Netflix's hit prison drama Orange is the New Black is set to release the aptly titled Orange is the New Black: the Cookbook for fans of the show to pick up this fall. The cookbook will feature popular recipes referred to throughout the first and second season with comically titled food names that reference the show's black humor plot lines.
The Orange is the New Black: the Cookbook was written up by the show's creators Hartley Voss and Jenji Kohan. The show heavily surrounds the Litchfield prison's kitchen where many of the suspicious drug trades and gang-related incidents happen. Inside the book is a series of hilariously titled recipes that reference the Orange is the New Black characters and backgrounds such as 'Red's Chicken Kiev,' 'Prison Punch' and 'Miss Claudette's Coconut Cake.'
