Library Lunch: What I'm Reading Now

This edition of Library Lunch is dedicated to one of my very favorite food writers and recipe developers, Amanda Hesser. Formerly of the New York Times, she is now running the uber-successful food site, Food52. She's got a knack for writing about food in a very distinct, earthy, approachable voice that manages to be both entertaining and informative. I own all of her books, and as you can see in the photo above, they're all well-worn and loved, especially the gargantuan New York Times cookbook, which is a constant source of authority in my kitchen. xo
