We're celebrating remarkable women in the worlds of food and design throughout Women Are Amazing Month (aka Women's History Month, Food52-style). Is there a woman we should be profiling? Let us know.

Shay Carrillo is the founding partner and chief creative officer of Portland, Oregon-based linen brand MADRE. With the help of her talented team, she designs timeless, beautiful linens that brighten any occasion. Recently, we caught up with Shay to learn more about her design process, why MADRE is "for everyone," and how being a mother influences her work.

Josephine Heilpern, founder of Brooklyn-based ceramics and home goods brand, Recreation Center, pours her heart and soul into every inch of her vibrant business. She makes every Recreation Center product, from vases to cups, by hand, and is responsible for this much-loved coffee mug in our limited edition collection. (Our team fought over who got to use it in the staff kitchen, until it went missing. We're still not over it.)

The Amazing Women of the Food52 Multiverse

Women’s History Month is underway, and while it’s always a welcome, 31-day-long reminder for us to reflect upon remarkable women—it just feels so stuffy and perfunctory, doesn’t it?

Women’s History Month is underway, and while it’s always a welcome, 31-day-long reminder for us to reflect upon remarkable women—it just feels so stuffy and perfunctory, doesn't it?

So, to celebrate this month Food52-style, we’re rebranding it “Women Are Amazing Month.” Throughout March, we’ll be profiling incredible, talented women working in two of our favorite fields: food and design. To kick things off, we’d like to point you to the stories of these world-changing women. Then, go back in time with us as we celebrate so many of the female colleagues, contributors, and creators who have made our cooking (and our lives) immeasurably better over the years.

Raise the Bar (& Your Baking) With These New Five Two Goods

The secret ingredient in every one of our Five Two products has always been our community. Using your input and reviews, we design the ultimate tools, and that goes for our latest drop of bakeware and barware. From easy-release loaf pans to brass bottle stoppers, these game-changing goods will help make the holidays celebratory and sweet, but they’ll be just as pretty, practical, and perfect for hosting in the new year, too. Give your home bar and baking a refresh—or surprise a special host—with one of these community-inspired items.

Five Two Bakeware

Let us guess: You’ve been baking up a storm this season, and there’s at least one old, warped pan you’d like to remove from heavy rotation. Enter our all-new bakeware. Their two-toned design—pretty blue nonstick enamel inside, even-heating aluminized steel outside—means they travel from oven to table seamlessly and guarantee easy releases and cleaning. Add essentials like platinum-grade silicone mats and cooling racks to our sheet pans, or order as a set, and make it even easier to go from baking cookies to sliding a sheet-pan dinner into the oven.

Let’s Dansk: These All-New Reissues Are Back to Grace Your Home

If you know us, you know we love Dansk, the heritage brand that we added to the Food52 family in 2021. Adored by collectors and our community, Dansk helped popularize the mid-century modern look in America through its streamlined, stylish household goods designed by Danish artist, Jens Quittsgaard. You’re probably very familiar with one of his collections: the boldly colored Købenstyle line of cookware and pitchers that became instant bestsellers—and props for stars like Sarah Jessica Parker—when we reissued the collection with new and limited-edition colors.

Now, we’re excited to announce a brand-new assortment of Dansk classics in our Shop, perfect for holiday gifting and setting your table, Scandinavian-style. These new Dansk reissues are all based upon Jens' original designs, and include pieces that will make entertaining more magical this season, from teak salad bowls to iconic candle holders. Here are a few of the time-tested pieces you’ll want to add to your growing Dansk collection—we’re pretty sure you’ll be just as smitten with them as we are. (Plus, on Nov. 14, you can take 30% off with code DANSK30.)

12 Advent Calendars for This Year’s Christmas Countdown

If you celebrate Christmas, you know the countdown unofficially begins sometime during that stretch between Halloween and Thanksgiving. The pumpkins and gourds find their way off of the mantle and front porch and are slowly replaced with small Christma…

Part of the fun that comes with counting down to Christmas is having an advent calendar to surprise you with treats every day of December leading up to the 25th. Just decide the kind of surprise you'd like to have—do you want chocolates? Tea? Gummy candies?—and make sure you have it in your hands before the first of December. Then, each day, open the slot with the corresponding number to find what the calendar has in store. (It's like a pre-Christmas gift warmup, if you ask us!) And as we inch closer to the holiday, it's time to choose the calendar for you.
