Drunken Bananas
The recipe for this decadent treat comes to us from Peter’s mother. Growing up there were always two important ingredients in the house: bananas and vanilla ice cream.
We hope that this Pioppo family favorite recipe will become one of yours, give it a try next time someone asks, “What’s for dessert?”
A note for parents or those who wish to avoid alcohol:
While most of the alcohol should burn off, there will be a bit left in the final product. It’s not much, but if ...

Manny’s Margarita
Who loves a fresh Margarita? Everyone at the Studio! This is our go to recipe cocktail after a long hot day on the set. He learned a variant of this recipe from his good friend Mr. Springman. The key to this recipe is using silver (clear) tequila, your favorite high end orange liqueur and freshly squeezed limes and oranges, which both brightens and naturally sweetens the cocktail. Blood oranges are a great choice if they’re in season as they tend to have a nice tartness and add a ...
Manny’s Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes
Over the years, Manny has consistently won our studio pancake breakfast challenge. Here’s one of the recipes that has won our hearts and bellies. Its wholesome, features whole grains and fresh fruit and even yogurt! We guarantee you won't be disappointed. Bonus: if you have kids – these pancakes reheat beautifully from frozen with the use of a toaster, making them easy to serve any day of the week, especially if you have kids.
Farmer’s Market Gin & Tonic
Gin and tonics are well and good but we don’t usually reach for one here at the studio unless its this one. After one, typically everyone wants a second. After the third, things start to get messy. We had a drink similar to this years ago at one of our favorite Pizzeria’s, Franny’s in Brooklyn, and we’ve been drinking them ever since.
Lastly, if you haven't tried using an upscale tonic like Q Tonic or artisanal gin like DH Krahn's - to make your gin and tonics.... treat yourself ...
