Recreate your favourite ‘Fictional Foods’ with Thomas Frake – gourmet-style!

April 21, 2021

Do you ever find yourself watching your favourite film or TV show, and wish that you could recreate one of the dishes they’re enjoying? We previously put a call out for YOU to make a fictional delicacy, from Buddy’s Candy Pasta in Elf, to Krabby Patties from Spongebob Squarepants and we had many, wonderful entries – check them all out here.

You can now get even more creative in the kitchen and make a gourmet edition of your favourite fictional delicacies.

We’ve partnered with the MasterChef 2020 Champion Thomas Frake, to create recipes inspired by the Friends’ Shepherd’s Pie Trifle (don’t worry, there’s no actual beef and mash really!), the iconic Krabby Patty from SpongeBob SquarePants, and the intimidating yet delicious chocolate cake made famous by Bruce Bogtrotter in Matilda.

Get closer to the action of your favourite TV shows and films by making these three delicious recipes – gourmet-style!

Shepherd’s Pie Trifle

This dessert is, of course, inspired by the iconic dish made by Rachel in Friends, when she makes half a shepherd’s pie, and half a trifle. Unlike the Friends gang, you don’t have to worry about beef and mash in this take, but can instead, enjoy the creamy flavours paired cleverly with sharp coffee and delicious brownie.

The Krabby Patty

Warning: don’t share this recipe with Plankton, because he’ll steal it! Inspired by The Krusty Krab’s Special, this tantalising burger will submerge you in an ocean of wonderful flavours; from the undeniably delectable salmon and prawn, to the delicious special sauce.

Bruce Bogtrotter’s Chocolate Cake

The Bruce Bogtrotter Matilda cake scene is arguably one of the best scenes in the British movie collection. The cake looks so delicious, but there’s so much of it – will he finish, or will he be punished by the Trunchbull? Luckily, Thomas’ rendition of the classic cake is just as delicious, but you can eat it at your own pace, and as much or as little as you like!
