5.0 von 5 Sternen Well done! 28. November 2011

Von Madreader - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon best�tigter Kauf

The authors really did their homework. In addition to culling some of the classic recipes of the era ( Lindy's original cheesecake recipe - that alone is easily worth the price of the book), to Chicken Kiev from the Russian Tea Room, to the original Mai Tai cocktail, they have resurrected some of the more nostalgic traditonal cuisine of the sixties, and made the dishes both appetizing and easily reproducible. There are great recipes for holiday entertaining; try the blini and caviar, mango chutney and cream cheese spread, or the jumbo prawn dish - easy and impressive. The pineapple upside down cake was really good (although I couldn't bring myself to use maraschino cherries - updated the cake with macadamia nuts instead). The descriptions of all the old New York great restaurants are wonderful, and the historical tidbits relating the food to the events of the times are fascinating. And the best part is, you can use it to review the past few seasons of Mad Men plot lines while waiting (interminably) for the season premiere in March. Great idea - try out some recipes for the holidays, and then use your favorites to host a Mad Men season opener party!

5.0 von 5 Sternen You Don't Even Have to Love the Show..... 18. November 2011

Von glenn rifkin - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Taschenbuch

My memories of the early 1960s are vivid because 10-year olds never forget those transformative moments in their lives. Of course, I will never forget the day JFK was killed. But I also remember the many evenings when my parents would entertain their friends, take dancing lessons in the basement to learn the Cha-Cha, sit around the kitchen table smoking cigarettes, nursing rye and ginger ales and laughing loudly. I'd be in pajamas, sneaking looks from the stairs or the living room, until I got shooed off to bed. The Mad Men series has clearly evoked this time in a powerful way and now, the wonderful cookbook from Peter Zheutlin and Judy Gelman, brings out the details even more vividly. Full disclosure, I don't like the show and have only watched three or four episodes. But I do get the connection to a different era, similar to Revolutionary Road, that has clearly struck a chord among millions of viewers. The cookbook offers a bunch of great recipes, from Old Fashions to canapes, that show up in various episodes. The authors didn't take the easy way out and throw together a few recipes and photos. Instead, Zheutlin and Gelman went on an impressive scavenger hunt to find the wonderful details of where these dishes and drinks originated, who invented them, and how they came to be classics. For Mad Men fans, this is not just a nice memento to accompany the series, it's a fun and well-written read that will add a new layer of pleasure in the watching.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Great Find! 5. Dezember 2011

Von Brian D. - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Taschenbuch

I went looking for a unique holiday gift and what I found in The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook: Inside the Kitchens, Bars, and Restaurants of Mad Men far exceeded my expectations. From it's slick layout and photos to the painstakingly researched material, the cookbook connects me not only to the Mad Men series, but also to the decade of my youth. The recipes (Jerry's Deviled Eggs, Betty's Swedish Meatballs, Kitty's Pineapple Upside-Down Cake) bring me back to family gatherings and holiday partys. But this is more than just a cookbook. The authors' ability to mix recipes with cultural context makes for a great "period piece cookbook". Bravo!
