This is the noon All Local for Thursday, October 31, 2024

Get up and get informed! Here's all the local news you need to start your day: Some residents of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, rallied on Tuesday, urging city officials to downsize migrant mega-shelters in the neighborhood after two deadly shootings near the sites. Meanwhile, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell and Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry helped arrest a suspected car thief in Washington, D.C., while assisting federal police in monitoring protests during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit. Plus, after several pedestrian deaths, the city is revamping the western stretch of Atlantic Avenue running through Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill.

This week, I'm diving into some of the burning questions that have been filling up my DMs lately. Since starting Cobble Hill and launching my podcast The Marketing Factor, I've had the privilege of connecting with a bunch of different businesses, each facing their own unique marketing challenges. What excites me most about this industry is its constant evolution - every day brings new challenges, every client presents a unique puzzle to solve, and every solution requires a fresh approach. In our latest episode, I took a solo deep dive into some of the most common questions I've been receiving. Now, I'm breaking down those insights here for you, covering everything from seismic shifts in the industry to practical advice on building your marketing team.

Thousands of new students have joined the New York City school system since asylum seekers started arriving. New York City Council member Shahana Hanif (District 39, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Columbia Waterfront, Gowanus, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Borough Park, Kensington), also chair of the Committee on Immigration, breaks down how the city is meeting their needs and what more needs to be done.

In The Vegan, Andrew Lipstein challenges our notions of virtue with a brilliant tale of guilt, greed, and how far we'll go to be good.Herschel Caine is a soon-to-be master of the universe. His hedge fund, built on the miracle of machine learning, is inches away from systematically extracting obscene profits from the market. His SoHo offices (shoes optional, therapy required) have been fine-tuned to reel in curious investors.But on the night of May 12, at his elegant Cobble Hill townhouse, he has something else on his mind—the dinner party he and his wife have devised to woo their new A-list neighbors. When the evening fizzles, Herschel indulges in a devilish prank that goes horrifically awry, plunging him into a tailspin of guilt and regret. As Herschel's tightly constructed world starts to unravel, he clings to the moral clarity he finds in the last place he'd expect: a sudden connection with a neighborhood dog.A wildly inventive, reality-bending trip, The Vegan holds a mirror up to its reader and poses a question only a hedge fund manager could ask: Is purity a convertible asset? The more Herschel disavows his original sin, and the more it threatens to be revealed, the more it becomes something else entirely—a way into a forgotten world of animals, nature, and life beyond words.About the AuthorAndrew Lipstein is the author of Last Resort (FSG, 2022), a novel “you'll think about . . . for weeks after you read the last pages” (Los Angeles Times).Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://wellingtonsquarebooks.indiecommerce.com/book/9780374606589

Happy new year! We have the feeling, this I going to be a good one. And, as if to prove us right, New York-based producer Nhii is starting it off with a bang. ‚Kykeon of Cobble Hill‘, his new three-track EP, is electric, trippy and mysterious. The title track, as well as the B-side ‚Branches of the same Tree‘ don't skimp on eclectic charm while still fulfilling their prime objective: these are grooves made for the dance floor, deep-yet-bouncy and so, so wonderfully made.

In our humble estimation, the food Marc St. Jacques and his team serve at Bar Bête, is some of the very best not just in Brooklyn, but in New York City, especially in such a relatively casual bistro setting and at a relatively gentle price point. Marc recently opened what's shaping up as an American answer to Bar Bête, Ruthie's, just a block up Smith Street in Cobble Hill. The new restaurant has undergone a few significant tweaks in just its first few months; in his conversation with Andrew, Marc opens up not just about his Canadian roots and culinary training, but also about launching a new restaurant, acknowledging and correcting mistakes, and the challenge of getting the word out if you don't have a PR firm or social-media manager. He also discusses the workplace culture that's helped Bar Bête retain many of its original employees since opening three years ago. Andrew Talks to Chefs is a fully independent podcast and no longer affiliated with our former host network; please visit and bookmark our official website for all show updates, blog posts, personal and virtual appearances, and related news.  photo by Evan Sung

The Swiss-born, Brooklyn-based designer Tina Roth Eisenberg has, over the past 15 years or so, built a cult following of creatives around the world who, like her, constantly seek to connect, reflect, and grow together—and who view her as an inspirational curator and guide. In 2008, Eisenberg founded Creative Mornings, an egalitarian platform that hosts free talks and events, with chapters currently in 225 cities and 67 countries. A serial entrepreneur and the creator of the widely followed Swissmiss design blog, Eisenberg also founded that same year Studiomates in Brooklyn's Dumbo neighborhood; a predecessor to WeWork, it was the borough's first co-working space. (Eisenberg now operates the co-working space Friends Work Here in Brooklyn's Cobble Hill neighborhood.) Also over the past decade-plus, she has founded and launched the aptly named to-do list app Teux Deux and the temporary tattoo company Tattly, the latter of which she sold to Bic Group earlier this year.On this episode, Eisenberg talks with Spencer about why she views the idea of time as a farce, her spiritual belief that everything is vibration and energy, and her mantra of leading with a sense of gentleness and what she calls “an extra layer of love.”Special thanks to our Season 6 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Tina Roth Eisenberg[18:58] Creative Mornings[25:53] Tattly[37:35] Studiomates[37:35] Friends Work Here[43:30] Fingerspitzengefühl[50:03] Time Well Spent[01:01:08] Swissmiss

Shahana represents District 39, which includes parts of Kensington, Borough Park, Windsor Terrace, Park Slope, Gowanus, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, and the Columbia Waterfront.

Beauty expert and entrepreneur, Jessica Richards, is the powerhouse behind Brooklyn's premier beauty destination, SHEN Beauty. After graduating from FIT, Richards worked as a stylist for VOGUE and Moda Operandi before transitioning to her passion project - connecting consumers to products that fuel beauty. Richards saw the unique opportunity in the clean beauty space, as the store would be the first of its kind in the metropolitan area that offered a quintessentially cool, curated range of effective, niche and luxury beauty products. SHEN Beauty opened its doors in 2010 in Cobble Hill. “When I first opened the doors to SHEN Beauty, I wanted to bring beauty to Brooklyn, or rather create Brooklyn beauty from what I understood about the area and my neighbors, and what they wanted and what inspired them.” Considered a pioneer in the evolution of beauty retail, Jessica's keen sense of curation is the secret to how she has successfully launched over 70 brands at SHEN Beauty, including ILIA, Kosås, Lanolips, Haoma, Pai Skincare, Ellis Brooklyn, Vintner's Daughter, Aurelia and May Lindstrom. Richards' passion is connecting consumers to products that fuel beauty – both inside and out. Prior to opening SHEN Beauty, Jessica has had a seasoned career cultivating beauty and wellness brands to their fullest potential. From the early stages of her career at Lucky Magazine working hand in hand with Eva Chen as the magazine's brand curator to then becoming the Senior Beauty Buyer starting Free People Beauty, Jessica has always had a keen eye for bringing unique wellness brands to the forefront. Thanks to her success with SHEN Beauty, Jessica continues to serve as a consultant for wellness brands across the globe. Additionally, Jessica has spoken at several national panels such as the Indie Beauty Expo, Founder Made, and CEW. Due to the buzz surrounding SHEN Beauty, Richards was hand selected by goop founder Gwenyth Paltorow to grow their wellness division. The category is booming and often mentioned as having the potential for becoming the next trillion dollar industry. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/skincareanarchy/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/skincareanarchy/support

Tango Shalom was directed by Gabriel Bologna, son of Renée Taylor and the late Joseph Bologna. The cast includes Golden Globe Nominee Lainie Kazan (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Oscar and Emmy Award-winner Renée Taylor (Adam Sandler's The Do Over, The Producers, The Nanny), Karina Smirnoff (Dancing With The Stars), Joseph Bologna (My Favorite Year, Blame It On Rio, Big Daddy, Lovers and Other Strangers), Jos Laniado Claudio Laniado (Mudbound), Bern Cohen (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), and Judi Beecher (Taken 3, Family is Family, La Garconne). Synopsis: When a female Tango dancer (Smirnoff) asks a Rabbi (Jos Laniado) to enter a dance competition, there's one big problem-due to his Orthodox beliefs, he's not allowed to touch her! Desperately in need of splitting the prize money to save his Hebrew school from bankruptcy, they develop a plan to enter the competition without sacrificing his faith. The bonds of family and community are tested one dazzling dance step at a time in this lighthearted fable. In Los Angeles, the film can be seen at Landmark Theaters on Pico and Town Center 5 in Encino, and September 10 opens at The Laemmle in Newhall. In New York, at AMC Empire 25, The Village East Cinema By Angelika, and also opens on September 10 at The Cobble Hill 5 and Williamsburg Cinemas Brooklyn, Kew Garden 6 Queens, and Malverne 5 and Roslyn 4 on Long Island. Canadian Cinéma Cineplex locations include Forum et VIP - Montreal, Empress Walk - Toronto, and Fifth Avenue Cinemas - Vancouver. Tango Shalom finished its three day weekend engagement better than expected at $20,581, with an astonishing per theater average of $5,145 (second best only to Marvel's Shang-Chi). Tango Shalom also claims bragging rights to the best 2021 exclusive opening, as well having the best PTA, this Memorial Day to Labor Day summer season. Showing daily gross increases this weekend (Saturday +32% from Friday and Sunday +54% from Saturday) boasts to be the number one independent film release this weekend. On Friday, September 10, the interfaith movie that promotes peace, tolerance and inclusion, will expand onto more screens in New York and Los Angeles, and also across Canada in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver with additional screens to be announced soon.

"Because of my access to birth control and abortion, I was able to have my first child last year when my husband and I were financially stable enough, emotionally ready and could be the best parents we could be for him. Family planning is a human right for all birthing bodies and after experiencing childbirth I am an even stronger advocate for everyone's right to an abortion, on demand for any reason they decide to," writes tonight's host Desiree Joy Frias. For too long, anti-abortion forces have claimed the label of “pro-life” while passing laws and encouraging actions that cause direct harm to people's lives and bodies. As the right-wing assault on abortion access in the United States continues to escalate, organizers in New York City are fighting back and standing up for politics that center bodily autonomy, human rights, and reproductive freedom. Hear from New York City for Abortion Rights on the local struggle to protect abortion clinics and ensure access to abortion by any means necessary. Plus, we visit the New York Taxi Workers Alliance sit-in at City Hall to discuss another life-or-death issue: medallion debt forgiveness. Taxi workers are demanding that New York City provide adequate debt relief for drivers as soon as possible. Follow NYC4AR on their website abortionrights.nyc or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/nycforabortionrights/. Visit https://linktr.ee/nycforabortion to sign the petition to stop clinic harassment in Cobble Hill or donate to an abortion fund in Texas. The next Cobble Hill counter-protest will be held on October 9. The NYC-DSA Debt & Finance Working Group is calling on DSA members and allies to show up in solidarity with New York taxi workers this Friday, September 24.

In 1971, the couple co-wrote and starred in the film Made for Each Other. A 1985 offering of theirs included the two-character comedy title It Had to Be You. The story concerns two entertainers who meet, fall in love, eventually irritate each other, and decide to marry and collaborate on playwriting together. Taylor and Bologna also co-wrote and starred in the television show Bedrooms, a series of four skits on love which Jeff Jarvis in People called "cute (if slightly off-color)." In 1996, after a several year hiatus, Taylor and her husband co-wrote and acted in the film Love Is All There Is, the story of two Italian-American families who must learn to get along when their son and daughter decide to get married. In the mid-1990s, Taylor and Bologna wrote and produced the off-Broadway play Bermuda Avenue Triangle.

