Lara MPost Punk Kitchen
November 2nd 2006 12:02
I have always been a fan of community TV. It’s usually fun and raw and unpretentious. Post Punk Kitchen is a cute little show produced in Brooklyn by a couple of sexy young girls with great taste (in clothes as well as food).
They say, “We've always loved cooking shows but they tend to be gross,” so what better reason to start your own? Like good socially conscious post punks they specialise in vegetarian and vegan cooking. They make all sorts of delightful treats including vegan cupcakes and ice cream which I believe is always of interest to Vegans who are trying to spice up their diet with a variety of tasty flavours.
The show is hosted by Isa Moskowitz and Terry Romero. They have a low budget, early Jamie Oliver style that works really well as the hosts are pretty relaxed and genuine. There’s usually a theme like Passover, Valentine’s Day or Mexican and each episode they also feature a local alternative band and talk to them about food and cooking.
Isa and Terry have also produced a cool book called ‘Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World’, so naturally I’m excited. It features recipes for every kind of cupcake imaginable, including tiramisu, coconut-lime and green tea. All illustrated with colourful, mouth watering photography. There’s a free recipe featured on the site for chai latte cupcakes. And as if that isn’t enough they even host a cupcake blog! Yes it’s true! Dedicated to all things cupcake!
