CFDA Cooks

I know, I was shocked too, considering the fashion world's known affinity towards all things crunchable & muchable (I jest, carrot sticks count, right?). Well, I've been proven wrong because upwards of 100 designers have volunteered their favorite recipes to be a part of a forthcoming CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) cookbook. The book is slated for release in September & will feature a forward by food & lifestyle mastermind/mogul Martha Stewart. Editor, Lisa Marsh, explains that this collection is intended "to bring these recipes to life for the reader," while CFDA executive director Steven Kolb describes this colab as "hybrid artbook-cookbook."

Despite my gripes on the fashion industry's fickle relationship with food this sounds like a promising project. Diet tips, this book is not. Zac Posen contributes a family butterscotch cookie recipe, Cynthia Rowley shares a recipe for mac & cheese, albeit with truffles (mmm, good call!), & Carolina Herrera doles out her thoughts on pommes toupinel. Looks like they can talk the talk, we'll see if they can walk the walk. Or should I say eat?
