"I am a huge fan of Mad Men, so when my eye caught the spine of this gem, I could not have been more excited. This is not just your typical cook book.  Gelman and Zheutlin somehow found a way to tie in a history of New York City, an episode guide to Mad Men, stunning photographs, and a fantastic collection of recipes.  I have never read a cookbook from cover to cover, but this one made me feel like I was getting so much out of it, I couldn't put it down.  Not only do the recipes sound fantastic for a viewing party or retro night, but it also offers plenty of information for your next conversation starter.  This book just has so many fine points, it is impossible to fit them all into one review.  I can't wait for the next episode.  My kitchen will certainly be churning out some good food and some classic cocktails."
