'Twin Peaks' Cookbook Coming Out For Thanksgiving

by K.W. Colyard

Every David Lynch fan knows to stock up on coffee and pie for the return of Twin Peaks in 2017, but did you know there's an unauthorized Twin Peaks cookbook, Damn Fine Cherry Pie , coming out in time for Thanksgiving? Your home might not be the Great Northern Hotel, but with Twin Peaks superfan Lindsey Bowden's cookbook, you can entertain like it is.

Damn Fine Cherry Pie contains recipes inspired by all your favorite Twin Peaks locations, such as the Double R Diner and the Black Lodge. Plenty of characters also lent their signature quirks to the Twin Peaks cookbook. The recipes you'll find inside include:

  • Audrey Horne's Cherry Twist Cocktail
  • Betty Brigg’s Meatloaf
  • Chocolate Chestnut Log
  • Coffee Donuts
  • Coffee with Mexican Chihuahua Churros
  • Doc Hayward’s Diet Lasagna
  • Doctor Jacobi’s Secret Coconut Hawaiian Stew
  • Icelandic Hangikjot
  • Maple Ham Pancakes
  • Mrs. Tremond’s Creamed Corn Chowder
  • Percolate Fish Supper

I'm not sure what else awaits you in Damn Fine Cherry Pie, but I have a definite feeling the other recipes will be both wonderful and strange.

Bowden's Twin Peaks cookbook also includes helpful entertaining hints. Need to know how to knot a cherry stem with your tongue or fold origami owls? Wondering what the appropriate soundtrack is for a Twin Peaks Thanksgiving experience? It's all in the book!

Don't let your home be where pies go when they die. The Twin Peaks cookbook, Damn Fine Cherry Pie, is available for pre-order today. Pick it up on Nov. 15 from your favorite retailer.

Twin Peaks returns to television in 2017.