I absolutely loved Cecily von Ziegesar's Cobble Hill. It's really funny and quirky and smart without being heavy-going; full of subtle social satire and astute observation. It was particularly pleasing as Cecily is best known for writing the Gossip Girl books, which in turn launched the hugely successful TV show - and I was a mega Gossip Girl fan when I was younger. I loved our interview, which took place late last year the day after Joe Biden was announced as the President Elect - we chatted about everything from her background as a trainee ballerina, how running helps her writing, what it was like having her books become such a small-screen juggernaut and why it took so long to finish Cobble Hill.

Cecily von Ziegesar wrote the book series Gossip Girl that inspired the hit TV show (Xoxo). Her recent novel, Cobble Hill, is just as entertaining. She talked to Zibby about how being a grown up doesn't mean you always act like one, being able to intimately write New York-based stories as a native Manhattanite, and learning to poke fun at yourself.

Chana Joffe-Walt searches the New York City Board of Education archives for more information about the School for International Studies, which was originally called I.S. 293. In the process, she finds a folder of letters written in 1963 by mostly white families in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. They are asking for the board to change the proposed construction of the school to a site where it would be more likely to be racially integrated. It’s less than a decade after Brown v. Board of Education, amid a growing civil rights movement, and the white parents writing letters are emphatic that they want an integrated school. They get their way and the school site changes — but after that, nothing else goes as planned.

EPISODE 318 Moonstruck, the 1987 comedy starring Cher and Nicolas Cage, not only celebrates that crazy little thing called love, but also pays tribute to the Italian working class residents of the old "South Brooklyn" neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens. Listen in as Greg and Tom recap the story and explore the many real New York City settings of the film -- from the glamorous Lincoln Center to the still-gritty streets of 1980s Little Italy. While the film's most recognizable location (the townhouse on Cranberry Street) is still with us, other places like the Cammareri Bros. Bakery are no longer with in business.  This podcast can be enjoyed both by those who have seen the film and those who’ve never even heard of it.   We think our take on Moonstruck might inspire you to look for the film’s many fascinating (but easy to overlook) historical details, so if you don’t mind being spoiled on the plot, give it a listen first, then watch the movie!

