friendship. Drawing inspiration from the regional foods of the Southwest and South that Jesse and Julie grew up with (respectively), they seamlessly merge west coast style with fun and funky recipes, such as Hatch Green Chile Mac and Cheese, Baked Eggs in Tomatoes and Grits, and Carne Asada & Shishito Skewers. This book feels just like cooking with a friend, because that’s exactly what it is.
