Today, we're talking all things fried, salty, and wanting of a cool drink to wash everything down.

The word of the day this week? Bread. From buns to brioche, we were busy mixing and kneading and eating all day; let's just say we kept Amanda's toaster busy and our bellies full.

Is it Spring yet? Our staff weighs in on what we're looking forward to cooking and eating once the seasons turn.

After weeks of living and breathing (and eating) all things Piglet, things are finally starting to get back to normal in the land of Food52.

The day we were all waiting for finally came: the day of the final Piglet judgment! For weeks, we have woken up with just one thought on our minds:what will today's judge decide? We started with sixteen cookbooks, and although we enjoyed and appreciated each and every one -- along with a slew of Community Picks -- there can only be one winner. 

You'll be hearing from the staff at FOOD52 every week in Too Many Cooks, our group column in which we pool our answers to questions about food, cooking, life, and more. This week, in honor of all things Bond, we're discussing our favorite classic cocktails -- shaken, stirred, and otherwise.

We were all a big, noodly mess after a day in the test kitchen this week. Most of the day was spent testing recipes for our Noodle Soups contest, which meant lots of bowls, lots of noodles, lots of dishes to do, and lots of slurping.

We were all weird kids once. Today, we're reminiscing on what those kids ate.

Meet Amanda's windowsill, one of the hardest workers in our test kitchen.

We're sharing our worst Valentine's stories. What are yours?
