Calling all Cheetos fans, the new Cheetos holiday cookbook, BON-APPE-CHEETOS: A Holiday Cookbook by Chester & Friends, might be the cooking inspiration to make the holiday season even more festive. While you can have a bowl of Cheetos in the kitchen as you cook these recipes those favorite flavors transform some classic comfort food recipes.

As more people learn to appreciate cooking at home, they are finding inspiration from some of their favorite foods. From the beverage that is served with dinner to the snacks that you crave, even classic recipes can get a flavor boost from those ingredients.

For the holiday season, Cheetos has created the ultimate cookbook that will be a must-have for any foodie on your gift list. The BON-APPE-CHEETOS: A Holiday Cookbook by Chester & Friends is an entertaining way to get everyone in the kitchen and support an World Central Kitchen.

Previously, Cheetos has worked with celebrity chefs, like Anne Burrell, on special pop-up restaurants, like the Spotted Cheetah. This holiday season, Chef Burrell has joined with Chester  to put those Cheetos inspired recipes in everyone’s kitchen.

In the new Cheetos holiday cookbook, the various recipes blend classic comfort food and some culinary innovation. From the newbie cook who is just finding her cooking confidence to the seasoned chef who is looking to add a little whimsy to classic dishes, these recipes can make any day in the kitchen a little more entertaining.

Some of the recipes included in the cookbook are Chef Burrell’s Dangerously Cheesy Mac ‘N Cheetos and the Fried Green Tomatoes with a Spot of Salad. These two Chef Burrell recipes show how the Cheetos build big, bold flavors in the dishes.

For example, the Dangerously Cheesy Mac ‘N Cheetos uses two different Cheetos snacks to add both flavor and texture to the dish. With the combination of cheeses, the richness from the bacon and the crunch from the Cheetos, everyone will want a second helping of this mac ‘n cheese. It might even become a meal itself.

Overall, the variety of recipes in the Cheetos holiday cookbook is quite impressive. From mashed potatoes to even a pie for dessert, it shows that favorite snacks can be transformed beyond the snack bowl.