Tiki: Modern Tropical CocktailsBy Shannon Mustipher Intro: Welcome to the Cookery By The Book Podcast with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table talking to cookbook authors.Shannon: My name is Shannon Mustipher, and I am the author of Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails. When I'm not working on writing and developing cocktails, I'm the spiritual advisor, a.k.a. beverage director of Glady's Caribbean, which is a rum-focused bar in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. I also work as a consultant and educator on the spirit of topics and cocktails.Suzy Chase: This is the first cocktail recipe book written by a working, African American bartender and released by a major publisher in more than 100 years. When you decided to write this book, were you aware of that statistic?Shannon: Yeah, I was. Just a little background. I'm a big history buff, always have been, and I want to say maybe a decade ago, I became aware of a book called The Ideal Bartender by Tom Bullock, who published in 1919 and worked at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky. He was the first and the last to publish this book, African American bartender to publish. There are a lot of bar books floating around, but that one, I just didn't ... I wasn't hearing of it, and my peers weren't reading it, and I just thought it was fascinating that it was like this little nugget of history. When I decided to write my book, it was five years ago, and I didn't know when it was going to be published based on the negotiations I was going through with my publisher, Rizzoli. For it to come out in 2019, a 100 years after Mr. Bullock's publication, just feels like there's something about it that was meant to be.Suzy Chase: I'm probably the only person in the world, but I never knew that Tiki was a huge category of cocktails. For some reason, I thought Tiki was like a vibe or a mindset. Talk a little bit about that. Shannon: It's all those. In regards to Tiki being a cocktail category, it's helpful to keep in mind that when Tiki came about in the late '30s, I mean the first Tiki bar was a spin-off of hinky dinks and that became Don the Beachcomber. Don the Beachcomber, his name was Ernest Gantt, was kind of a world traveler, rum aficionado. Came up with this idea of creating an escapist experience in his restaurant because this is at the end of the Great Depression, and people were looking for some relief from the day to day. The type of cocktails he came up with differed from every other in that you could blend a couple different spirits in one cocktail. That had never been done before. You could also blend a few different juices as opposed to most recipes that would have one or two at the most and various sweeteners and things of that nature. Those features of cocktail you're not seeing other styles of cocktail, and that's ... The recipes are like the core of what makes it different. Then there's other elements like the attention to vessels and presentation and things like fire and orchids and all this craziness that just not ... you're not seeing it in other styles of cocktail. From I would say a structural standpoint where the recipe concerned, there are some clear differentiations. Then of course in the presentation, you don't see that outside of Tiki. Suzy Chase: Last week Grub Street mentioned you saying you're a central figure in the Tiki renaissance in New York City. It's all about the appearances the element of surprise. Do you think this is a misunderstood tradition or a forgotten tradition or both? Shannon: I don't it's as misunderstood as it was when I got my start five years ago. I had to qualify in that on the west coast where Tiki originated, it never fully disappeared. Right? There was a moment where there was only a few bars that still had the authentic recipes. The reason for that was there was secrecy around those recipes, and they were coded because the restaurants and bars that served Tiki in the '40s were very popular, and the information regarding those products was considered propietary. It be like, think of the recipe or formula for Coca-Cola. That's proprietary. Right? When the people that created those recipes and worked in those restaurants retired, they didn't necessarily share the knowledge. This sort of knowledge begins to die off, and then add to that in the late '60s and '70s, American mixology in general was on the wane. It was associated with a generation that was a little bit older. Younger kids, the hippies so to speak, weren't interested in drinking cocktails like their parents did. They preferred recreational experiences. You know what I mean? Yeah, from the '70s through the '90s, there was no information really. You had Tiki tea in California and Los Angeles and Tonga Hut remained open, and there are other places. Outside of a handful of bars, people didn't really know the recipes anymore. The few that did, they weren't talking about it or giving out those recipes because that was just a culture, to keep them under lock and key. When Jeff Beachbum Berry began writing his book about 15, 20-odd years ago, he did the most extensive research into Tiki, went to all those bars, and looked for the rum bottles and scoured any document he could find and was able to reverse engineer and figure out what these drinks actually were. As his books became more popular, and people were more aware of what he was doing, then Tiki started to make a comeback. It wasn't reduced to oh, it's a sweet, tropical drink with an umbrella in it. People began to see the workings and the mechanics of this style of cocktail and understand and appreciate the level of craft that goes into taking eight or 10 ingredients and balancing it in a cocktail. Now, the cat's out of the bag. Right? We have the Jeff Beachbum Berry books. We have Smuggler's Cove, which does an excellent job of talking about not only the history of Tiki and showing us those recipes as well as Martin Cate's newer recipes. The information is out there now. Maybe there are people that still misunderstand it, but it just doesn't have to be that way anymore. Whereas 20 years ago, there just was scant means to educate yourself about it. Suzy Chase: Give us the short history of rum. Shannon: Yeah, sure. Rum is a byproduct of the sugar industry. When European powers began to colonize the Americas, the top priority was to find a cash crop or some other resource that would provide a large stream of revenue, big stream of revenue. Initially the thought was gold, and that didn't really work out. There was experimentation with various things, rice and cotton. Sugar was the one, especially in the Caribbean, that had the highest yield. Just some context, the kind of revenue that was coming out of just Barbados or Jamaica alone by the late 19th century, was on par with oil boom or the gold rush and what took place in Silicon Valley more recently. There had never been a moment in the history of the world where there was such a big shift in the economy. It's important to remember that rum is not just a style or a category of spirit that came about because that's what someone wanted to make. They had this idea in mind of a flavor profile and certainly wanted to craft. It's a byproduct and another way to add revenue to a sugar plantation, their operation. For who are less familiar, in order to produce rum you need molasses or you could use fresh cane juice, but rum as we know it in the Caribbean came about when planters were looking for a way to utilize molasses which was regarded as a waste product. They discovered that you could ferment it and then distill it. This began in earnest around 1705. Prior to that, in the earlier part of the 17th century, there was a little bit of rum production on the islands, but it was basically moonshine. It wasn't packaged. It wasn't bottled. People didn't regard it as a spirit category in the way that we look at spirits today. It was just, this is what we have to drink in terms of alcohol because we can't make beer here. It's too expensive to bring over wine. In fact, the wine doesn't really travel well in the heat. This all began to change, and rum started moving towards how we think of it in a modern sense in 1650 when Jamaica was taken by the British. The British adopted rum as the liquid that they will give out in their daily ration, which became a form of payment in addition to a supplement to the really poor diet that the sailors had on board. By 1750, the Navy had grown to such an extent that they could no longer source the rums themselves from the islands, but they hired an outside firm called [ED & Man 00:11:08]. This firm would source the liquid from various islands and then take them over to London. They created a proprietary blend, and they would age it there. Meanwhile, for those of you who don't know, brands the way we think of them today, they didn't exist back then. A distiller didn't have a face or a label. They didn't make liquid and put it in a bottle and sell it. They'd make liquid and sell it to brokers, and the brokers would create the brands and sell the products. At this time, there was a robust business around that in the scotch and port and sherry categories in London. These merchants caught on to the rum, and they realized that it was par on with single malt scotch, especially the rums from Jamaica which are highly prized, because they had a really special aroma and heavy body due to their production processes. By 1820s, this is when you start to see rum appear as a commercial product in Europe. To this day in the Netherlands and in Germany, the preference for rum [inaudible 00:12:23] Jamaica styles that haven't differed too much from that time. By 1860s, then you start to see rum become a big global business, do brands like Bacardi. Where we are today is we are getting back to looking at the earliest styles of productions of rum. We want what we consider to be more authentic expressions that haven't had sugar added and are made on stills or in facilities that have been operation for 200 or 300 years. It's a really great moment for the category, especially where Tiki is concerned, we can make the recipes the way they were intended. There was a moment in the '70s through the early '90s where the rums that were in the original recipes were not available in the U.S. You could attempt to make the drinks, but you were not really going to really hit it. Now, we can make those drinks again. Suzy Chase: In opinion, what's a good rum to start off with if you're not familiar with rum? Shannon: Well, here's the thing. Rum is a huge category. You can make it in over 90 countries. I compare it to wine in that ... Let's say you look at gin and whiskey. Sure, there are some variations and different brands and styles, but it's not such a huge spectrum of rum. You can get something that's like really light and dry and clean, or you can get really fruity or earthy and funky or on the sweeter side depending on how it's produced. To answer that question, I'd say you have start at least five, because if you are trying to pick out a starter, there's so many places to start. If you take one bottle or one style, you're not ... It doesn't really capture what rum is about. With that in mind, I would suggest picking up a spectrum of rums. Right? On one hand, you want to start with say a lighter rum. For that, I would suggest Rhum Barbancourt [bonk 00:14:33] from Haiti. It's made from fresh pressed juice. Has a little bit of a delicate gassiness and fuller element to it. You can sip it neat. You can put it in cocktails. It's really easy to work with and to enjoy. From there, I would suggest picking up a bottle of an un-aged overproof English style rum, and that would most likely be Jamaican rum. That could be Rum Fire or Wray & Nephew. If you're lucky enough to go to Grenada, I really love the River Antoine. What that bottle is going to do for you is you're not necessarily going to drink it by itself. If you want to have more intensity, then you'll need a rum like that. In terms of something that's just more like everyday drinking rum, cocktail or otherwise, I would suggest picking up a Barbadian rum or a Bajan style rum, because those strike a nice balance between being fuller bodied and rich, but also really clean and smooth and elegant and super easy. The drinking culture in the islands differ from the island to island. That's reflected in the styles. In Barbados, they have this pastime called liming, which means that you gather with your friends at a little shack called a rum shop, and you sip rum all day. Maybe you use mixers, but for them it's not ... rum isn't cocktailing. Rum is just spending time with friends. Right? Then from there I would suggest you would want pick up a rhum agricole from Martinique or one of the former French territories. Those are really cool. They're made from fresh cane juice like the Barbancourt I mentioned, but their standards of production, they have a DLC around it. They're very particular about what you're going taste in the glass because they want to highlight and emphasize the [tarare 00:16:27] of their respective geographic areas. There's also a lot of influence from Armagnac and Cognac production there. With the agricoles, you get to see a really high level of production and crafted. You don't typically associate with rums, but I think trying those will shift your perception around what you think rum is in a positive way. Lastly, some people prefer what they would call a smoother, rounder, richer type of spirit. I find that people that prefer whiskey have a tendency to enjoy Spanish-style rums which undergo more time in the barrel because the Spanish approach is more influence by wine and sherry where the base liquid is not what's emphasized, but what's emphasized is a barrel regimen and the house style and the skill of the blender. That's what they want you to taste in the end. Suzy Chase: Yeah. I read in the book that for example, Jamaican rums have kind of grassy notes, and that's something you wouldn't even think about with rum. Shannon: That's why I love it. Prior to opening Gladys and working in that program five years ago, I was into a pre-prohibition era cocktails and gin and whiskey and all that stuff. I still enjoy it on occasion, but if God came to me and told me that from here on out I was confined to only drinking one spirit category, I'd happily choose rum because there's one for everybody and for every mood or hour or what have you. If I want something that is really dry and light and crisp, I can find it in the rum category. If I want something that's big and bold and chewy or even smokey, I can find that in rum as well. If I just had gin for instance, the spectrum of options is limited. Suzy Chase: In Tiki, chapter one kicks off with foundational cocktails. What are those? Shannon: Where rum is concerned, there's what we call the holy trinity, which is rum, sugar, and lime. They just work really well together in the earliest rum drinks. The Navy grog, that's rum, sugar, and lime. The Caipirinha, it's made with Cachaça so it's not technically rum, but the Cachaça is sugar and lime. The same is true for the [Dakaiti 00:19:00], which rum, sugar, and lime. In those foundational drinks, we walk through those cocktails so that you can taste the different styles of rum and get a sense for how those rums behave. The underlying elements are more or less the same. Also, those drink a base template for others cocktails that follow, and so the bulk of Tiki drinks have those three elements and them build from there. Suzy Chase: There's a technique in the book called fat washing spirits. What does that mean? Shannon: It's an infusion. It was pioneered by Don Lee who is a partner in Existing Conditions currently and got his start at PDT. With fat washing, you take an oil. It could be derived from an animal. Don Lee's was smoked bacon fat. I do a lot of vegan fat washes, so I love coconut oil. Essentially you I guess steep or infuse the liquid with the oil for a 12-hour period at room temperature, and then you freeze it so that the solids separate. They come to the top. You skim it off. You strain it. What happens is that the liquid is now, it has those fat molecules in it. It takes on a different texture and a creamier mouth feel. Milk punches utilizes the same principle. They're very labor intensive. It requires multiple steps and a number of ingredients and a couple days to achieve that result. Yeah, milks punches which were popular in the 18th century, have made a little bit of a comeback in the modern bar, is where that idea is derived. Fat washing with oils is much faster and more consistent. Suzy Chase: You created a cocktail inspired by a reggae song. Tell us about that. Shannon: It's one of my favorite cocktails actually. It's called the Kingston Soundsystem. I was approached by Punch Magazine to pick a reggae song and make a cocktail. I really love Skylarking by Horace Man. It's a really chill, laid back, kind of lazy day kind of song. I was like, okay. There's a bird reference here. I love the Jungle Bird. I'm going come up with an unusual twist on it. The idea was kind of like a white angelonia. I wanted to make a white Jungle Bird. For those who are not familiar with the cocktail, they Jungle Bird has aged Jamaican rum. It has Campari, lime, and pineapple. I looked at each of those elements and went on the other end of the spectrum. Rather than aged Jamaica rum, I used an un-age higher proof Jamaica rum. It's call Rum Fire. Instead of Campari, I used a gentian liqueur called Suze. I love that stuff. A consumer right now, the American public is not too hip to it, but I think it's wonderful. I use it kind of in a way, a lot of people have used St. Germain in the past, which is elderflower liqueur, but way too sweet for my tastes. I want something dryer. That's stands in for the Campari. Rather than pineapple, I wanted to again reference Jamaica so I use Soursop. Soursop is a large fruit about the size of a big cantaloupe, and it has little prickles on it. Kind of think of it as a prickly pear. It has a really wonderful, delicate, floral aroma in the nose. It's delightful for those who have not tried it. Then again, not very sweet. Kind of tastes cross between a pear and an apple, but it has a really clean, dry finish on it. There's really nothing else like it. Then of course, there's a lime. The result is a drink that follows the Jungle Bird template, but takes it in a dryer, more herbaceous direction. Suzy Chase: Do you think we can find these ingredients in our local grocery store or liquor store/Whole Foods? Shannon: It depends on where you live. Soursop, you'll find it in Caribbean stores or Asian stores. If you can't find the juice, you can usually find it as a frozen concentrate. That would be Goya or [lafame 00:23:43]. Then where Suze is concerned, yeah, if you live in an area where you can get to a decent liquor store that has Craft products, you'll find it. Suzy Chase: As a bartender, what's the most annoying request you get the most?Shannon: I don't. I like bar-Suzy Chase: Nothing? Shannon: You know how some people are like, "Oh my God, you're ordering a Mojito now. It's busy." For me, I'm there to serve the guests and I'm delighted to do it. You're there to get what you want, and that's why I'm there, to give you what you want. Case in point. I was doing a pop-up, and it was Tiki drinks. Someone wanted a Martini. I was so excited because she was getting what she wanted. I made a her what I hoped was a really good Martini. I really enjoyed it and so did she. Suzy Chase: They're more than 60 beautiful color photographs in this book. You call Tiki a theater for the senses, and you get such a good feel for that with Noah Fecks' photos. Tell us about your friendship with him. Shannon: It's a beautiful one. We met through a mutual friend, Nicole Taylor. She's the author of the Up South cookbook. Suzy Chase: She's amazing. Shannon: Oh, God. I want to be her when I grow up. Suzy Chase: Me too. Shannon: I met her a decade ago. She's just so dynamic and has forged her own path. She's totally Nicole and just ... I don't know. I can't go on enough about her. I had a birthday party and she invited him to tag along. She predicted that we would quote unquote ride off into sunset together. We hit it off that night, and we're chatting. He approached me shortly thereafter about doing some test shoots at Gladys because he shoots a lot of food. He wanted to added some liquor and cocktail content to his book. The shoots went really well. I worked in the photo industry for the first five years of living in New York as a style and prop assistant. I knew procedures of how a shoot would go. It was really smooth and the images were beautiful. Shortly after that, he suggested that we do this book with Rizzoli. Suzy Chase: I don't know how long this book took you, but there is a full color photo with every cocktail in this book. I can't even imagine the work that went into that. Shannon: Well, I mean, had I know how much work was going to go into it, I don't know if I would have agreed to do it. Suzy Chase: I mean, just looking at it I just think, wow, that's a lot of work, but it's gorgeous. Shannon: I mean, to be fair, I believe that that work is not just what I did in the two years that I was writing it and producing a book, but in the years prior that I spent studying visual art and practicing as an artist, I went to [Ritzies 00:26:52], studied painting and art history. I started drawing when I was five. I was always making things. The book was really exciting in that not was I able to share my recipes and more importantly, my approach to flavors and ingredients, but also could indulge that part of me that wanted to create images. That was the intention behind the photography in the book. Now, you look at a lot of cocktail photography and it follows a formula. It's like, okay, here's a drink on a bar or against some kind of backdrop or what have you, and that's pretty much it. Because we're working in Tiki, we wanted to go beyond and create vignettes that would evoke a story. Suzy Chase: Well, you did it. It feels like it's a culmination of your fashion background and your mixology background. This is all of that in one book. Shannon: Oh, yeah. When I closed my studio shortly before I moved in New York 12 years ago, I had a lot of friends around me who were dismayed because, "You're so good. Why are you doing this?" I had various reasons. I didn't think that what I refer to as the art industry was for me. One of my biggest reservations around it was the accessibility of that work and the class issues around it. Right? Where do most people go to see art? They go to galleries. They go to museums. Museums are wonderful institutions, but there are a lot of people that can't afford to go to a museum, or culturally it's just not an inviting place for certain individuals. When you go deeper than that, when it's time to buy artwork, that's again confined to a class of people. Taken further, when a collector acquires a work, doesn't necessarily get seen. I think the statistic is that 70 to 80% of all the artwork is in storage. This idea of making this thing for a select few is probably just going to sit in a dark room. That's not where I wanted to put my energy, and that's not how I want to share what I had to say in the world. With that being said, being able to make a cocktail book where my creativity could be there and it was very accessible to people. I mean, a cocktail is like 10 or 15 bucks. Most people can do that every once in a while, was really gratifying. Suzy Chase: Now to my segment called my last meal. What would you have for you last supper, and what cocktail would you have with it? Shannon: I'm a pretty simple person. I would have ostrich steak. Suzy Chase: That's simple? I thought you were going to be, "I'll just have a taco." You say ostrich steak. That's so interesting. Shannon: It's so delicious. You ever had it? Suzy Chase: No. Shannon: It's going to change your life. Okay. Suzy Chase: Where do you get that? Shannon: Okay, so I had it in South Africa. I think that if you live in Africa or certain parts of the world, I mean, I think you can get ostrich here. The whole point is in South Africa, it's not a big deal. That's the meat that they have. Right? Like we have cows, they have ostrich. It's like a steak, but the texture ... I don't know. I can't even tell you why it was so good. I'd do that and pair it with a nice glass of wine. Suzy Chase: Not rum? Shannon: No. Suzy Chase: Wow. What kind of wine? You're just throwing me off today. Shannon: What kind of wine? Probably a Zen or ... No, that's too sweet. I don't know. Something kind of dusty, maybe [Linwood 00:31:00]. I used to work in wine. I still enjoy it. Yeah, I mean, rum's great, but I just don't if it would go that good with the steak. Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on the web, social media and in Brooklyn? Shannon: My website, Shannon dot ... shannonmustipher.com. It's not a dot. That's my email. On Instagram, same thing. Just Shannon Mustipher. I don't have an alias. I'm like, no ... I want you to find me. It's not like, what's her handle? Just my first, I say. Put it into Google. You'll find me. Suzy Chase: It's M-U-S-T-I-P-H-E-R for everyone out there. I also want to remind everyone that we're going to be doing a free live Tiki talk and book signing at Lizzyoung Bookseller in Cobble Hill in Brooklyn on Thursday, May 30th. Look for more information on my Instagram and Shannon's, and we we hope to see you there. Thank you so much, Shannon, for coming on Cookery By the Book Podcast. Shannon: Suzy, it was a pleasure.

