Cook.Eat.Drink.Live 2009

A few weekends ago we rounded up a group of our classiest (and hungriest) friends we knew and attended Cook.Eat.Drink.Live: “a three-day modern food and wine event at The Tunnel & La.Venue (608 West 28th Street), featuring a large sampling of ultra-premium gourmet foods and spirits, plus appearances from some of the city’s premier chefs.” The space was warm and cozy, with open brick walls and dim lighting, and packed with people!  Nevertheless, we managed to eat + drink ourselves silly!  Here are some of our group favorites.

  • Smooth, sweet, and creamy Rum Chata
  • Pesto Mac & Cheese from Cabot Creamery
  • Blueberry Pesto and Prosciutto & Smoked Almond Pesto by Pestos with Panache by Lauren
  • Rocky Road Mini-Cheesecake by Eileens Special Cheesecake
  • Natsumi’s House-made Silken Tofu with Dashi broth
  • Mushroom Risotto by Executive Chef Bill McDaniel of The Red Cat
  • Salmon and avocado sushi from the Italian/Japanese Restaurant whose-name-I-forget
  • Chocolate canolis by Ferrara Bakery
  • the Fiery Almond by Kara Newman (drink recipe)
  • Rose Regale, Banfi Vintners
  • NY Strip steak from Debragga
  • Wanted: Mocha Double Chocolate Chunk Bundt cake by the Great Spirits Baking Company
  • Whoopie Pies by WannaHavaCookie

    Are you saying I’m not one of your classiest friends?!?! I feel shocked and betrayed :) That sounds awesome…although it also sounds like a LOT to take in, even over 3 days

  • I’m honored that The Fiery Almond made your short list – I know how many wonderful things there were to eat and drink at the show! Thanks for coming to the cocktail demo.
