Got mine over the weekend, just in time for our Boston book launch party, and a lovely lass she is. I'm so proud to be a part of such a terrific project, kudos to all who had a hand in design, layout, photography, etc., but especially to A&M. Very nicely done, ladies.

I love my book -- beautiful job everyone! My favorite part is seeing so many of the recipes I want to try safely stored between covers and not online where I could forget them or lose them.

It's hard to add praise to all that has been said, except to say, it's all true! My copy was sitting on top of my mailbox (today the box was delivered in a plastic supermarket bag; how appropriate!) under inches of wet snow. Of course it was perfect, beautiful -- as expected; but what I did not expect was that it is heavy, hefty, yet perfectly balanced for practical use in the kitchen. Sure beats hauling the PC around... A party attendee got her copy 2 days ago and loves it -- she's new for FOOD52 -- good work!

Hi everyone. I received books yesterday, and I don't know why, but I get choked up every time I look through that book. It is so beautiful and such a huge accomplishment! A tangible record of the work we all do and our wonderful community. Congratulations!

Box of swag and books just arrived and the book is FANTASTIC!! Great job, Amanda and Merrill - delicious recipes, gorgeous photos and nice layout. Congrats! I opened the box about 10 minutes ago and am already starting to make the Tuscan Chicken Liver Pate for a party tomorrow. Mmmm!

ChefJune! When are you in Boston? If you are here on the 30th, you should come to our party! Then you'd get to have two parties in a row! :)

My copy is in the mail and hopefully winging its way to me right now and I can't wait. Thank you all for the inspiration and for teaching me how to cook and bake.
See what other Food52 readers are saying.