A Woman’s DrinkBy Natalka Burian Suzy Chase: Welcome to the Cookery by the Book Podcast. With Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table, talking to cookbook authors. Natalka Burian: I'm Natalka Burian, I'm the author of A Woman's Drink: Bold Recipes for Bold Women.Suzy Chase: What is your philosophy on mixing and sharing drinks, as opposed to the pre-Prohibition cocktail era?Natalka Burian: Yes. That is a great question. So I am sort of immediately put off by that element of cocktail culture, and that resurgence during the early 2000's. I feel like there was this real emphasis on beautifully made drinks, which was great. You had access to so many higher quality products, and hospitality experiences, but the thing that bothered me that kind of prevented me personally from really fully enjoying myself in these moments was the very, almost nostalgia, for this period when it was really a dark time in our history, you know? It's really not ... to glamorize it seems really cruel to me. And to glamorize it by holding up this time when men who were the only ones allowed in these spaces, and sort of automatically paved the way to make it easier for more men to participate in this culture, and for me I just felt like, I think that cocktails and cocktail culture should be inclusive. And I think that everyone should be able to walk into a place, or even at home. At home or out, people should get exactly what it is that they want, they like, and not feel any shame or uncertainty in asking for that. And I think that's what, at it's heart, that's what hospitality is about. It's about making everyone feel welcome. And what bothered me about this culture was that it didn't do that. It made people feel embarrassed or ashamed or unknowledgeable. And I think that's a failure, a hospitality failure.Suzy Chase: You also wrote in the book that most of these watering holes shared much in common. Lengthy and intimidating drink menus, rules of conduct, and an old-fashioned sense of propriety. I feel like at the time, the Wall Street bros and hedge fund managers dictated the culture of bars. Do you?Natalka Burian: Oh, for sure. Absolutely. And I think also these shows like Mad Men, that really sort of look at that era through rose-colored glasses to a degree. Like look how beautifully dressed, look at these hats, look at these Old Fashioneds. You know, I think that there was an additional sheen of glamor on that lifestyle and I think you're absolutely right. And again, I think the people who have the heftiest wallets are the ones also driving the conversation. And I just don't think that's right.Suzy Chase: To get a little background on this book, can you first chat a bit about your Brooklyn bars, Elsa and Ramona?Natalka Burian: I would love to. So Elsa began kind of, we opened up in 2008 as a reaction to what was happening, as you say, in this bro'd out cocktail culture. And I just was like, what if we did it differently? 'Cause the thing was, there was no denying the drinks you were getting in these places were incredible. The ingredients they used, the spirits they used, the recipes they breathed life into, and the ones they created, were really fantastic and creative and interesting and really high quality. But it was sort of like, how do we translate this and how do we move this into a space that feels more accessible. And that feels actually fun. Because at the end of the day, you're not in a library. No matter how much like a library it looks, you're at a bar, you're out, you're having fun. And it should feel fun. It shouldn't feel like you have to be restricted in any particular way, you know? So I think that that's sort of how Elsa began. And we had a great community response. And as a result, we opened Ramona. So our first Elsa was in Manhattan, we opened a second bar, Ramona, in Greenpoint, which was our first Brooklyn location, and sadly we lost our lease in Manhattan but we were able to put a second Elsa in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. So I feel like we've sort of continued to live on, despite New York City real estate constraints.Suzy Chase: I read that your East Village regulars followed you to Cobble Hill.Natalka Burian: Yes, it was actually great. So when we opened in the East Village, we had a lot of sort of young, single, a lot of women came in. We had a very, I would say our guests skewed female. Not overwhelmingly, but definitely there was like, we had more female guests, I would say for a while. And when we opened Elsa in Cobble Hill in, what year was that? I guess two years ago almost, now. We had people coming in saying, "Oh, I went to old Elsa," or, "I used to go there on dates and now I live around the corner here." It's just great to see, we moved with most of our guests. So it was really interesting to see the neighborhood shift. And so the people that had frequented our East Village location are now, if they stayed in New York, are now living in our neighborhood. And we've had people come back and visit from, you know, when they come back into town from elsewhere. If they used to live in East Village they'll come and we've had people come visit, "Hey, you know, I remember when you guys were in the East Village," and that's always, it just feels so good to be part of someone's story like that, you know, and there's so many people that come in and say, "I met my partner in your bar," or "I got hired, I had a meeting with an employer and they gave me the job." Like it's just really, that's the most exciting thing for me, to sort of be part of the community story like that.Suzy Chase: Tell me about your Singer sewing machine beer tap.Natalka Burian: Oh man, yeah. That's ... quite a tale. So we had, when we opened the first Elsa in the East Village, we had no budget. I mean, no. Like our budget was all of my credit cards combined. And it was not an impressive number. So we'd had a friend who was in design school at the time, and I said to them, I was like, "Hey, I want to do this. Would you help me? I can't pay you but, you know, you can, creative freedom, and we can do whatever you want, it'll be great," and he had this idea to, because we were so limited, our budget was so limited, we couldn't really do as much as we wanted to do. But we somehow found this sewing machine on eBay I think, and were just like, "What if we did something crazy like with the beer tap? Like what if we did something really surreal and interesting that was a conversation piece so that the room immediately would have this thing that you remember, that you're drawn to." And it ended up being this crazy craft project on steroids with welding and drills and sort of figuring it out and then ended up working out beautifully. And we took it with us when we moved, because there was no way we were gonna leave it behind. 'Cause it's kind of our thing.Suzy Chase: Is there a certain way you personalize your bars so they aren't masculine and intimidating?Natalka Burian: Yeah, I think for us it's all about who we hire, number one. We are very, it's important to us to hire an inclusive staff, it's important to us to hire people who care about our guests and who don't make ... like there's a term on the menu or a spirit no one's ever heard of, to relay that information in a way that feels like a friend is talking to you and not someone who's judging you, you know? So that's a huge part of our mission. I would say it's all about the people we hire. It's all about the spaces themselves, being very bright and open and inviting in a different way. And the music, the music is always really fun. And there's never any old-timey jazz, or any of this, so it always feels fresh. And that's the thing. We want people to come in and feel free to enjoy themselves and free to ask for what they need and never, like, the no judgment thing is a big part of that, too. We don't want anyone to come in and feel uncomfortable or judged for ordering a lemon drop or whatever. If it's something they want, we want them to get it. You know?Suzy Chase: Totally. I was a resident DJ at Trophy Bar in Williamsburg for six years.Natalka Burian: Oh, yes! Oh man.Suzy Chase: And two of the three owners are women. And you could really tell the difference. In the cocktails, and the lighting, and the interior design. And even down to how clean the restrooms were.Natalka Burian: Yeah. We definitely, at all of our locations, the restrooms are very inviting. I want them to be ... I just have a personal thing about bathrooms. I feel like so often they're like an afterthought. But it really is a place people pay attention to, because you're kind of up in there, you know? And it's really a place that, if you can go the extra mile it makes a big difference for your guests.Suzy Chase: Where do you find inspiration for your cocktails?Natalka Burian: I would say definitely through food. For me, now, as I've gotten older, I'm definitely going out less and less. But I think for me it's through food and travel, if I've gone somewhere and I've eaten an incredible salad and it had these ingredients that I never thought to put together, it would make me want to do that. For example, this summer I went to Maine, which I had only been to one other time, strangely. And I had this ice cream that was like a banana ice cream, with Red Hots mixed into it. And I was like, this should be so gross. But it was so delicious, we're still trying to figure out how to replicate that and make it a drink. Because it's like this crazy, it's just this bonanza of this spicy sweet very unexpected flavors, that I'm trying to get it together for our menu for the summer coming up.Suzy Chase: Did the Red Hots freeze in the ice cream? Were they crunchy?Natalka Burian: No. Let me tell you. They were sort of semi-dissolved, so they would have these ribbons of that hot cinnamon but then you'd also have this sort of gooey occasional crunch of the candy shell. It was, I mean, I don't know what these people did but it was, I have to call them. I don't know. I'm not having any luck cracking it.Suzy Chase: That's so funny.Natalka Burian: It was really good. Yeah. No. I think about it constantly.Suzy Chase: That's what's brilliant about this book is I really feel like more and more people are having dinner parties. In lieu of going out. So you can use this book to host your dinner party at home. Or, you can just make one drink for yourself.Natalka Burian: Absolutely. And the idea for the book was kind of the same spirit behind the bars, that there's something for everyone there. Like everyone has an entry point to the book. If you've never made a drink in your life, or if you're an experienced cocktail maker at home, there's something for you. And if you're hosting a bachelorette party for 30 people, there's a perfect recipe for you. If you're hosting a friend who's had a rough day, there's a recipe there for you. Or even if you just want to make yourself a nice drink and you don't have all the ingredients for an Old Fashioned, there's a recipe for you.Suzy Chase: Chapter Four is Drinking to Get Over So Many Things. Describe the dragon fruit rum, red pepper and peach daiquiri, and why that was chosen to drink when you find out somebody you like voted for Trump.Natalka Burian: Yeah. You can tell we wrote this book in the wake of that 2016 presidential election, I think.Suzy Chase: Yes!Natalka Burian: I think, definitely, I'm still shell-shocked, as I'm sure everyone is, but for me the thing I love about this drink is that it's not an easy one. It's not one that you can sort of like, throw together. There is a process here, there are a bunch of elements going on in the drink. So I like that it gives you time to sort of gather. There's almost an intention when you set out to make this drink, and there's almost, any time you make a cocktail there's a ritualistic component where you're making a space for a feeling or a person or for yourself. And for me it was like, I liked this one because not only does it require a lot of interesting preparation and you have to create that space and be intentional about those feelings, but you also get the result, which is this vibrant red vivid ... it's just, the drink looks how I was feeling at the time. You know what I mean? It looks like that feeling. And I think when you drink it, it just kind of has that ... yes, there's anger, but there's a determination or something. I just feel like it captures this energy really well.Suzy Chase: Like working through something.Natalka Burian: Totally. Totally. And being constructive. Not just being reactive. Doing something like, I think that the act of building the drink sort of ... there's something. I don't know. I don't want to get too, make this anything that it isn't, but I think that there is something about responding to something as opposed to reacting to it, and I think that was the intent. That's sort of the message behind the drink and how I hope it would galvanize someone to move forward in a difficult moment like that.Suzy Chase: I love the combination of illustrations and photos in this book.Natalka Burian: Yes!Suzy Chase: Was that your idea?Natalka Burian: No, that was our editor. I wish I could take credit for that. Camaren Subhiyah, who was the amazing editor at Chronicle, suggested. Because part of the, one of the other features of the bars is our wonderful illustrations that were made by a old college friend of ours who is a very talented illustrator. And she was just like, "Well why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you? If you have access to these great ... like how else? What a great way to capture the vibe of your spaces." And it really was such a genius suggestion. And the photographer, Alice Gao, was, I feel like even still she's still out of league. I feel so lucky that we got to work with her. Just so fantastic, so talented, the photos exceeded my wildest dreams. Like really, just, I could not have imagined a more, like I really could not have been more thrilled with the way all of those images turned out.Suzy Chase: What is the glassware mitt?Natalka Burian: I think any time you pick up a cocktail book or you go to a fancy bar or, even go to someone's house, for example, I think there's this pressure to serve the right, like to match the drink to the right glass. You know? And I find that to be so frustrating. Because it's just a glass. Like it's literally just a glass. In my New York City apartment, I don't know about you, but I think to expect anyone to have that amount of glassware is insane. Like it's crazy.Suzy Chase: Yeah. I have no room.Natalka Burian: You can literally drink any drink. No. I mean, and who has that kind of budget? Like if you do, god bless, and enjoy it, like yes, go for it. I would never stop someone if they wanted to invest and give all that space to glassware of every variety. But it's just totally unnecessary and you can just literally serve any drink in any kind of glass. Even if people are like, "Oh, you need, you don't want a stemless because you don't want to heat up the." It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine. In any glass you have.Suzy Chase: It's gonna be fine.Natalka Burian: I promise. Yes. It's gonna be fine.Suzy Chase: For my segment called My Last Meal, what would you choose for your last supper?Natalka Burian: What would you choose? What's your last?Suzy Chase: Probably a steak and potatoes.Natalka Burian: Yeah. I like that classic.Suzy Chase: Remind me of my mom.Natalka Burian: Oh. I think I would have to go with a lobster roll and a champagne cocktail. I think that's a good note to go out on.Suzy Chase: So keeping with the theme of this book, I was thrilled to get a copy of A Woman's Drink from your publicist Joyce Lin, who I love. To donate to the Wing! Natalka Burian: Oh, yes.Suzy Chase: And now, A Woman's Drink sits proudly on the library shelves at the SoHo location with other female authors. You can check out my photo on Instagram. And I saw on your Instagram that you did a cocktail class at the Wing. How was that?Natalka Burian: I did. It was so fun. It was so much fun. And I'm hoping they'll let me do it again. I really had a blast doing it. And it was just a great, I've done a lot of events for the book but that was my first cocktail class I'd done. And it was so fun! And the women were really happy to be there and asked amazing questions and it was just a really great night. And I would absolutely do it again. Any time.Suzy Chase: Are you a member?Natalka Burian: Yes. Yeah. I love it. I don't know what I did without it for so long. It's just been so ... I joined, I guess it was last November? I don't remember. But it was like, it's been maybe over a year now. And I just, I also run a nonprofit called the Freya Project, which is a fundraising reading series where we have five women read a personal essay based on a theme around a nonprofit organization that we raise money for, for that night. So mostly we support these really small, usually reproductive justice, organizations in red states that don't have a lot of support in their communities. So just the idea is to sort of build this bridge between women who are living in progressive cities and women who are doing the really hard work in the ground in places that are kind of hostile to the work that they do. I feel like I've moved all of my Freya Project meetings to the Wing and it's been so great to sort of designate a space for that. And I could not imagine a more beautiful place to work. It's just so beautiful in there, I can't even handle it.Suzy Chase: That's amazing. For people who aren't familiar, it's a women's only club slash work space. Is that? I never know how to explain it to people.Natalka Burian: Yeah. I think so. Yes. And their programming is fantastic. They have the most wonderful speakers, and the most wonderful events, and I just, it's been ... like I said, I can't believe I lived so long without having the Wing in my life.Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on the web and social media?Natalka Burian: Thank you for asking. So I have a website which is natalkaburian.com. I'm on Twitter @NatalkaBurian, and on Instagram at ndburian.Suzy Chase: Anyone can make a perfect drink with A Woman's Drink, even if that person knows nothing about artisanal bitters, has limited time, or is living on a budget. Thanks so much Natalka, for coming on Cookery by the Book podcast.Natalka Burian: Oh, thank you so much! This was so, this was a lovely way to spend my Friday morning. Thank you.Suzy Chase: Subscribe in Apple Podcasts, and while you're there please take a moment to rate and review Cookery by the Book. You can also follow me on Instagram @cookerybythebook, Twitter is IamSuzyChase, and download your kitchen mixtapes. Music to cook by, on Spotify. At Cookery by the Book. Thanks for listening!

