CAF Cookbook

Charleston’s Absent Friends: Essential Recipes is a heartfelt collection of recipes gathered from the cast, crew, volunteers, and friends of Charleston’s Absent Friends. Filled with comfort foods, family traditions, theater memories, and a little organized chaos, this cookbook brings together dishes that have been shared backstage, at cast parties, around holiday tables, and with loved ones for generations.
 
Inside you’ll find everything from rich Beef & Guinness Stew and Puerto Rican Mofongo to nostalgic casseroles, crowd-favorite desserts, refreshing salads, and signature cocktails. Each recipe comes with personal stories, notes, and touches that make this cookbook feel like cooking alongside friends.
 
Whether you’re looking for cozy comfort food, unique cultural recipes, or something fun to bring to your next gathering, this collection has a little something for everyone — including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options.
 
Every purchase helps support Charleston’s Absent Friends and our mission to make art for EVERYONE. Period.
