Jennifer Aniston has a new cookbook, Cook With Clyde.
The collection of recipes is for humans even though they are presented by a fictional dog named Clydeo.
And the offerings are far from diet-friendly as she covers pizza, lasagna and Mexican dishes. But the cookbook is meant ‘for kids,’ it is pointed out on the cover.
One of the top recipes the 56-year-old Friends shares was for the yummy Mexican meal enchiladas.
And the ingredients are packed with calories, which is surprising considering the beauty is an impressive size two.
The snacks are made in a muffin pan so they can be bite size, and maybe that is how the Hollywood stalwart – who is a size two – wins because the portions are small.

‘The recipes are simple but delicious, and my hope is that families will enjoy trying these new dishes and have fun while doing it. Bon appetit!’ Aniston told People.
Amazon said: ‘From breakfast through dessert, young chefs will learn how to make yummy, crowd-pleasing dishes, including Jennifer Aniston’s Easy Enchilada Bites, Clydeo’s Legendary Lasagna, and more!
‘With easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, helpful kitchen-safety tips, funny sidebars from Clydeo on how to add even more pizzazz to a meal, and stories of mishap and triumph from Jen’s kitchen, this book will empower any kid to grab an apron and take a bite out of life, just like Clydeo!’
The directions for the mini enchilada bites, according to People, are to preheat oven to 350°F. Place tortillas on a cutting board. Using a 3-inch circular cookie cutter, cut out 24 tortilla rounds.
Then Aniston asks to brush 1 side of each tortilla round with oil. Push tortilla rounds into muffin wells, oiled side down, to make little cups.
Next, stir together Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese in a small bowl.
Then spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the enchilada sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons diced onion, and 2 teaspoons cheese mixture into each tortilla cup.
One has to bake Enchilada Bites in preheated oven until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy and golden on bottoms, 20 to 25 minutes.
Then one must remove Enchilada Bites from oven, and transfer to a platter. Sprinkle crumbled Cotija cheese on top. Serve right away with guacamole.
The snacks serve 12 people, though if each person has two, that would be six people, obviously.
It takes a total of 35 minutes to make these cheesy wonders.
Aniston released her debut children’s book, Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life, with illustrations by Bruno Jacob, in October 2024.
It was the first in a four-book deal between the actress, HarperCollins and Invisible Universe.
Per HarperCollins, the children’s cookbook will be followed by Clydeo Versus Peanut Butter later this year and Clydeo Makes a Friend in winter 2026.
This comes after the Los Angeles native discussed what medical procedures she has done.
The actress, who is known for her age-defying looks and toned frame, opened up about her beauty regime in the latest edition of Glamour.
Aniston was not alone in the interview as she was joined by her Morning Show costars Reese Witherspoon, Marion Cotillard, Karen Pittman and Nicole Beharie.
