I picked up a copy of Edible Brooklyn at Tempo Presto on Seventh Avenue. I’d never seen it before although the name was familiar. It’s a seasonal magazine celebrating the borough’s food culture. The winter 2007 issue is the magazine’s fourth. I guess I missed the other three.

I really enjoyed this issue with its article about Al Di La, with a recipe for Winter White Salad and great photographs of Anna, Emiliano, and the staff.

I loved the piece by Dan Zanes about the contents of his refrigerator. It really made me laugh the way he wrote it and it’s filled with great ideas and comments about Cobble Hill Honey, Wilklow Orchard cider, panettone, Marriage Freres tea and more.

Find out what Dan says about the Food Coop (he LOVES it but is no longer a member), where he shops now (Fairway), and his affection for Brooklyn (despite the Atlantic Yards problem).

Also, a great article about the best donuts in Brooklyn.
