Introduction
You might not be much of a sucker for love (yet), but we're telling you, by the end of this book, you'll be running
straight into Hardin's arms - or maybe even right in the opposite direction! Look out, though, because Tessa might
not be too into that. Either way, these two always find their way back to each other. Every time more intensely than
the last. The thing is, we are not always in the mood to watch these two play with our hearts.
What we've done, then, is translate their erratic relationship into a series of dishes and drinks that you can enjoy any
time. Best of all, you can even match the recipes to your mood or love life status! Who says you cannot play with
food? While we do not recommend throwing food at your significant other, here are a couple of things you can do:
Indulge in a dessert by yourself after a fight
Load up on a smoothie the day after you split
Prepare a romantic dinner for your anniversary
Cook your partner's favorite food just because
What are you going to do with our recipes? You might as well start thinking about it because we've got 29 dishes
and drinks for you to try from! Even if you would never actually date a real-life Hardin because of how toxic! You
can enjoy this guilty pleasure from a healthy distance by enjoying these foods instead of getting caught in their
drama.
1. Kombucha-Kiwi Smoothie
Tessa and Hardin’s relationship is so toxic you can expect them to break up at least once a week…And while we
may not be the ones arguing over excessive jealousy and possessively, watching them on-screen is pretty stressful
anyway. To help you get over the whole thing, have a smoothie!

3. Basil-Strawberry Juice
While we love that Hardin found a place for him and Tessa to live in for FREE, can we please remember that these

Drizzle your toast with the remaining olive oil, serve with black pepper, and enjoy.
6. Raspberry Overnight Chia
Unless Tessa and Hardin have a fairy godmother that prepares breakfast for them in between classes and all their
arguments, these two won’t be getting up extra early to cook a healthy breakfast. Our solution? Overnight chia.

8. Almond-Flour Chicken Tenders
This relationship is so complicated that we might as well pretend their diets are equally so! In this parallel universe,
neither of them can eat refined flours or have deep-fried foods because they’re at risk for stroke because of all their

Conclusion
In these 29 recipes, we are pretty sure we’ve served you Tessa and Hardin’s relationship on a silver platter. Once
you start preparing these delicious dishes, you’ll realize why they are so perfect for these two lovebirds. Somehow,
we’ve managed to include all their fights, hookups, and reconciliations into these foods - that’s no easy feat! Thus,
we hope they help you digest everything that’s going on much easier.
Although we know (and hope) that the relationship isn’t going anywhere - because how toxic would that be? - we
agree that there is something about them that we cannot get enough of. In fact, we’d even dare say we’re as
obsessed with this dysfunctional relationship as much as they are with one another…However, just promise us this:
if you ever meet a real-life Tessa or Hardin, run in the opposite direction. Sure, they both have amazing personality
traits, but they’re a recipe for disaster. Walk away. In fact, walk away and into the kitchen.
Even if you’re not sure how you feel about someone yet, let’s start cooking so we can sit down and watch After in a
couple of hours. We’re sure that by the time we finish watching all the movies, you’ll either be extremely motivated
to go after your boo or decide to call it quits for the last time. Tessa, Hardin, and food are all you need. We promise!
Biography
After decades of serving up deliciously home-cooked southern meals from his momma’s kitchen, Kolby thought it
was time to move into the mainstream. Born in one of the Southern states, Kolby encountered food from immediate
and extended family members. Sundays were always a time to look forward to as his momma, aunts, and other
family members would cook up a storm in the backyard.
Kolby, who worked in a restaurant as a server, soon worked his way up the ranks to become a sous chef with
incredible skills and an eye for unique ingredients. Today, he has combined his love for food and interior décor to
create an elegant ambiance that encourages you to eat and love it.
As mentioned, his food career started at his momma’s house, but working at the restaurant was the final nail in the
coffin. Since opening his first restaurant, Kolby is dedicated to ensuring that customers have a tingling-sweet
sensation long after leaving the restaurant.
Today, Kolby is the proud owner of a 3-star Michelin restaurant and has taken southern dishes to a whole new level.
He has plans to open up more restaurants in the future, but the man is aiming for more accolades in the food
industry while developing skills suitable for it.
