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 230: The CSA Cookbook May 31, 2015

Show notes

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs have connected farms to consumers and made people more in tune with where their food comes from, but still leave many stumped beyond the conventional uses for their produce. This week on Eat Your Words, host Cathy Erway is chatting with Linda Ly, author of “The CSA Cookbook” to try and shed some light on this problem. According to Linda, her book seeks to help you cook your way through a CSA box (or farmers’ market or backyard bounty) with 105 seasonal recipes that utilize every edible part of the plant, from leaves and flowers to stems and seeds. Think of it as a nose-to-tail approachâ€”for vegetables!
Highlights include tomatoes and peppers, leafy greens, peas and beans, bulbs and stems, roots and tubers, melons and gourds, and flowers and herbs. Tune in and look at your veggies in a whole new way! This program was brought to you by Whole Foods Market.

“I had a CSA years ago, long before I ever had a garden… I thought it was a great idea to try and support small farms and be more familiar with vegetables that I don’t often cook with.”

“I’m always looking for new ways to prepare all of the vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers that I bring in [from my garden].”
