As a holiday gift to our devoted readers, we’re giving away ten pairs of tickets to What’s Cooking.
After featuring New York Distilling Company in our winter 2013 issue of Edible Brooklyn, we are psyched that Sweets & Bitters has agreed to let us share both a story from their visit, as well as a recipe inspired by their gin.
Forget tonic water and orange juice. Alex Abbott Boyd, founder of Cocktail Crate, has created a line of mixers made of whole, fresh, local and organic ingredients that make serving cocktails much more fun.
It’s hard to imagine that a chef from Portland might make some of the best Thai food around, but Andy Ricker’s Pok Pok NY might have us sold.
Tomorrow and Thursday, Edible teams up with eight liquor shops throughout Brooklyn for a Hendrick’s Gin Tasting. Lucky us — we’ve got the Hendrick’s gin cocktail recipe that Ayana Suknanan from Gnarly Vines Wines and Spirits will make!
Like we shared last week, here’s what our editors have been reading as of late.
Although we could can seasonal produce all year, there’s something about the harvest season that has us stuffing and hoarding Mason jars. To help you take advantage of pear season, we share one of our favorite recipes from Sherri Brooks Vinton’s latest book “Put ’em Up! Fruit.”
Oktoberfest is hosted in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, but you’re currently in New York. NO SWEAT, THOUGH. You can still celebrate Oktoberfest Bestfest, Edible’s compilation of five Oktoberfest-themed events.
Local, seasonal cocktails sound hard to come by, until you realize you live in a city that’s surrounded by sweet corn and tomatoes. White Pike Whiskey, located in the Finger Lakes, does all the farming, milling, distilling and bottling to create their smooth, clean whiskey. Lucky us, Steven Ljubicic from White Pike gave us his recipe for the perfect fall cocktail: the Bloody Mary.
Don’t get us wrong, we love fall. Much anticipated apples and pears hang low while squash, corn and beans take front and center of the farmers market stage. But can you blame us for wanting to hold on to some summer dishes just a little longer?
In our latest issue, we share the story behind Marie Viljoen’s new book, 66 Square Feet: A Delicious Life. More than just a recipe book, 66 Square Feet brings the reader into the life of forager, gardener, chef and blogger Viljoen who has gained recognition for producing elegant meals in a small urban setting.
