    Eat This, Drink That: Chocolate Chess Pie and Strawberry Gin Smash

    Summer is in full swing here in New York, which means one thing: We do our Eating and Drinking in the comfort of Zelda’s apartment with central A/C, because no one wants to turn on an oven in Scout’s apartment (a location which is currently a temperature roughly akin to the sixth circle of hell).…

    Eat This, Drink That: Hot Fudge Bourbon Milkshakes

    Dear readers, we know you didn’t get an “Eat This, Drink That” last month, and we really didn’t want to disappoint again this month. But truth be told, y’all, we’re busy. We’ve been adulting hard-core lately, and bopping about from Brooklyn to Louisville and beyond, and it hasn’t left us a lot of time to…

    Eat This, Drink That: Bourbon Ball Cupcakes and Lillies For Fillies

    As is customary come April here on Zelda & Scout (and in our lives in general), we have entered full-on Derby mode. Now we’ve already visited the two biggest culinary traditions of Derby (aka juleps and pie) on the blog, but there are still plenty of thematic treats left to share with you! On the…

    Eat This, Drink That: Benedictine and Bee’s Knees

    The weather has finally warmed up here in the city, and we are SO EXCITED. Accordingly, for this month’s Eat This, Drink That, we decided to fully embrace the impending blooming season and cook up some food and drink to refresh and renew us with the flavors of spring. On the food side, we’re running…

    Eat This, Drink That: Rosemary Shortbread and Salty Dogs

    This month for Eat This, Drink That, we are switching things up! Scout was hankering to make a cocktail, and Zelda was ready to get back to her love of baking, so we decided to pull a blog Freaky Friday and go back to our comfort zones for a post. Scout picked up the shaker,…

  • Eat This, Drink That: Angel Food Cake and French 75

    Eat This, Drink That: Angel Food Cake and French 75

    Most of Scout’s food-based memories come from one of her grandmothers. So when choosing something to make for this month’s Eat This, Drink That, she looked back on all those memories, running from the car as they pulled up to the old A-frame cabin on the lake and sprinting into the long narrow kitchen to find…

    Eat This Drink That: Fried Chicken, Rosemary Gimlets, and a Special Guest!

    This month, we bring you a very special “Eat This, Drink That.” Normally, we pick a theme for the month’s post, find an appropriate recipe, and then muddle through as best we can, with Google as our sous chef. But this month, we brought in the professionals for a real schooling in one of the…

    Eat This, Drink That: Pulled Pork & Hot Toddies

    This month’s installment of Eat This, Drink That was a bit of a doozy for Scout. While she’s not a frequent cook, she’s pretty good at following recipes when the occasion arises. But when it comes to preparing meat, most recipes expect you to have some previous experience in the matter, which she does not.…

  • Eat This, Drink That: Applepalooza

    Eat This, Drink That: Applepalooza

    Fall is upon us! As we’ve said before, it is absolutely our favorite quarter of the year. The air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and apples are ripe for the harvesting. Zelda recently took a trip out of the city to pick some of said apples, and so we decided it was only appropriate…

    Eat This, Drink That: Cobbler and Old Fashioneds

    Our lives have been increasingly busy as of late. Zelda is settling into a new home with new roommates and a new commute. Scout is settling into a new (additional) job and juggling three side projects. So we have to schedule our lives pretty far in advance, including our Eat This, Drink That cooking ventures.…
