Looking for a light no-bake summer dessert that still looks impressive?
We've been waiting to try Summer Pudding until we finally had some summer weather. The dessert is a British classic and consists of bread layered with berries that have been cooked in sugar, water and a little bit of liquor. The bread and berry mixture goes into the fridge the day before. The whole operation took only about 30 minutes (and that's with the photos)!
Brooklyn Kitchen is one of our all time favorite stores. From affordable vintage cast iron, to copper made in Brooklyn, not only do they have everything you'd need to stock your kitchen, but it's that quirky mix of new and vintage items that keeps us coming back. We knew that co-owners Harry Rosenblum and Taylor Erkkinen had to have a pretty cool kitchen of their own, and we were right. This is a kitchen with some personality!
Farm City is the account of Novella Carpenter's efforts to turn a vacant lot next to her apartment in Oakland into an urban farm. Determined to eat sustainable meat and produce, Novella recognizes that the only way she'll be able to afford "the good stuff" is if she raises it herself. So that's what she does. In a very big way. Novella starts with a garden, then a beehive, then chickens, until she's also raising her own Thanksgiving turkeys! The book just came out yesterday, so we asked Novella a few questions about her farm and for her advice for any would-be urban farmer.
