food52 in the News
In case you missed it, Amanda was on The Diane Rehm Show on NPR this morning, discussing her just-released book: The Essential New York Times Cookbook
You can listen to the full interview here to learn all about the making of the book, plus discussions on crowd-sourcing, surprising culinary trends of the past 150 years (olive oil has been popular longer than you'd think -- sadly, Translucent Pudding didn't have the same longevity), and Amanda's favorite recipes of the 1,000+ that appear in the book.

After years of "reading" you and being jealous of Mr. Latte, what a treat to "hear" a voice !
Like so many others, I obsessively clip, paste and copy, download recipes from all over. It's not likely I'll live long enough to try each one once. Worse, the victim/wife regularly reminds me that if she really, really likes something she knows I'll never make it again.

I got in my car yesterday at 11:30 to go to the dentist, and was so excited to hear Food52 on my radio! I just found this site a few days ago and am blown away. Thanks for making my visit to the dentist a little more bearable.

This is great to listen to, especially the discussion re: esoteric ingredients/techniques. I think people are drawn to recipes that are manageable (most food52 recipes have an interesting twist, but none require 17 pots and 62 steps). I found the cookbook very accessible (probably because Amanda tested many of them after work!). Personally, am happy to search for an interesting ingredient or two. Less happy when a recipe is a chef creation that belongs in a restaurant, but that's just me...

I share a similar view -- I want recipes that inspire me to get in the kitchen.

Happened to be driving right at that time and turned on the radio and heard most of the show. I like my NYT esoteric.

Thanks -- I feel the same. I want a mix of esoteric and accessible, something to suit my every mood.
