Eat Your Words Presents: Saved by the Bellini

Since 2009, Eat Your Words has covered what’s new and happening in the world of food through its literature. A radio dispatch from Cathy Erway, founder of the blog Not Eating Out In New York, Cathy was joined by authors of books that you would want to eat up! From colorful cookbooks, to food memoirs, to exposés on the food industry, every conversation is full of meaty topics for discussion.

Now, in 2023, Eat Your Words is proud to present its first limited-run series. We’ve partnered with John deBary, author of “Drink What You Want,” to create a companion podcast that dives deep into the production of his newest cocktail book. “Saved by the Bellini” is all about 90’s nostalgia. “Saved by the Bellini” includes over 65 recipes that celebrate the decade’s greatest pop culture moments, from cassette tape tunes and video game consoles to after-school snacks and OMG-it’s-back-again fashion. In this 7-episode series, John interviews the editors, illustrators, and cocktail innovators who helped to make this book a reality.

Episode 258: Ashley Warlick on M.F.K. Fisher Feb 28, 2016

Show notes

On this week's episode of Eat Your Words, Cathy welcomes guest Ashley Warlick, author of The Arrangement. The new book is a work of historical fiction about legendary food writer M.F.K. Fisher, who John Updike referred to a “poet of the appetites.” In Raymond Sokolov’s 1982 review of Fisher's As They Were, he wrote: “In a properly run culture, Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher would be recognized as one of the great writers this country has produced in this century.” Through writing The Arrangement, Warlick hopes to introduce a new audience to the hungry, sensual, stubborn character who was M.F.K. Fisher.

Episode 257: Mesrak Mekonnen on Ethiopian Cuisine Feb 21, 2016

Show notes

Konjit Zewge, at the age of 89, documented her succulent dishes in her book Yemouya Kouncho. She wrote her book for the sole purpose of passing the art of preparing traditional Ethiopian cuisine to the next generation. Her parents' home was always filled with extended family, neighbors and other visitors who delighted in the savory dishes. Running the household was traditionally the women's job and learning how to prepare food started at an early age. As an ardent student, Zewge made it a point to write down procedures, the various ingredients and amount used in recipes. Her book has been translated to English by her daughter, Mesrak Mekonnen. Mekonnen lives in San Francisco.

Episode 256: Bread, Wine, Chocolate: The Slow Loss of Foods We Love Feb 14, 2016

Show notes

Bread, Wine, Chocolate: The Slow Loss of Foods We Love – part memoir of a journey to six continents in pursuit of delicious and endangered tastes, part investigation of the loss of biodiversity from soil to plate – tells the story of what we are losing, how we are losing it, and the inspiring people and places that are bringing back the foods we love. This week on Eat Your Words, host Cathy Erway is in studio with author Simran Sethi talking how in America today, food often looks and tastes the same, whether at a San Francisco farmers market or at a Midwestern potluck. Shockingly, 95% of the world’s calories now come from only thirty species. Though supermarkets seem to be stocked with endless options, the differences between products are superficial, primarily in flavor and brand. Tune in for an enlightening conversation and learn what it takes to save the tastes that connect us with the world around us.
