Jenny! You are my trusted source for weeknight dinners and a comforting read. This is my favorite column on Food52 and I'm sorry I missed your departure. I took some time off after a grueling campaign and have largely ignored the internet for 3 months. Thank you for your soy saucy chicken and your many, many ways with salmon. I haven't made those wine cookies yet, but hope to soon. Raising a French 75 to you.

I learned that French 75 was made with Champagne with a brandy float! And that was it; no other additions. Try it; it's refreshing but with a kick!

I love French 75 - but this version is not as good as my go-to one, which is 1 oz. gin, ½ oz. simple syrup, ½ oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice topped with Prosecco. It is much lighter and cleaner tasting without the Cointreau.

Aw. I will miss the column--it was like checking in with a friend each week! But a wonderful cocktail to go out with--my total favorite. We had pitchers of them at our garden wedding two years ago and one sip brings back such lovely memories...and now I'll have happy thoughts of you, as well.
Cheers!

I've enjoyed your column so much - I will miss you. Having a lot of balls in the air is always a challenge. Make memories with your family; time passes too quickly. Best wishes!

How did I not see this? You know, I never could figure out how you managed to do everything and still write a column every week. I want you to know that I love and value you-- I could count on the recipes you chose to work, I could rely on your humor, and I deeply respect you as a journalist. You've honored me by choosing so many of my recipes, and that has given me confidence to create time and again. Thank you for all of it. I will miss your fun weekly columns, and hope that I do get to meet you in person one of these days. (If you're ever in Austin.....). Much love and gratitude. Cheers to you.

So very sad to not have your voice to make me smile and think and cook! Every time I come to this site, your column is the first thing I read. Good luck with all endeavors and thanks for ending with the French 75 -- an old favorite!

I have always looked forward to your postings -- and have even cooked quite a few of them. I understand the need to take a break, but I'll miss your by-line.

A French 75 is my favorite cocktail! It's brings back such fun memories of cruises with my girlfriends - we meet for cocktails before dinner and traditionally, at least one night, we have a French 75! Thanks for this recipe, the memories and all the fun recipes you've shared. Hope you are back soon cause we miss you already!! Blessings.

You deserve a rest and a huge toast. I love this colum - will continue to cook from the recipes and your book (what other book makes one feel like they MUST make Twix at 11 PM). Jenny, you are the best!

I have always regretted that I moved from DC just as J was moving in. Her postings have been a delight. I have learned a lot about food, life, and good writing, and her words always made me smile. Thank you for the wonderful time.

What a well put and heartwarming farewell. Thank you for all of the wonderful recipes that you have shared with us over the years!!! I will never stop finding recipes that immediately make me think, "So Jenny."

I echo all of these comments! I must be a food52 old timer because I remember Jenny's first columns. For so long, Jenny's column was the first thing I read on Monday mornings when I checked out food52. Her depiction of family life and her cooking exploits always made me laugh and smile. Jenny, thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. You will be very much missed!

I waited for Mondays in anticipation of reading your witty, warm and wonderful columns. I will miss you and hope to still catch you in the NYTimes, where your wiring is more intellectual, but not often as satisfying. I hope you return soon.

Dear Jenny, thank you for opening your kitchen, sharing your wit and keeping us laughing while cooking with and for our family. You'll always be the original best reason to check in at food52 first thing every Monday. You will be missed!

Thank you Jenny. Mondays won't be the same without you. I've always been in awe of your ability to entertain us weekly, especially on top of your day job, raising a family, and cooking. Enjoy your well-deserved break!

I love this cocktail. I substituted Vodka for gin-phobic friends & it was delicate and lovely.

Ah, I'll miss your unique voice and sense of humor! I always looked forward to your column as a Monday afternoon pick-me-up. Cheers!!

This is one of my favorite cocktails! For a bit of a floral twist, sub St. Germain in for the Cointreau and use lemon juice. No need for added sugar. I like to add a dash of grapefruit bitters (it keeps things herbaceous and lovely) and garnish with either fresh sage or rosemary. Try it! You'll like it.
