Receiving an award for birthing a cookbook with Merrill as the midwife and Tad as the coach. . .what a great way to kick off Mother's Day Weekend! Congratulations! And I bet the twins made Sunday an award-winner, too.

Congratulations Amanda! I love your cookbook and as a longtime NYT reader, appreciate all the flashes from the past as I've reconnected with forgotten recipes. I hope you post some pictures from the award ceremony!

Congratulations, Amanda! Your book is a masterpiece. It's perfect - an instant classic: design, font, headnotes and recipes. I've learned so much from it and love cooking out it. It's so awesome you and Merrill were able to celebrate with your husbands. Btw: wear that gorgeous medal to your next cocktail party :)

Oh! And I meant to add that we just got back from Ecuador and fell in love with all the empanadas there, so I really enjoyed the story on La Empanada truck. Next, a search through Food 52 to find empanada recipes!
