Brooklyn's food and drink makers, restaurateurs and bartenders, storefronts and lab kitchens, and food trucks are changing the way we eat and drink by bringing back old techniques and recipes, and creating new ones that focus on small-batch, hand-crafted production, be they savory or sweet, distilled, brewed, or roasted.
Made in Brooklyn is the first book to catalog the immense variety of food and drink items available in the trailblazing borough, featuring approximately 120 different Brooklyn makers, each profiled in depth, with sumptuous photography depicting the artisans' craft and methods with personal histories, origins, anecdotes, tips, a few recipes, and more. Each Brooklyn maker will be featured on a double-page spread with exclusive images from their kitchens and work spaces.
Made in Brooklyn will also contain portraits of Brooklynites who propelled the Brooklyn food and drink makers' scene such as Eric Demby and Jonathan Butler, founders of the Brooklyn Flea and Smorgasburg; Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Carlo A. Scissura, whose new Brooklyn Made certification program was just launched to authenticate bona-fide makers in the borough; and former Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowtiz, who really needs no introduction.
