Promote your contributions to food52 on your website or blog with our cool new food52 Blogger Badges!

Our first 52 weeks may be up, but we're only just getting started! 

Check out our cool new Meetup widget, perfect for organizing food52 potlucks!

Starting today, we'll be featuring a weekly tip from Bonappetit.com: to accompany this week's artichoke contest, we thought this short video on How to Prep Artichokes might come in handy.

In case you've been wondering about some of our new contributors, we've updated the Behind food52 page.

You've seen their wines in Sasha's videos, and paired with some of the recipes on the site -- now meet Bottlerocket Wine & Spirit!

Check out the new bells and whistles we've added to food52's recipe pages. 

Many of you have already written to tell us that you like our new design, and to keep us apprised of glitches -- we really appreciate it!

Soon after we launched the site, we noticed that a number of long comment threads were taking shape on both recipes and blog posts. We didn't want anyone to miss out on a conversation...

Some of you may have noticed a new button on the left hand side of the page (it's been hanging out there quietly for over a week). We haven't publicized the shop until now because we wanted to make sure everything was running smoothly. Now that it is, we'd love for you to stop in and have a look around.

In the shop, we've gathered some of our favorite books, artisanal food, cookware and tabletop items for you to browse -- and we've provided links to the producers' websites in case you'd like to buy anything. Right now, the shop is stocked with our personal picks, and we plan to expand it over the next several weeks. But before too long, we hope to crowd-source some of the offerings, as we do the food52 recipe database. After all, no one could be better at knowing what the food52 community likes than all of you who are part of it.

We're still thinking about the best way to do this, so if you have any ideas please leave them in the comments section below. You can also let us know about any small food producers and artisans that you think we should include by leaving a comment. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy exploring the shop!
