Cakes, cookies, and cheesecakes come together with greater success when there’s less immediate pre … | Continue reading

Pie season is here (did it ever leave?), and as you break out your pie dishes and rolling pins, you may decide it’s time to upgrade those tools you’ve been baking with for years (if not decades).

“The smell of freshly ground cardamom is strong and pungent, and it reminds me of eucalyptus or menthol,” said Nichole Accettola, whose new book, Scandinavian From Scratch: A Love Letter to the Baking of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, hit shelves this week. Admittedly, it’s a diffi … | Continue reading
Thanksgiving is like a middle school book report: It’s not difficult, so long as you get ahead. Less demanding than a five-paragraph essay on the symbolism of A Wrinkle In Time, much of your Thanksgiving shopping can be knocked out weeks in advance with a quick visit to the groce … | Continue reading
At the conclusion of a frosty commute, when my toes and fingers and ears are numb, I throw off my bulky jacket and immediately pop a large mug of water in the microwave (I'm too impatient to wait for a kettle to boil). I'm already halfway to my favorite way to warm up: a gigantic … | Continue reading

For all of its suspense and campy horror, Stranger Things, at its core, is really just a nostalgic, guilty pleasure. My (very young) Gen Z kids binge it for the gang of children keeping Hawkins, Ind. safe from a Cold War experiment gone deeply wrong, and I watch it for the pre-iP … | Continue reading

I’m looking for one thing when making a weeknight dinner: joy. For breakfast and lunch, I’m content with consuming an amalgamation of soulless fodder—premade salads, frozen food, anything piled into a cardboard bowl—so long as I regain some humanity in the final meal of my day. W … | Continue reading
September is a period of transition, and the month’s most popular recipes surely reflect that. Summery dishes—like Botanica’s Tomato Tonnato—sit alongside cozy, fall-ready meals, like Mandy Lee’s Korean Rice Cake “Lasagna,” or Chicken-Fried Mushroom Steaks from our Food Editor, E … | Continue reading
With a valuation of $22 billion as of 2022, the nonalcoholic (NA) beer market is roughly 100 times larger than that of NA spirits. While this size disparity primarily exists because NA beer has been around much longer (at least since Prohibition), I would argue—and so would other … | Continue reading
Blame it on years in the service industry or my tendency to avoid things I’m not immediately good at, but I don’t cook. I know that's probably not something you’d expect an editor at Food52 to admit, but I won’t lie to y’all. When it comes to dinner, I’m often at a restaurant, le … | Continue reading
chocolate chip cookies are a highly personal thing, and what I’m not here to do is tell you that my ideal version is better than any others. Personally, I gravitate towards cookies that are made with browned butter, lots of salt, and feature crispy edges with a chewy center—but I … | Continue reading

As we exhale and enter fall, we become reacquainted with cooking again.

You might think it’s a bit early to start talking about Thanksgiving, but we disagree. It’s never too soon to start drafting your holiday menu, sketching out your table setting, figuring out who to invite, or how you will prepare the holiday’s main character: turkey. After scouri … | Continue reading
One of my daughter’s favorite Trader Joe’s buys is a bag of dried berries. (This likely correlates to another passion of hers, Starbucks, and the dried strawberry slices swimming in their “Refreshers.”) At home, these berries won’t find their way into a drink or a baked good; the … | Continue reading

As home cooks, we at Food52 think a lot about grocery shopping—which types of produce we’re gravitating towards, what ingredients we’re willing to splurge on, and (perhaps most importantly) which pantry staples we lean on each and every day.

When I was little, there were few mornings more exciting than Christmas. It would take me hours to fall asleep—I was either peeking out my bedroom door every 30 minutes to see if presents had arrived or writing a last-minute note to Santa—and when I finally woke up the next morni … | Continue reading
In New York, we’ve just exited the ‘season’ named Second Summer, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: A weird period of time—mostly in early September—where temperatures fluctuate to briefly mirror the summery hell we just left behind. This ‘season’ (I say this loosely, as this … | Continue reading
We’re still two-ish months away from Thanksgiving, but for many holiday hosts, planning has already begun. The biggest question? How to manage several dishes—and guests—at once.

Hailee Catalano’s videos—which include scouring a farmer’s market for husk cherries, building a two-foot-long sandwich, and plating turnips—aren’t manufactured to grab attention.

It’s officially apple season—and that means it’s also apple crisp season. Though September might be too early in the year for apple crisp’s more formal, buttoned-up relative, apple pie (we’re saving those for Thanksgiving), there’s no reason all that seasonal fruit should go to w … | Continue reading

Not difficult, always worth it. That’s homemade pizza dough’s new tagline (I’ll send the invoice later). And unlike most slogans, it’s actually true.

If you’ve taken a peek at Dansk’s Købenstyle line, you’re probably already familiar with the butter warmer—the tiny (we’re talking 0.59-quart capacity), surprisingly versatile pot that rarely leaves our stovetops.