Sarah Pettegree, aka the Pork Pie Queen, is the founder of the successful artisan savory pie business Bray’s Cottage Pork Pies. Based in Norfolk, England, she has elevated the classic pork pie by using local seasonal ingredients (she personally forages for wild garlic in spring) and by adjusting the traditional recipe to appeal to what she likes best...which just so happens to appeal to the modern palate, like omitting the squishy aspic jelly. [Good call, Sarah]. In this episode, Sarah tells me how and why she made the very conscious transition from management accounting to starting her own savory pie business. [Side note: savory pies are one of my favorite things about living in England. Why is this not a thing in the States?!] She talks about how she strategically determined how to position her company so that it could be a sustainable employment opportunity for her, and the importance of social media for her business in giving her access to others in the food industry all over the UK. Sarah is kind and passionate and just lovely. One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation was when she compared herself and her fellow artisan friends in Norfolk to a group of twigs: when they’re together, they can’t be broken. Entrepreneurial solidarity! Thanks to Malai Ice Cream [@malai_icecream on Insta] for sponsoring this episode!

So, what’s new in New York Real Estate? Let’s take a look at the numbers… Month over month, the data shows the Brooklyn rental market has maintained recent gains as we move through the peak spring and summer real estate season. Some of the positive data may be credited to landlords offering better deals and concessions, though everyone should be pleased that the market appears to be on the better ground than at the beginning of the year. The exception may be renters who may not see a break coming in much lower rents. Overall, Brooklyn rental prices nudged up by an average of 0.18% in April 2018. Overall, almost all of Brooklyn saw a positive month for rentals. The few exceptions where some minor softness was seen include Williamsburg, Cobble Hill, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights and Bushwick. DUMBO still holds the title for most expensive apartments in Brooklyn, thanks to new luxury units. The most affordable rental apartments are being seen in Bay Ridge. Among the most notable stats over the last month was the almost 7.2% rise in rents in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Followed by a 6.52% rise in Crown Heights, a 6.19% increase for 2 bedroom apartments in Downtown Brooklyn and a 6.1% bump up for Clinton Hill studio prices. Month over month, Price per square foot fell by 1.1%. Listing inventory rose 7.1%, and days on market slide further, to 29 days on average. Year over year, Brooklyn rental prices are still not in much better shape. Rental prices are up an average 1.5% over the same period in 2017. The number of leases being signed also rose by a modest 1.6%. That’s despite an almost 40% rise in OP and concessions. On average landlords are now giving up almost 2 months of free rent to new tenants. Now let’s take a look at rentals by unit type: For studios The average price per foot is up slightly to $55 average unit size is up slightly to 650 square feet 23 studios are No Fee, and 124 are Fee apartments Month over month changes saw rents up 5.4%, though the price per square foot dropped 2.2%. Year over year rents are down 0.7% Units with elevators rented for almost $400 per month more than walk-up units last month. Gyms are still one of the top amenities tenants are looking for. They added an average of around $500 per month to rents last month. Units with full-time lobby attendance are renting for almost $300 a month more. There was only a minor premium for outdoor space. For 1 bedrooms... The average price per foot is up slightly at $48 The average unit size is up to 722 square feet 12 1 beds were No Fee, versus 143 Fee apartments Month over month change rents are up 3.1% year over year rents are up 2.5% No fee 1 bedrooms rented for over $500 more per square foot than fee apartments last month. Having a laundry in the building saw 1 beds renting for $8 more per square foot Units with NO private outdoor space are renting for around $300 less per month The difference in rents for elevator versus walk-up units is $600 per month Units with gyms rented for $11 more per square foot last month. Buildings with full-time lobby attendants are renting for almost $700 more per month than those without attendants. Now on to 2 bedroom rentals… The average 2 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn now rents for $3,165 The average price per foot is $41 average unit size is 941 square feet 4, 2 bedroom apartments were No Fee rentals, versus 226 Fee rentals Month over month rents are down 1.9% But year over year they are down 3.1% Having a laundry in the building can add $5 per square foot to the rent last month Those WITH private outdoor spaces rented for $3 more per square foot A 2 bedroom with a gym in the building is renting for almost $800 more per month Those with full-time lobby attendant are renting for around $150 more per month. There is around a $400 premium for elevator versus walk-up apartments. For 3 bedroom apartments the average price per foot was at $35 in April The average unit size is up to 1,061 square foot 1, 3 bedroom rental was No Fee, versus 99 rentals with Fee Month over month rents are down 0.5% year over year rents are UP 2.9% No FEE apartments rented for almost $3,000 more than fee apartments last month. Those with gyms rented for $22 more per square foot. Having a laundry in the building can make an $18 difference per rent per square foot Expect to get $150 more per month for units with private outdoor space Elevator apartments actually rented for $5 less per square foot last month Having a full-time lobby attendant made a $30 per square foot difference, with total monthly rent almost $3,000 more for 3 bedroom units in these buildings In summary… What the break down in this data shows Brooklyn landlords, is that the market is still strong, but many landlords are making concessions to be able to rent faster and even keep rents heading up. Over 50% are leasing with some type of special incentives.

