Congratulations - great recipes.
On organ meats and whales I have the exact opposite attitude - I am a fan of nose to tail eating, not wasting a thing, yet the idea of eating whale, a mammal whose intelligence most probably matches our own, utterly repulses me.

Thank you, Food 52, for this honor for our daughter, kaykay! She has always loved food. Picture a little 4th grader sitting on a school bench opening a bag lunch packed with leftover chili and corn chips that she's created herself when peanut-butter sandwiches were the "standard lunch of the day." Then picture a college grad packing up a multitude of freezer boxes full of the makings for a tea party and flying from San Francisco down to Pasadena to throw a shower for her college roommate! The next year, picture kaykay on TV as a finalist in the Pillsbury Bake-Off. Yes, kaykay loves food. And our family is inspired and lucky to enjoy the fruits of her creativity.

Thanks, Mom...I think everyone knows where my passion for food originated. What other kid comes home to racks of homemade danishes covering the counter top? Not to mention all your homemade pasta making parties, tea parties fit for a queen, and let's not forget the famous coffee crunch cake!

Yay kaykay! What a well deserved write up. All her recipes are absurdly addictive!

I just happened to be over at Monkeymom's tonight where I was bemoaning end-of-the-school-year craziness and a particularly complex work project I've been burried with lately. After I got home, Monkeymom called and told me I was spotlight cook. What a HUGE surprise! Thanks for all your kind comments. Amongst all you talented chefs, I feel unworthy. Thanks, Food52 for making my week.

Hi kaykay! So happy to see you here. All 4 of us are big fans of you and your amazing recipes!
Thank you for my favorite ever asparagus recipe, sometimes I sneak just a sprinkle of parm. on top, but I know you won't mind.

Congrats on the cooks spotlight...making the asparagus for a luncheon on Thursday, now I'm going to have to add the fig tart as well!

kaykay, been meaning to tell you that Merrill and I recently met someone who told us he took your Absurdly Addictive Asparagus to a dinner party in Boston, and several party guests knew the recipe just by looking at it. Cool, right?

I LOVE the donated organs line. What a beautiful write-up of an extremely creative person.

Just noticed you're a creative director. I am so lame. But seriously, great congratulations.

Such a pleasure to see you here. I will always remember meeting you at the food52 Bay Area potluck. Instead of greeting you by name, I screamed out, "Absurdly Addictive Asparagus"!

Congrats, kaykay! That's an awesome story, Lizthechef. I love that recipe too. Looking up that flatbread recipe now.
See what other Food52 readers are saying.
