Cocktails for Your Coven: Madame Leota’s Magic Potion
Well lovely readers, it’s that time of year again — the best time of year — when the crisp air creates just enough chill to spook us all a little bit. And when October rolls around, us Kentucky girls like to channel our inner mountain witches and cook up some potions to ease our ills. My…

All The Fixin’s: Shrimp Creole
This week’s recipe was cooked under trying circumstances, dear readers. For starters, the day was sweltering. Zelda’s normally lovely flat was invaded by flies too big to be discussed here without shuddering. Her air conditioning struggled to battle the monstrous heat. It was, to be frank, not pretty, and we were all on edge. But…

Blueberry-Lavender Champagne Punch
Hey y’all. So this week was supposed to bring you another installment of All the Fixin’s, the series where we cook our way through our respective Southern heritages.

Welcome back to All the Fixin’s! We are still waiting for spring to arrive here in New York: There was a brief respite from cold…followed quickly by a nor’easter. Suffice it to say, it’s still quite brisk. No matter! We are of the firm belief that every season is pie season! And there were many…

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).…

Fourth of July Fruit Tart
The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and from Berkeley to Brooklyn folks will be celebrating our nation’s independence the American way: with lots and lots of food. Every cook-out is bound to have some of standards — your burgers, your hot dogs, your potato salad, maybe even an apple pie — but…

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…
