This is a review for The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook Published By Judy Gelman and Peter Zheutlin. I received a copy of The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook in exchange for this review. The thoughts in the review are all mine and mine alone.
My family has followed Mad Men for years. I let Charlie and David know about The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook they couldn’t wait for our copy to arrive.
As soon as The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook arrived Charlie opened The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook. We sat down as a family to thumb through the illustrations and we had fun seeing the things inside The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook. David was even trying to read The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook on his own. Which meant this cookbook was a hit because David doesn’t like to read because he struggles with reading and people make fun of him.
Once we finished reading The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook Charlie and David couldn’t wait to host a dinner party in our home using the recipes inside/ Charlie and David wanted me to ask if you would like to come to dinner as we prepare Sal’s Spaghetti and Meatballs and Lindy’s Cherry Cheesecake.

About: Judy Gelman
Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp are cooks, book enthusiasts and friends. Seeking to combine their passion for books, food, and book clubs, they met over stacks of books and endless cups of coffee at a local sandwich shop, where THE BOOK CLUB COOKBOOK was born. The first cookbook for book clubs, THE BOOK CLUB COOKBOOK has become a classic guide to pairing food and literature. The revised edition of THE BOOK CLUB COOKBOOK was released in 2012.
Judy and Vicki were motivated to write their second book, THE KIDS’ BOOK CLUB BOOK, after librarians, parents, and teachers who attended their talks asked for a similar book for the growing number of youth book clubs across the country.
Their third book, TABLE OF CONTENTS features book related recipes from fifty of today’s most popular authors.
Judy and Vicki enjoy speaking about book clubs and appreciate their ongoing conversations, both in person and via their websites, with book and food enthusiasts across the country.
They live with their families in the Boston area.
