Arrested Development Cookbook Patricia Baker

A dysfunctional family with the patriarch, George Sr., in jail for fraud; his drunkard wife Lucille; three good-for-nothing sons, Michael, Gob & Buster and a vain daughter, Lindsey. That sums up the Bluths. Then there are aspiring actor Tobias Funke, love-struck George Michael and con artist Maeby Funke.

Yes, you guessed it right, I'm talking taking names of characters from one of the funniest shows in television history, Arrested development! The show follows the lives of the Bluth family, as they try to get their father, George Sr., out of jail. Michael, Gob and Buster are his three unwitting sons, who keep running into dead ends.

Lindsey, the daughter, is absorbed in her beauty routines and fails to give her daughter attention. George Michael, Michael's son is the dimmest of the lot and nurses a crush on his cousin, Maeby-who has a penchant for conning people.

With their funny antics and dramatic plot twists, the family manages to involve food in one way or another. Be it their famous chocolate-dipped bananas or shrimp popcorn, the Bluths love indulging in their favorite foods.

To help you recreate some of their famous dishes, this book leaves you with 30 recipes inspired by Arrested Development. Surprise your guests by throwing them an Arrested Development themed party and serving these delicacies.
