The 4-1-1 on Cold Turkey:
Cold Turkey was founded in 2008 by three college students who found that living on a student budget in New York City often meant cold leftovers, takeaway Thai three or more times a week, or 89 cent ramen.
Here at CT, we believe that cooking and enjoying food shouldn't have to be an expensive, intimidating, or stressful ordeal. Nor should you have to put your health on the line, because trust us, trips to the ER have proved to be faintly disappointing. (There are no hot doctors, contrary to what Grey's might tell you.) Cooking in a dorm room kitchen or in a tiny studio apartment is definitely possible, with the right tools and knowledge.
Every Sunday night, we'll post a simple recipe that we've tried (and hopefully succeeded) making over the past week, along with a step-by-step video. Check back periodically during the week, though, because we'll also be putting up useful tips, budget restaurant and bar recommendations, and general advice on obtaining good deals in the city.
Your contributors are:
Jasmine "Wu Chan Clan" Chan
Jasmine hails from Los Angeles, California (Cali Caliente!!), but spent most of her childhood in Hong Kong, which exposed her to an almost encyclopedic knowledge of both Eastern and Western styles of food and drink. She will be Cold Turkey's top chef, guiding you through delicious and straightforward recipes, provided her smoke detector doesn't go off. Again.
Jasmine currently majors in History, with an minor in East Asian Studies. She has aspirations to attend law school, but is trying to work out whether she has the effort required to apply. She enjoys cats, gin and tonics, watching BBC shows like Top Gear, and long walks on the beach.
And foreign films.
Eshanya "Downtown Browntown" Karle
Eshanya is from a far, faraway place called Bangalore, India. She decided that pursuing a degree in Economics and Political Science was worth braving the 18-hour flight to New York, and has been wreaking havoc south of 14th street ever since. Eshanya decided that good cooking was something to be interested in, following an unfortunate obsession with plain white rice in her freshman year. She will be contributing to Cold Turkey regularly with insights on cheap eats and good deals in the city.
She enjoys growing mutant garlic plants, plotting the eventual demise of all birds, and Earl Grey tea with milk. Her favorite band is Incubus, and not just because of Brandon Boyd.
Vanessa "In A Cup" Harris
Cold Turkey's resident almost-vegan, Vanessa grew up in Castro Valley, California, which is famed for having the most fast-food restaurants on one street. This explains her slight aversion towards overly processed foods. Ever since her sophomore year, Vanessa has perfected the art of making bread, and everything else, in a cup. This is useful information for anyone living in a very small space, or if you don't own any bowls. She will be contributing healthy recipes and budgeting tips.
Vanessa majors in Recorded Music and minors in Creative Writing. She is always singing. Always. In her free time, she can be spotted practicing guitar, feeding her obsession with NPR, and walking everywhere.
Stay warm, and Happy Eating!
Cheers,
The CT Team
