You already know César, Nea, and Anna. We’re looking for more talented recipe developers and video creators to join their team.
Maybe that’s you! Or maybe that’s a friend you think should apply. Do us both a favor and share this with them! Read More &…
Something I’ve noticed: Creative founders of food and home companies are doubling down on shops. My theories on why: 1) The isolation of the pandemic made people understand that as much as we may annoy one another, we also really need to be together in…
My mom has been talking up a recipe called Brownie Brittle. As a fan of crisp cookies—she baked her Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies dark, and makes Corby Kummer’s nutty, shard-like biscotti—a brittle is very on-brand for her. Still, isn’t a brownie’s …
If you follow me on Instagram (@amandahesser), you know that I have a feature called “Beer du Jour” where I highlight great craft brews. You may also have noticed that I like an Americano (the Campari cocktail, not the coffee).
Like anyone who gets Ne…
A couple of weeks ago, I included a photo of a rhubarb and strawberry cake that I’d had for Mother’s Day, and rudely did not include the recipe. Your exasperation was heard! You can get the recipe here.
This cake recipe comes from Ava Chambers, a food…

This past Saturday, I did The Great Saunter, a 32-mile walk around the shoreline perimeter of Manhattan, hoofing it up the West Side’s promenade, across Inwood Park with its cherry trees and sprightly spring blooms, and down the East Side with views of…
In one of my weekly newsletters, I asked readers to share what snacks and other plane prep products they take on flights. The Food52 community delivered, and I’m excited to share!
But first, a quick aside: Several of you referred to a story about plan…
Tad and I went to a party for Amor Towles’s new story collection, Table for Two, at his home in Manhattan. He served two plump, beautifully glazed hams next to a basket of fresh biscuits—reminding me, an over-planner, that keeping it simple is often th…
Jojo is back in the house!
Back in 2014, after we’d launched our Shop and it took off, Merrill and I realized we needed to bring on an experienced team. Industry friends kept telling us to hire Jojo Feld. So we did. It didn’t take long to see her stre…