The Vintage BakerMore Than 50 Recipes from Butterscotch Pecan Curls to Sour Cream JumblesBy Jessie Sheehan Suzy Chase: Welcome to the Cookery By The Book podcast with me Suzy Chase.Jessie: Hi. I am Jesse Sheehan and I have written a cook book called The Vintage Baker that I am very, very excited to talk to Suzy about.Suzy Chase: Your vintage baking booklet collection inspired you as you wrote this cookbook. Tell us a little bit about your collection.Jessie: Sure. So it was over ten years ago that I first discovered these booklets. I'm actually a former lawyer which I kind of try to keep a secret, but I'm just gonna come right out and tell everyone right now and I was on this extended, I joke, this extended maternity leave whereby I had left to have one child and then I left to have another child and then I never went back. So I sort of had my kid, left my law firm and never returned and after my second child was about a year old I loved being at home with my kids but I also didn't love being at home with my kids and wanted to find something to do that would take me outside of the home and I didn't want to go back to being a lawyer and I had started working as a junior baker in a bakery in Red Hook Brooklyn where I live called Baked. I had sort of just walked in the door and said, "Please hire me. I don't really know anything, but I will be a hard worker and I really want to learn what you guys are doing here," they of course looked at me like I was a crazy person, because what kind of mom does that or person of a mom's age does that, but long story short, they took me in as an intern. I started baking with them and it was around that same time that I was with ... One of my kids was, I don't know, in an art class somewhere and I was strolling around Cobble Hill with another one of my kids and stumbled, or Carroll Gardens and stumbled upon this junk shop that had all these amazing booklets in this barrel, not barrel, but basket on the floor of the shop and I zoomed in with the stroller and grabbed a bunch of them. They have these incredible covers with cakes on them and ice cream and candy and the illustrations are just so whimsical and at least for me very kind of provocative and exciting. I grabbed a bunch of these booklets and took them home and the rest was history. I started working with the booklets just at home, making things from them. Being inspired by them while still working at Baked and learning the craft of baking as it were. The booklets are special. Their recipes tend to be ... They're not the most ... It's funny I was just listening to your podcast with the woman from Betty Crocker and that new cookbook.Suzy Chase: Yes.Jessie: And she was talking about how you really have to change the flavors of these old recipes for our 21st century palette and that is absolutely true. What I would find ... What I loved about the recipes is they're full proof. They've been tested. They really are tried and true, but they may not have the kind of pizzazz that you want them to have. So I think she mentioned this, and I'll mention this, like almost no recipes call for salt. She mentioned things being too salty. I actually never found anything to be too salty. Although she was talking about savory and I'm talking about sweet, but 90% of the recipes don't even call for a little bit of salt as we all know a little bit of, not that we all know, but a little bit of salt will help bring out other flavors, so you kind of need salt not to make something salty but to make something flavorful in general. So things like that, or even vanilla. You know maybe they would call for a teeny bit of vanilla or none whereas so many baking recipes today obviously call for that or some kind of flavoring like that. Just having fun with the booklets at home, making the recipes and thinking about well that's good but not great. How can I make it better? That was what got me started playing around with them and at Baked, at the bakery where I was learning my craft as it were, they're style is very like Americana and old school and big billowy cakes and big chunky cookies and cupcakes and scones and sticky buns and coffee cake and all of that. Those are all recipes you're gonna find in these booklets. So it was sort of this kind of perfect storm of finding the booklets, beginning to be a baker at Baked and then the journey that that took me on to where I was able to pitch this idea to ... I wrote a book called Icebox Cakes before I wrote this book and I was able to pitch this idea about booklets to my editor who worked with me on Icebox Cakes and she loved it. So it was that's maybe too long winded an answer, but that's where booklets came to be part of a book.Suzy Chase: It's never too long winded.Jessie: Okay. Good.Suzy Chase: So what years were these booklets put out and who put them out?Jessie: So, sure, so they ranged or at least the ones in my cookbook, the one's that I'm using are from the late 19th century like the 1890's though, I think I have a McCall's booklet in there from the 1970's, but I would say mostly the heyday of the booklets would be like the 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's. Essentially ingredient companies like Domino Sugar or Swans Down Cake Flour, or appliance companies like Frigidaire would distribute these booklets when a customer bought a bag of sugar or bought a refrigerator and the booklet's called for the ingredient or the appliance being purchased in all of the recipes. So obviously with the Frigidaire book, every single thing was gonna be something that you needed to make cold, whether it was ice cream or some kind of pie. Then if it was Swans Down Cake Flour, everything in there calls for Swans Down Cake Flour and the booklets were and amazing advertising tool. They encouraged the women to use the product. They, depending on the era in which the booklet was published, kind of the message to the homemaker as it were, would differ, for instance during the depression the message would be let's talk about how frugal you can be. You can use our product and you can make these things and you're gonna save money in the 20's earlier on there was a, I forget the exact date, but there was a pure food health law passed. I'm bastardizing the name, but something like that. During that period of time, all the recipes were supposed be good for you. So it would be like you must buy this kind of Knox gelatin because it's gonna make sure that you never get a cold or that you have strong bones or whatever it is. Then in the 1950's, which I just love, it was all about, I mean very sexist, but I love it anyway, just all about the glamour associated with cooking. So suddenly cooking went from something that your chubby granny was doing with an apron on, like to be frugal in the 20's. Now the pictures were all showing these glamorous gorgeous woman stirring up a souffle and how excited your husbands gonna be when he gets home and there's a souffle on the table. So the booklets were just this amazing advertising tool and for the collector today, just this amazing sort of look into Americana and history and also food history and they offer so much as well as, just something that I love about them, which is just these like amazingly yummy unusual recipes. When I was picking recipes for the book, what I tried to do is sometimes I was just picking things that I just love like, of course I'm gonna have chocolate cake with a seven minute frosting, 'cause I love that, but also tried to pick things the booklets and if it wasn't the booklets, it was the time period had ... They were just the most wonderful names for different treats. For instance like the sea foam ... the seven minute frosting in my book is made with brown sugar and called sea foam frosting 'cause that's what it was called back in the day and I just adore that or fig newtons were called fig pincushions or almond cookies that kind looked like a sand dollar. You place three small slivered almonds on the top of the cookie, those are called sand tarts. So I was just in love with the names and so chose some recipes in the book because of the names that they were given in the booklets and some because I love them and some because they were just so ubiquitous and you just felt like I can't really write a cookbook based on these booklets unless I put in a coffee cake because every booklet has a coffee cake.Suzy Chase: Speaking of names, I never knew sticky buns had so many derivations like rolls…Jessie: Oh I know. That's a great one. So in my book they're called pecan curls 'cause that's what they were called, but yes they had a variety of different names and it's just again it's just so ... I found that really fun and special just to see how creative and different what the stapes, not staples, but the things that we love to eat. These baked goods that we love to eat. All the derivations of their different names.Suzy Chase: And they were called curly Q's, isn't that cute?Jessie: Yes. It makes so much sense right? Because that's the shape.Suzy Chase: Totally.Jessie: We just called them buns, but really there should be some reference to the way you make the dough and how you roll up the log and it is a curly Q.Suzy Chase: Yeah. They're so not a bun.Jessie: I know right? True. It's true.Suzy Chase: When did you realize that you had a passion for recipe development?Jessie: Oh good question. I would say what purchasing all those booklets early on brought me was not only this exciting connection between the more modern version of these old school desserts that I was learning to make at Baked, but also my own efforts at home to kind of twist and tweak the recipes myself and I almost feel like doing that at home encouraged me to think about development in a whole different way. I was so committed to just learning how to do things. I'm a rule follower and I kind of, which is probably why I like to bake, I don' mind if you don't have to ... I'm not one of those people that always wants to, "shake it up" and put my own label on it. I'm like, what, here's a recipe I'm gonna follow it. Anyway, working at home with the booklets definitly inspired me to play around a bit more and then what was amazing about the opportunities that I ended up having at Baked, at the bakery is that Matt and Renato who own the bakery and are the founders began writing their own cookbooks and they needed a home baker to test their recipes, 'cause they wanted to make sure the recipes worked in a home kitchen and everyone I worked with was a true on professional, who'd gone to cooking school. So I was a perfect person to test the recipes. Then from testing, I started developing recipes for their books. So definitly it was my work with them and the bakery that gave me my first opportunities to do so, but that was sort of coupled with my own kind of experimentation at home.Suzy Chase: I love that you referenced the 1942 booklet, My Bananas, How To Serve Them on the chi banana fritter page.Jessie: Oh.Suzy Chase: In that booklet, it recommends serving banana fritters for dinner with roast beef and cauliflower.Jessie: It's crazy.Suzy Chase: I mean that's hilarious.Jessie: Yeah. That was really fun too. I didn't spend, it's funny, I definitly brought that up in that head note to that recipe, but there was crazy things they wanted you to do with some of these sweets and particularly the jello booklet. I had this amazing recipe that was actually cut. By the time it's time to put the whole book together often you have to cut a few recipes to make everything fit once design gets involved in how it's gonna look, but I had a recipe for whipped jello, which is actually this amazing concoction of jello that you end up before it's really hard, it's just starting to set up, you add a lot of whipped cream to it and whip it up and it's almost like this delicious fruity mousse. I fell in love with the name whipped Jello. I saw it everywhere. I have a lot of jello booklets and so I saw it in all of my booklets and I was like this is absolutely going in my book and then I did my twist and tweak for that recipe 'cause all the recipes in the book are, I say I twisted and tweaked them for the 21st century baker. The twist and tweak was that you just make the jello from scratch. You just are buying gelatin and I had ... The recipe was a passion fruit whipped jello and you bought passion fruit juice and gelatin and it was this amazingly light fruity deliciousness, but I forgot why I went ... Oh, I know why I went on that tangent. But the jello booklets are an amazing example of things like this banana booklet where you're like, "Huh, you want me to serve jello with what?" We think of jello as a sweet thing that maybe we had for dessert in elementary school in school lunch. Do you know what I mean? Not something that you're serving as a main course as it were. The jello booklets are just, not go off on a little riff on the, are just some of the most extraordinary. There's one maybe from the 1920's which is literally like a story. On the first page a woman marries her young husband and is very fearful about the first meal she's going to make for her in laws and but jello saves the day, because she makes them jello and then her husband calls her at 6:00 pm and says, "I'm bringing folks home from the office. Is that okay?" And she panics, but then she makes them jello and it literally takes you through the milestones of this woman's life. Dinner party with the husband's friends from work, the in laws, the baby comes, the baby's first birthday, you know all the ways up until she's having tea and she's a granny and every occasion is marked with jello and I just think that is like beyond amazing. I love that booklet so much.Suzy Chase: Here's a clever piece of vintage advise. For even browning and less browning, bake your cookies on the back side of a rimmed baking sheet. Why is this?Jessie: OH, the idea is for the ... It's better ... What do they call it? It's almost ventilation for the cookies as they bake. They're not being encumbered by any little walls of the sheet and if they're baked up a little bit higher with the heat being able to go up underneath the pan as it were, it just makes for this terribly crispy deliciously baked, or perfectly baked shall we say, cookie. It was the advice you could get from the booklets. It's funny, when I first started writing the book, I thought that was gonna be ... When you write a cookbook, and you know how you have a [inaudible 00:15:33] and you're trying to get an editor or a publisher to buy your idea essentially, you try to have ... they want you to have a hook. What's the ... You couldn't just say, "OH I want ... I have these booklets I'm gonna write recipes from them." That's not enough. At first, I thought my hook was gonna be all the advice from the booklets. In the end it seemed like either a combo of other people putting old school advice in books or just not really ... I wasn't really sure it would be robust enough. That I would come up with enough advice to really make that move the book forward as it were, but I still held onto the idea, and my editor did, of just putting one little piece of advice before each chapter.Suzy Chase: You have included a darling pamphlet inside the cookbook. Tell us about that.Jessie: Sure. Well I wish I could take credit for it, but really that was Chronicle Books is my publisher and they're amazing and they make the most beautiful books and it was they're idea. I don't know if it was my editor, just with her colleagues discussing the book, but it literally, for those that don't know about these little booklets, they're four by six, I mean they vary in size, but they're pretty tiny. They're made of paper. There's no cardboard. They're stapled and what Chronicle has done, is placed a little tiny faux book into the pages of the cookbook. What is sort of both cool and made writhing the book or designing the book somewhat difficult is that ... So for instance, in this booklet, all of the recipes are pre 1923 recipes and therefore are not copyrighted. So what we put in the booklet, which is sort of amazing I think it's at least 20 if not more, recipes, original recipes, so you can sort of go look at my butterscotch pecan curl recipe and then look in the booklet to see what an original sticky bun recipe would have looked like. Same thing with the sand tarts, the almond cookie. I think I put the chocolate cake in there. So what's nice about the booklet is you can see the original and then you can see what I did and not every recipe in the tiny booklet is the one that I used to create the recipe in my book, but you get a sense of what an early recipe for one of these items would have looked like. The issue is this, post 1923, all of the art work and all of the recipes are copyrighted. Now I didn't need recipes for my book because I was creating my own, but I definitely needed to use the artwork from the booklets to really make the book special and back to this idea of finding your hook when you're trying to come up with a book proposal. The hook was going to be that I was gonna have original art from the booklets contrasting with more modern art by a contemporary photographer. So that was part of the process of writing this book and a laborious part of the process was contacting all of the companies and trying to track down who owned the booklets and who owned, or who owned the copyrights to these booklets now.Suzy Chase: Oh my gosh.Jessie: Yeah, I love Chronicle, but they did not offer to help me with that. So that was my job and it was really hard. Some of them like Kraft actually now owns all, like so, so, so many of my booklets, or knows the copyright to them because Kraft folded in General Foods and all of these other big, big companies that had produced so many of the booklets that I was interested in. Right before my manuscript was due, Kraft said, "Yeah, you can use our booklets," and that was an incredible coo. It was early on in the writing process, most of the art was pre 1923 because it was the only art that I knew I could use without permission. So I was so excited to be able to use art form all of the different decades so that it didn't seem like, "okay, this is really cool, she has ... this is all recipes from before." Before the 1920's. But anyway the booklet is super special and sweet and cute and can be used. I mean you could try to make recipes form it if you so desired. But it's just a nice contrast to the revamped recipes throughout the books well as they use the old fashioned font in it and then the pictures and it just gives a real sense of what an early book looks like.Suzy Chase: Now how has Bonny Slotnick of Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks here in New York City helped you add to your recipe booklet collection.Jessie: Oh my gosh. How has she not helped me? I mean she's incredible. So I kind of knew Bonnie a little bit anyway. I had certainly been to her shop before I started writing this book, but at least it would've been three years ago. 2015 when my book Icebox Cakes came out. I started going to her shop and really embellishing or ... I started buying a lot more booklets. I had a few. I had some from when I had found them in that shop with my son all those years ago and I had certainly been collecting them over the years since then, but once I really got this idea to write the book, I ended up purchasing more books from her and she is such an extraordinary human being and she lent me many of her booklets. So ones that I didn't have that maybe are impossible to find at this point, she let me use. So I was about to photograph them as well as use recipes from them and that was huge, huge, huge and she's just an incredible resource. She knows so much about food history. She loves the booklets. That's why she has this vast collection in her apartment. We had this really fun day. She joked. It was like we were playing with Barbie's except we were playing with booklets and I came over and we sat on the floor and looked through her booklets and she let me borrow as many as I wanted which was incredible. I hope to do something in her shop in the fall. A little book signing and chat and she's so knowledgeable. She could probably ... She'll be teaching me and talking to everyone and I'll be listening, but she's amazing.Suzy Chase: I live for a good icebox cake, so I made your recipe for coconut chocolate icebox cake with toasted almonds on page 131.Jessie: Yay.Suzy Chase: That definitely took me back. First off, describe what an icebox cake is.Jessie: Oh sure. So an icebox cake is a cake that consists of layers of usually cookies and whipped cream, but it could be lady fingers and pudding or it could be graham crackers and pudding and you layer these items in a dish and then place the dish in the refrigerator to set up as opposed to in the oven and what happens in the refrigerator over an 8 to 16 hour period of time is that the cookie, or the graham cracker, or the lady finger absorbs, I call it the cakey component, absorbs the whipped cream or the pudding and so what happens is the whole cake is transformed into this very creamy, still with some texture from that cakey component, but it's not crisp anymore. It's soft. It's transformed into this soft delightful creamy, yet slightly, I wouldn't say crunchy, but you know ... It's almost like cake, literally. Like you can imagine what it feels like to put your fork into a slice of really yummy chocolate devils food cake that those chocolate cookies when they've absorbed the whipped cream, become cake like. I think they are, obviously since I co wrote a book about them, I adore them and always have. I didn't grow up in a house where anyone was making icebox cakes, so I can't even really recall when I had my first one, but once I figured out that that was an option and this was something you could make on the regular because they're incredibly easy, I was all over it. The book that I wrote is all about using homemade ingredients. So you make your own cookies, you make your own graham crackers, you make your own lady fingers, pudding, whipped cream, as well as other interesting components, like a layer of caramel, or a layer of ganache. So the book requires a lot of the reader, although I hope that people get it that you can always substitute. Store bought lemon cookies. You don't have to make your own lemon cookie, or store bought lady finger, or even Jello pudding. Make a pudding out of a box if you don't want to do it on the stove top. So I hope the book will have some legs for people that are like, "Hmm, that sounds yummy, but I don't think I want to do all that work." I hope people will understand that when using that book, they can use things they find in the grocery store. So when I wrote The Vintage Baker I was very conscious of that. I love icebox cake so I put two recipes for icebox cakes. I have a vanilla rhubarb icebox cake and then I have the coconut chocolate one you mentioned. I made sure that, yeah they took a little bit of work, the vanilla rhubarb, you make a rhubarb compote on the stove top or the coconut almond icebox cake, you make this really fun coconut whipped cream from a can of coconut milk combined with some heavy cream. There's a little bit of actual, oh not actual work. There's a DIY aspect to it, but I'm not asking you to make any cookies. I'm asking you to buy some chocolate cookies for the coconut chocolate cake and I'm asking you to buy some vanilla wafers for the vanilla rhubarb cake. I just think that makes it more accessible for people. I think people hear icebox cake and they think that that's gonna be something easy that I throw together and stick in the fridge. That's what I wanted it to be in this particular book. I'm so glad that you made that recipe. Again back to my ... I have a lot of anxiety about putting this book out in the world. I'm very excited, but I'm also nervous 'cause it's like ... It's funny I was just listening to Deb Perelman who is a friend of mine and someone I've worked with. I was listening to her on Serious Eats and she was, "This is Deb Perelman," like incredible blogger, and cookbook writer and et cetera, et cetera, talking about the fear of when her second book came out. Like not sure it would have legs, or what would happen to it. I'm not in anyway comparing myself to Deb only in that I feel that same sense of anxiety. Rather than be confident like, "Yeah, my book is great. I love all my recipes. Can't wait to share 'em." I'm like the opposite, like "Oh my God, Suzy's making the coconut cake. What if she doesn't like it? What if it doesn't work?" So I gotta work on my confidence a little bit here, but the thing that's fun about this cake and that I wanna talk to you about 'cause I'm hoping it worked out for you, is it does, as I mentioned before, it requires you to take these cans of coconut milk, put them in the refrigerator-Suzy Chase: Turn 'em over.Jessie: Until the fat, yeah, and you turn 'em over. The fat hardens ideally and in 24 hours you take the cans out, you open them, you scrape out the fat, you put the watery milk to the side, use it for another purpose, and then that's what you whip. I call for whipping it along with some heavy cream. It just makes it a little more stabile, but the first tester of this recipe tested it, fine, loved it, everything was perfect. Second tester, she got bum cans of coconut milk and despite the fact she'd left them in the refrigerator for a day, when she opened them it was all water and she tried to make it any ... I mean, oh I won't even bore you with the details, but that's why I have a little note in the recipe, like when you're in the grocery store, please pick up the can of coconut milk and just shake it slightly. You need to hear something that sounds slightly solid to begin with, 'cause if it's all watery when you get it at the grocery store, it ain't gonna change once it hits your refrigerator. Talk to me Suzy, did you have any problems with that?Suzy Chase: No, well with the coconut milk, no.Jessie: Yeah. Oh, good.Suzy Chase: But with layering the chocolate wafers, I didn't know whether, how to put the wafers on the edge. You could put a full wafer down the middle, and then do you crack it in half and put it down the edges?Jessie: Yes, yes, exactly. Yeah, yeah, what I wrote is you cover as much of the cream as possible with a layer of wafers filling any gaps with broken wafers to create a solid layer.Suzy Chase: Okay. That was my only-Jessie: So that's exactly-Suzy Chase: No, it was amazing and if you love coconut, you're gonna love this.Jessie: Yeah.Suzy Chase: So where can we find you on the web and social media.Jessie: Yes. Great question. So on the web I am at jessiesheehanbakes. That's my website where I have my blog and information about events that I'm doing and articles that I've written and the whole nine. Then on Instagram I'm at jessiesheehanbakes, same thing and same thing on Facebook and I have a Facebook page and I think Twitter is jessiesbakes.Suzy Chase: Great.

