A 104-Year-Old Woman's Secret: 3 Dr. Peppers a Day
Courtney Kassel is a Brooklyn-based writer and recipe developer with over five years of experience writing and producing food content for various media outlets including Food Network Food52 Paper Magazine and more. She’s driven by the idea of making the most of every meal snack and bite in between. That means staying on top of new trends and product launches constantly cooking and experimenting in the kitchen and spending way too much time on TikTok for “work.” In her spare time she also writes Sifted a newsletter with recipe recommendations and general food musings.
We look to our elders for sage advice words of wisdom and now breakfast recommendations. A few weeks ago my grandma Lisette celebrated her 99th birthday with champagne not one but two kinds of cake lots of Toblerone chocolate and what my dad lovingly (I swear!) called her “death row” menu aka all of her favorite dishes from different cuisines. And I have to admit she is a bit of a miracle.
At 99 Lisette lives alone in an apartment with minimal help to spend her days watching PBS listening to opera and reading the New York Times cover to cover. She’s sharp as a whip with a wicked sense of humor and somehow a better memory than I am (and I’m sure she reminds me all the time). So what’s her secret? She swears it’s her genes but I have a theory that her morning meal has something to do with it.
