Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Foreword by Tiffani Thiessen Ahhhhhh, the ’90s. Or, as I tell my kids, the glorious days of stone-washed denim, see-through phones that plugged directly into the wall, and the best compact music machine ever created: the Walkman. Between the music, the movies, the fashion, and THE HAIR!, the ’90s feel like they were a lifetime ago, and yet so much of what we love from then seems like it never went away. It was an iconic decade for a lot of reasons, and I love any chance to revisit it. The ’90s have an extra-special place in my heart. I think it’s because our generation is obsessed with nostalgia. I am, too—and that’s why I’m so into this book! I’m delighted that people like John deBary are paying such loving tribute to the ’90s, even thirty years later. It is a joy to revisit this magical decade in the form of these clever, delicious (and hilarious!) cocktail recipes. I love using food and drinks to connect: with friends, family—even with ourselves. I’ve loved cooking and entertaining ever since I was little. I always made feasts and baked during the holidays with my mom and all the women in my family. Years later I had the opportunity to take the leap into unscripted television. My show Dinner at Tiffani’s was unlike anything I’d ever done before, but it showcased how I really love to spend my time—and heck, I got paid for it, too! I was honored to write my first cookbook, Pull Up a Chair, to be able to share my love of cooking with even more people. The book has a whole chapter on no-sweat entertaining. Particularly when it comes to cocktails, I’m inspired by the classics, but I’m also constantly thinking of ways I can reinvent them for fun occasions. So you can see how Saved by the Bellini is a unique blend of my interests! This book is a brilliant walk down memory lane, from the shows and movies we were watching to the games we were playing to the clothes we were sporting and even to the snacks we were eating after school.