Check the full version of these reports and individual reports at: https://www.newyorkmarketreports.com   This episode is brought to you by: http://www.theratnerteam.com   Here we dig into the latest data and trends to find out what is really happening in the local Brooklyn rental market to help landlords, real estate investors, and developers make the smartest financial moves. So, what’s new in New York Real Estate? Let’s take a look at the numbers… Month over month, Brooklyn has seen seasonal softness in rentals over the past few months. Strong leasing activity, landlord concessions, and better marketing may have begun turning that around this year according to the latest data. Overall, Brooklyn rental prices nudged up by an average of $10 per month in February 2018. While rents and the market continued some modest improvements in February, some of Brooklyn’s most fashionable neighborhoods and recent top performers like Fort Greene lost ground. Top performers, include this month include Bushwick, with a 10.2% rise in studio prices. Crown Heights and Prospect Lefferts Gardens once again showed positive growth. DUMBO still holds the title for most expensive apartments in Brooklyn, thanks to new luxury units. The most affordable rental apartments are being seen in Bay Ridge. Among the most notable stats over the last month was the 13.9% jump in Cobble Hill studio rental prices.   Month over month, overall Brooklyn rents have moved up. Price per square foot reversed previous trends as rose 8.5% in February. Listing inventory fell another 4.2%, and days on market slide further, by over 11% to just 31 days on average.   Year over year, Brooklyn rental prices are still relatively flat. The number of leases being signed are up again this month. This is likely directly linked to an over 30% increase in concessions over last year.   Overall: New leases are down by over 15.1%% OP + Concessions are up 31.8% Negotiability and discounts fell by just under 1% Inventory levels dropped by over 21% And marketing time has dropped to 31 days   This data may be very encouraging landlords after several months of softness. Landlords do appear to be responding to recent softness with stronger offers for new tenants. Lower inventory levels should keep a good balance and leasing activity over the next few months as we warm up for the busy summer season.   Now let’s take a look at rentals by unit type:   For studios The average price per foot is down slightly to $56 average unit size is up slightly to 532 square feet 30 studios are No Fee, and 127 are Fee apartments Month over month changes saw rents fall 5.6%, though the price per square foot soared by 44%. And year over year rents are down 0.9%   Renters paid around $6 more per square foot for no fee studio rentals last month.   Having on-site laundry facilities in the building made a positive difference of $2 per square foot in February. Units with elevators rented for $301 per month more than walk-up units last month. Gyms are still one of the top amenities tenants are looking for. They added an average of around $400 per month to rents last month. Units with full-time lobby attendance are renting for almost $660 a month more. Less, than last month, though we could see even more digital and virtual assistants and doormen close this gap. There was only a minor premium for outdoor space.   For 1 bedrooms... The average price per foot is down slightly at $42 The average unit size is down again, to 715 square feet 8 1 beds were No Fee, versus 236 Fee apartments Month over month change rents are up 3.6% year over year rents are down 3.1%   No fee 1 bedrooms rented for $8 more per square foot than fee apartments last month. Having a laundry in the building saw 1 beds renting for $6 more per square foot Units with NO private outdoor space are renting for around $30 less per month The difference in rents for elevator versus walk-up units is $1 per square foot Units with gyms rented for $9 more per square foot last month. Buildings with full-time lobby attendants are renting for almost $400 more per month than those without attendants.   Now on to 2 bedroom rentals… The average 2 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn now rents for $3,088 The average price per foot is $42 average unit size is 952 square feet 13, 2 bedroom apartments were No Fee rentals, versus 232 Fee rentals Month over month rents are up 4.1% But year over year they are down 0.1%   Having a laundry in the building can add almost $300 per month to the rent. Those with private outdoor spaces rented for $3 more per square foot A 2 bedroom with a gym in the building is getting $10 more per square foot Those with full-time lobby attendant are renting for over $1,000 more per month. There is around a $600 premium for elevator versus walk-up apartments.   For 3 bedroom apartments the average price per foot is flat at $42 The average unit size is 1,219 square foot 1, 3 bedroom rental was No Fee, versus 91 rentals with Fee Month over month rents are down 1.2% year over year rents are UP 16.1%   No FEE apartments rented for almost $6,500 less than fee apartments last month. Those with gyms rented for $20 more per square foot. Having a laundry in the building can make a $16 difference per rent per square foot Expect to get as much almost $1,000 more per month for units with private outdoor space Elevator apartments rented for $15 more per square foot last month Having a full-time lobby attendant made a $20 per square foot difference, with total monthly rent almost $3,400 more for 3 bedroom units in these buildings   In summary… What the break down in this data shows Brooklyn landlords, is that the market is still strong, but concessions may still need to be offered to rent faster. A new dip in inventory levels could mean better conditions over the next few months.   One of the biggest changes in February was the year over year leap in 3 bedroom rental prices. The following growth in the 3bedrooms rental market, suggesting that contrary to some media suggestions, NY renters actually want more space.   Other notable changes show a shift in demand and acceleration of rents to emerging and affordable areas.

