In Sandy's wake, the Food52 team cooked for the community of Gerritsen Beach. 

Jenny shares a holiday dish that brings up a lot of memories. 

The Food52 test kitchen was back in action this week, braving bus routes and ruthless taxi lines to get cooking again.

Jenny stumbles upon a crowd-pleasing cookie. 

You never know what to expect in the Food52 Test Kitchen.  Whether it's missing a food delivery, spilling a container full of peppercorns, or standing over a pot of caramel that won't seem to cooperate, we try to handle any hurdles in style.  This week was no different, but we still had fun cooking, tasting, and folding (yes, folding). Check out snapshots from another day in the kitchen, and remember to follow us on Instagram @Food52 for more foibles and fun.

The test kitchen is nothing if not a team effort.

Weeknight cooking, inspired by Bugs Bunny? Jenny explains. 

Baby Clara came to the test kitchen this week to play, eat, and melt our hearts.

Jenny's created a divine gluten-free chocolate cookie. No seriously. 

It was a day of imaginary cooking, real cooking, and great food in the test kitchen on Tuesday, prepping photographs that you'll be seeing on the site in the coming days and weeks. We couldn't pick just three photos today, so we grouped them into three categories -- as always, you can find more of what we're up to on Instagram @food52!
