Help! You forgot to pick up the twins at school!!! (Just kidding . . . you look like a busy mom, but a great mom too!) Great post and great site. Keep it up.

Looks like a fun place to work. Got any openings for a Grandma who writes about food and wine -- and is a pretty fair cook, too)?

I also love the caneles! I once spent 3 weeks making at least 10 versions of caneles to find the perfect recipe. (found it!)

Love, love, love! Any day that include Champagne, dessert(s) and shopping is a great work day in my book. Though I know there's plenty of non-glam, nose-to-the-grindstone days, too. Excellent feature and great to see the rest of the food52 gang.

If my work looked like this, I'd never want to leave : ) Can I please be hired?

Thanks everyone for your comments -- we're glad you got a chance to see some of the great people who are working hard with us every day. And we promise we don't usually eat dessert all day long. Only sometimes...

You ladies are living the dream! Fun post. Thanks for sharing an inside peek into Food52. I'm going nuts over the purses!! Amanda is that the Jane? What color is it??? I am coveting it!!!
Amanda H.
March 17, 2011
Thanks -- it's the "Kate" and the color is "storm" although it reminds me much more of a mushroom color, part gray, part brown.

I think Addie needs a hat like her mom's! Thanks for the glimpse into the inner workings of Food52, it's a treat to see all those working hard to make this community a success. Keep up the good work, and shopping, and eating, and looking glamorous for the camera..... - S

I don't know why I still retain the mental image of Food52 being comprised of A & M and one ass't working from Amanda's apartment. How many peeps do you have on staff? Loved this post BTW.

March 17, 2011
Thanks! Yes, we used to work out of my apartment and cafes. Finally have an actual place for our file boxes! And now lots more great people to work with -- you can read about them all here: http://www.food52.com/blog/1465

This is the most adorable post ever. I love it, all the way from the twins going to school to the giant mugs of coffee. A big wave hello to your whole techie team - awesome to see everyone's faces :)

Thanks for this peep into your day. I have to say - are you both wearing the same tops too? ;) (see pic at Whole Foods). What a crazy, fun and hectic day, and a great idea for a post.
Love, love, this site; use it for food inspiration EVERY DAY and have tried things and been exposed to things I never would have known about or tried before. Yay for Food52!

They do look alike, don't they? Thanks for your note -- we're thrilled you like food52!

All this is nice. But, where is the recipe for the MS meatballs with garnishes.

Thank you all for your great comments -- and I promise you, our lives are not that glamorous. (Just happened to document the one Champagne lunch we've had since we started food52.) We have a lot of fun, to be sure, but we really love hearing about what you all are up to -- and of course, what you're cooking!

In the photo of the pastries at LA Burdick, there is a chocolate madeleine to the left, but what is the small cake on the right? A baba rhum would be round and look much more like a mini-bundt cake. I am completely stumped. From a baker who is looking for new cakes to try...

That's a canelé de Bordeaux (known also simply as a canele). They're really great little cakes, caramelized on the outside, and almost custard-like on the inside.

You two have the life! I would trade places with you in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing and Amanda I love your hat!

I had no idea they opened actual, physical MUJI stores in the US... I used to go in Dublin, Ireland all the time!! So excited for my next trip out there!

What a fun post - love getting a peek into your everyday life at the 52. Great hat Amanda and I am a BIG apple fan too! :)

I agree on both accounts. The chance to get a peek into how you do it is amazing. And that hat, FABULOUS!

You all look like you are having too much fun. One question...what is this MUJI place of which you speak????
WinnieAb
March 16, 2011
Thanks Sarah! I will be in the city tomorrow and will definitely have to make MUJI one of my stops!

Muji also has great office supplies -- notebooks, mini staplers and such. All very reasonable, too. The wood plate that you often see in our photos comes from Muji.

I am so jealous. Please, just one day following you around. I'd bring San Francisco Treats, and not Rice-O-Roni. I think that I want to be any of you when I grow up.

I was both amused and impressed to see a TED screen on one of the laptops. Can I come work for you? I'm also an Apple user...

Me again, say hi to Marcus S. I just got his 'The soul of a new cuisine', hand delivered to me by Amazon in Houston last week (my first ever trip stateside). Sigh.....again.

I found the Aquavit cookbook at my grocery store deeply discounted for 9.99 last night. It's seriously swoon-worthy!

Fun! Like everything; The hat, hoods and backpacks, the trash can dilemma, the french women don't get fat lunch, like her books also. Office life looks it's working out too! Hoorah!

You guys seriously have the best job in the world! Amanda, I can't believe you actually sat next to Marcus Samuelsson and didn't tell us!! Like OMG! (I bet his meatballs are better than Ikea's.) I wonder if I can find canelés in Westchester?

What a fun DILO post! And, Merrill, I need to know - where did you get those boots? Love them!

Thanks! Got 'em at a great little shoe store in Park Slope called Eric. The company that makes them is Angelo Bervicato.

Trade jobs with you? Pleeease!? I swear, my office in the corner of a former antioxidant research lab is real nice...(Um, and potentially trade wardrobes too? ;-) )

What a delightful peek into your lives and workspace. It's really nice to see all the behind the scenes people. :::waving::: And by the way, those pods are so cool. I've been lucky enough to visit - that general space is like an idyllic Student Union.

Eeeek! My job, my purse, my co-workers, my PC, my social circle--I guess I'm no longer the red-hot mama I once was (stop yer snickering!) and am now green with envy! I wanna be you! Marcus Samuelsson! Mireille Guiliano! Champagne on a school night? Shut up!

I spotted food52 on the wall of fame - third row, last word. I love this peek into your swank, hectic fulfilling lives. Canelés, Madeleines.....coffee, chicdom.....Let me know when you have room for one more - willing to move!
