United Airlines introduces cookbook for its airline food. Yes, really.

Turns out airline food doesn't have to come in a snack-sized bag and doesn't have to stay on the plane. Now folks can recreate some business-class meals with the new United Polaris cookbook. But this isn't the peanuts and pretzels served in coach — United Airlines has shared an image of the cookbook featuring a recipe for "coconut soup with sambal oelek chicken". According to the airline, its US$29.99 cookbook features over 40 recipes from United's executive chefs and chefs from The Trotter Project — which works to provide education and mentorship to benefit young chefs in the culinary and hospitality fields. "A portion of proceeds (for the cookbook) will be donated to The Trotter Project to continue its mission of inspiring the next generation of culinary professionals," a United spokesperson said Monday. <br/>
