Make PDT’s Bacon-Infused Old-fashioned at Home

In the magazine this week, maple syrup was a key ingredient in the "In Season" recipe. Don Lee of PDT may use maple syrup to make his old-fashioned, but we couldn't get past the bacon-infused bourbon that is the base of the drink. Bacon? Bourbon? We're in. And since we took our camera to PDT yesterday to watch Lee prepare the drink himself, we can all practice at home. Frequently.

In Season Video: Trois Pommes Patisserie's Hamantaschen

The rhubarb-hamantaschen recipe in this week’s "In Season" recipe look so good in this video demonstration that we resent all the bad prune cookies in our past. So appealing are Emily Isaac’s version from Troie Pommes Patisserie in Park Slope that we might just start celebrating Purim again.
