Dining, Mad Men Style
Each week, we not only get together to watch the latest antics of Don, Peggy, Roger, and Betty, but we also eat and drink like it's 1964. A recent menu involved a champagne jello salad, meatloaf, and Grasshopper Pie, complete with hors d'oeuvres of a cheeseball with Ritz crackers, celery sticks with cream cheese, and green olives with pimientos. The following titles contain some vintage recipes to help you get dining and entertaining a la Mad Men:
- Vintage Cocktails
- Classic American Food Without Fuss
- American Food Writing: An Anthology with Classic Recipes
- Jell-O: A Biography
- Gastroanomalies: Questionable Culinary Creations from the Golden Age of American Cookery
- I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence

Of course, you can check out previous seasons of Mad Men, along with the soundtracks:
