Bon Appetit | Q&A with Amanda and Merrill

"Yesterday we told you why we love food52--the web site that asks home cooks to submit their best recipes to weekly contests that determine which recipes will make it into a cookbook at the end of 52 weeks. 

Today we bring you an interview with the projects founders', New York Times food writers Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs. Check back tomorrow, and every Thursday, to see which recipes Hesser and Stubbs have chosen as that week's finalists. 

We hope you'll get involved in food52 and help link our passionate food community to theirs!"
