How to Make Carol’s Beet, Acorn, and Water Chestnut Cookies From ‘The Walking Dead’


In the latest episode of “Binging with Babish,” a cooking series where home chef Andrew Rea recreates memorable foods from films and TV shows, Andrew demonstrates how to prepare a show accurate and a slightly improved version of Carol Peletier’s beat and acorn cookies from AMC’s post-apocalyptic horror series, The Walking Dead. In the video below, Andrew gets a hilarious lesson on foraging for food from comedian and nature lover, Ashwin Ramdas.

“When you think of The Walking Dead, the word “appetizing” certainly doesn’t come to mind. It’s no surprise then that Carol Peletier’s foraged cookies are earthy, doughy, ugly desserts of necessity. Hobbled by the 3-punch-combo of beets, acorns, and water chestnuts, follow along as we try and fail to make a concoction worth baking.”
