DINNER! Franny & Connor Write a Cookbook: A Collection of Improvised Recipes from Pandemic Pantries Everywhere!

An Improvised Cookbook? No Way That’s Possible!

But you’re holding it in your hot little hands! Welcome to Dinner! Franny and Connor Write a Cookbook, a cookbook based on pantries and pandemic vibes of home cook’s across the country. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Francesca Chilcote and Connor Hogan, professional clowns and amateur chefs, crafted a digital performance where they improvised new dishes and stories based on the ingredients they found in their audience’s kitchen. From barbecue sauce quesadillas to deconstructed poke bowls to scallops that caused a self-actualization, these clowns devised thirty five recipes that entertained and satiated the audiences that were facing isolation amidst stay-at-home orders. Now, they’ve taken those recipes and are sharing them with you in this cookbook.

In Dinner! Franny and Connor Write a Cookbook, you’ll find stories and sustenance born out of true kitchen improvisation. Whether you have a taste for Slamming Moon Yay, a playful brunch riff on Salmon Meuniere, or you want to celebrate with some Birthday Boy Fajitas, Dinner! has the recipe to fill your belly and the tales to warm your heart. But watch out! Before long, you may find yourself experimenting in your own kitchen-no show required!
