Our First Review!
Check out a great review of the series from Allen Weiner at The Daily Dot! "Rachel Abrams and Nora Fiffer found the magic number...It is fascinating to watch Matching Pursuit mature with each passing episode. The story arc is quite compelling with a strong "wonder what will happen next" element that will bring audiences in and keep them engaged." Read it all HERE
Planning a Matching Pursuit Part Two Viewing Party
Tis the season for celebrating! Part Two of Matching Pursuit is only one week away so it's time to start planning how you'll be watching Episodes 4,5, and 6. Now, there's nothing wrong with watching them at your desk -- each episode is perfect for a quick ten minute break-- or you can binge on them all at once when you have more time. But if you really want to watch in style, invite your friends over for a Matching Pursuit-themed party! Here's everything you'll need:
Costumes! Go as your favorite character! Click through the gallery below to find your look.
Food: Bubbe makes a mean rugelach. Check out some of Bubbe's favorite recipes here.
Drinks: To celebrate Rachel's old-fashioned style, try this recipe for a classic Old Fashioned.
Decorations: Rachel is a highly-lauded statistician and her room is decorated with all of her achievements. Make your own Math Award garlands with these certificates, a hole punch, and some string. Write your guests name on them, and they'll make great party favors too.
Activity: Watch Matching Pursuit Part Two, premiering on Friday, December 19th! Take a sneak peek at the teaser and brush up on past episodes here.
Don't forget to take pictures of your party. Post them on Twitter, #MatchingPursuit.

Happy New Year from our bubbe to you and yours!
Wishing all who celebrate, a happy, healthy, and sweet New Year! And speaking of sweet, we were lucky enough to do some baking with our own bubbe this season in Episode 3. We had such a great time that we were inspired to share a few recipes of some classic and new twists on our favorite Rosh Hashanah (or anytime!) desserts.
Rugelach - The Kitchn
Rosemary, Honey, and Fig Cake - Serious Eats
Baked Apples with Currants and Sauternes - Food & Wine
So give your bubbe a call, grab an apron, and make some sweet new memories. Shana Tova!
