In 1981, Sarabeth and Bill Levine opened a small bakery and jam shop on Manhattan’sUpper West Side. Customers loved it, not only because the baked goods were incredible, but because they could watch the delicious jams being cooked in a kettle and then ladled into jars. The fabulous aroma permeating Amsterdam Avenue lured tons of customers into the tiny space, so Sarabeth put in some tables and started serving breakfast and lunch.

Now there are Sarabeth’s restaurants all over town and (a very long subway stop away) in Key West, Florida.

Penelope especially loves Sarabeth’s Peach-Apricot preserves for rolling up in triangles of leftover pastry dough to make Penelope Pieletts. Find out more about Sarabeth’s Kitchen at www.sarabethskitchen.com