Check the full version of these reports and individual reports at: https://www.newyorkmarketreports.com   This episode is brought to you by: http://www.theratnerteam.com   Welcome to the Brooklyn Multi-Family Sales Real Estate Market Report for the third quarter of 2017. Whether you already own or you’re looking to buy into the City’s fastest growing market, we’ll keep you up to date. You’re listening to New York’s Real Estate Market Update from the Ratner Team. Brooklyn, while home to huge venues such as the Barclays Center and countless shops and restaurants, still remains a primarily residential borough. While not as drastic as Manhattan, Brooklyn’s Multifamily market declined from last year’s reports, with sales volume this quarter coming out at $1.2 billion – a 10 percent decline from 2016. Square-footage pricing did increase to $430 dollars on average, up 18 percent from last year’s quarter. The average selling price per unit across Brooklyn was $390,000 dollars, which is a 20 percent increase from this time last year; however, the total transactions in the third quarter were down 15 percent from last year, recorded at just 473. While the overall Multifamily market is trending lower than in the past, Brooklyn top sales still don’t disappoint. In 2017’s third quarter, our top sale of $141,500,000 was in Prospect Park South neighborhood at 130 East 18th Street, coming in at $559 per foot for a total of 253,265 square feet. That price, however, won’t buy you many square feet in the most opulent neighborhoods of Brooklyn. The top ten most expensive neighborhoods this quarter were as follows: Cobble Hill, home to independent shops, young families and schools, tops off the list at an average of $1,152 per square foot. Carroll Gardens comes in second at $1,065, with Boerum Hill coming in third at $690. Park Slope listed at $690 per square foot, Brooklyn Heights at $684, Gowanus at $652, Williamsburg at $622, Clinton Hill at $620, Prospect Heights at $591 and, tenth but certainly not least, the Bushwick area averaged in at $570 per square foot. Of all the neighborhoods, Bed-Stuy had the highest volume of Multifamily sales this quarter again at 54, with East New York following up with 38 sales. If you’re hunting for a deal, East Flatbush’s average price per square foot this quarter was a mere $183.   - If you like this information, the best way you can support us is with a 5-star rating. Share it with someone you know, and subscribe.

Check the full version of these reports and individual reports at: https://www.newyorkmarketreports.com   This episode is brought to you by: http://www.theratnerteam.com   Welcome to the newest New York Real Estate Market Update Here we dig into the latest data and trends to find out what is really happening in the local Brooklyn rental market to help landlords, real estate investors, and developers make the smartest financial moves. So, what’s new in New York Real Estate? Let’s take a look at the numbers… Month over month, Brooklyn is seeing a seasonal price correction continue. Rents are down an average of just over 1% since last month. The best performers still include Cobble Hill, and Bay Ridge. Brooklyn Heights and Clinton Hill have moved up with strong performances. DUMBO holds the title for most expensive apartments in Brooklyn, thanks to new luxury units. The most affordable rental apartments are being found in Bay Ridge. DUMBO studio prices rose 8.7% in the last month, or an average of $253. However, 1 and 2 bedroom apartment prices in DUMBO fell by almost as much. Month over month, overall Brooklyn rents have fallen to an average of $2,751.80 per month. Still, price per square foot is up slightly, inventory is down, and days on market have dipped to just 39. Year over year, Brooklyn rental prices may be softer, and there may be more concessions, but there are positive trends too. Overall: New leases are up by 13.6% OP + Concessions are up 7.2% Negotiability is now flat Inventory levels are down 11.9% And marketing time has dropped by 4 days If you look at this trending data on the graph charts, landlords should note that this is likely to be the one of the best moments to sign new leases. At least until mid-2018. This is due to seasonal rental price dips and peaks. If you have vacant units, it is time to fill them. If leases are signed in Oct through Feb, consider signing 15 to 19 month leases to get the units back during the best rental months to get the highest possible rent due to high seasonal demand. Now let’s take a look at rentals by unit type: For studios Average price per foot is down to $52 average unit size is 623 square feet Average Days on the market is 31 days 33 studios are No Fee, and 121 are Fee apartments Month over month changes saw rents down 1.5% And year over year rents are down 1.3% Renters can currently expect to pay almost $543 more per month for no fee studio rentals, than those with fees. 1 bathrooms are currently renting for around $7 more per square foot than those with an extra half bath. Having on-site laundry facilities in the building can increase rents by over $200 a month. Units with private outdoor space, rent for around $300 more per month Units with elevators are averaging around $230 more per month than walk-up units. Gyms are still one of the top amenities tenants are looking for. They can add an average of $500 per month to rents. Tenants are now paying around $500 more per month in buildings which have a full-time lobby attendant. A substantial increase over last month. In all, we are seeing a big premium being put on gyms, attended lobbies, and outdoor space. For 1 bedrooms... Average price per foot is up to $48 The average unit size is down to 695 square feet Average Days on the market is up to 53 Just 37 1 beds were No Fee, versus 207 Fee apartments Month over month change rents are, down 0.5% year over year rents are down 2.1% No fee 1 bedrooms rented for $1 per square foot than fee apartments last month. Having a laundry in the building saw 1 beds renting for $5 more per square foot Units with NO private outdoor space actually rented for slightly more per last month too The difference in rents for elevator versus walk-up units is $7 per square foot Units with gyms rented for $5 more per square foot last month. Buildings with full time lobby attendants are renting for $509 more per month Now on to 2 bedroom rentals… The average 2 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn now rents for $3,063. Average price per foot is $38 average unit size is 1,031 square feet Average Days on the market is 48 days Just 9, 2 bedroom apartments for No Fee rentals, versus 240 Fee rentals Month over month rents are down 1.3% But year over year they are up 3% Units with an extra bath or half bath rented for $600 to $900 more month than 1 bath units Having a laundry in the building can add $10 per month to the rent. Those with private outdoor spaces rented for $3 more per square foot A 2 bedroom with a gym in the building is getting $13 more per square foot Those with full time doorman are renting for over $600 more per month. There is around a $400 premium for elevator versus walk-up apartments. There is very little difference between 2 bedroom fee or no fee apartments, pet friendly ones, or short or long term rentals. For 3 bedroom apartments the average price per foot is $39 The average unit size is 1,254 square foot Average Days on the market sits at 51 days Just 12, 3 bedroom rentals were No Fee, versus 84 rentals with Fee Month over month rents are UP 6.3% year over year rents are UP 6.8% No FEE apartments rented for $2 more per square foot than fee apartments last month. Those with gyms rented for $11 more per square foot. 1.5 bath units actually rented for $7 per square foot less than 1 bath units last month! Though expect to get $9 to $17 more per square foot if you go all the way up to a 3 or 3.5 bath unit. Having a laundry in the building can make a $5 difference per rent per square foot Expect to get $3 more per month for units with private outdoor space Elevator apartments rented for almost $5 more per square foot last month Having a full time lobby attendant made almost a $11 per square foot difference, with total monthly rent almost over $1,000 more for 3 bedroom units in these buildings In summary… What the break down in this data shows Brooklyn landlords, is that there is a notable seasonal correction in play. Certain features offer little benefit, but others are commanding even bigger premiums. Consider these adjustments when renovating buildings, or developing new ones, so that you are maximizing ROI at every level. As we go through these seasonal changes, and look at how some property types are accelerating, while others have cooled off, some investors may find this the opportune moment to restructure portfolios to capitalize on the best yields and growth ahead. Though it appears many are being more realistic about the overall market and how competitive it is today, and are pricing that in to their asking prices.

Susan Bee's paintings and collages have been described as "pastoral psychedelia," and "a savage mix of Expressionism and Pop schadenfreude." Born and raised in New York City by artist parents, Bee is a longtime supporter of feminist art and women artists. She spent her student days in the 1970s attending AIR Gallery events; she later joined the historic gallery and is currently a member. Bee is also a co-founder, with fellow artist and writer Mira Schor, of the influential art journal M/E/A/N/I/N/G (1986 - 2016). During our visit to her Cobble Hill, Brooklyn studio, Bee discussed the challenging realities of being a woman artist, the heady days of 1970s feminist activism, and her longtime involvement with the Language Poets, through her husband, Charles Bernstein. For more on this episode, and to see images of Bee's work, visit our website at www.magicpraxis.com.

Brooklyn-based artist Jean Shin talks about: Gradually turning her Hudson Valley barn originally bought for art storage into a summer/weekend retreat; her extensive experiences with Brooklyn real estate including living and working in spaces all over Brooklyn, and leveraging various mortgages – starting with a "tiny" apartment in Carroll Gardens, before eventually buying a 1000 sq. foot storefront studio in Red Hook and a slightly larger apartment in Cobble Hill with her husband, leaving her settled (as long as there isn't another hurricane); her massive public art project for the 63rd Street stop of the new 2nd Avenue Subway line in New York, including the $1 million dollar budget (which was comprehensive for fabrication, design, materials, etc.- she didn't even earn 1% of that herself after all was said and done), and what it was like interacting with the public as the murals etc. were being installed…it was a project she worked on from 2010 thru the end of 2016; her working in labor intensive projects (with discarded ephemera), and the process of collaborating with museum curators as well as various assistants, including learning to trust the process of working with collaborators, and even trusting them enough to give them keys to the studio; and what it's like serving on the board of the Joan Mitchell Foundation, addressing inequity where possible along the way.

On the premiere episode of The Line, host Eli Sussman is joined in the studio by Zahra Tangorra, former head chef/owner of Brucie, which was a Cobble Hill destination from 2010 until closing its doors this past February. Tune in to hear her discuss growing up in her parents' specialty food and catering shop on the North Shore of Long Island (the Lovin' Oven), the miracle that led to her becoming a professional chef, and the challenges of running a successful restaurant for five years. Currently, Zahra is focusing her creative energies on High Five Girl, a feminist lifestyle blog, as well as an in-demand restaurant consulting and catering team.

Cat Greenleaf is interviewed by Taina Evans at Talk Stoop in Cobble Hill on August 8th, 2016.

Pop Etc's Chris Chu and I go on a Cobble Hill bar crawl, stopping for drinks at the Long Island Bar and Henry Public.  Chu reveals how seeing Elliott Smith in concert made him realize that an artist's success isn't necessarily tied to their own happiness.  Instead, Chris' hope is that people will listen to Pop Etc and bond their personal experiences to it, which is why the band's latest album is called Souvenir.  With a tune in the final scene of the final Twilight movie and couples asking him to use his songs for their weddings, he's getting his wish. popetcetera.com drypaintsigns.com
