Getting Berry Merry

Serious Eats

NYC peeps even drink seasonally. Off to make vodka with Jersey Royals.

Last week, while roaming through the Union Square greenmarket I spotted something that stopped me in my tracks. A giant jewel-like mound of bright red, almost translucent, sour cherries sat beneath a tent. Anyone who's familiar with cherries knows that the arrival of sour cherries means you better get them while you can, because before you know it they'll be out of season and you'll have a whole year to think about what you could've made. I've played that game one too many times, and immediately filled a bag with those little beauties.

Feeding up your Mad Men

Grub Street New York

Don Draper was never hungry for food as he told his wife Betty in one of the earliest episodes. *Blush*. Guessing this cook book will contain plenty of Baked Alaska, Steak Diane and instructions which only make sense after eight tumblers of Canadian Rye Whiskey.

Set aside the $1.99 you were going to spend on that Mad Men cocktail app and save it for the cookbook. News of the deal comes from the subscribers’ section of Publishers Marketplace: “Judy Gelman and Peter Zheutlin's The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook, a guide to the food and drink mentioned in the show from Sterling Cooper power lunches to Betty's Around the World Dinner; also offering suggestions for Mad Men-themed parties and entertaining with style, with every detail true to the period and themes of the show, [has been sold] to Leah Wilson at BenBella Books, for publication in Winter 2112.”
