Greetings eaters and readers! I am lucky enough to have received an early copy of Samin Nosrat’s next cookbook, and I’ve been using it like crazy — the book is so good, just absolutely packed with keepers and stories and lessons that will inspire you to gather and share and cook for people.

Greetings subscribers! Below, please find next week’s Monday-to-Friday meal plan, which takes into account June’s end-of-the-school-year busy-ness (translation: the recipes are easy) as well as the idea that you are human and most likely crave different things on different nights (translation: there’s a mix of pastas, giant salads, eggs).

Greetings eaters and readers! What’s for dinner? I’m feeling like it’s a spring quinoa bowl kinda night, or maybe I’ll make Meera Sodha’s Mango Paneer Curry or a crispy fish sandwich or some version of Yasmin Fahr’s creamy, tomatoey orzo or maybe I’ll just defrost a few veggie burgers from the freezer and call it a night.

Greetings eaters and readers! Last week, we went to a birthday party in the East Village for our friend Avideh, and I learned a new phrase that her friend Niko used in a toast to describe her: She is a Flavor Seeking Organism. How great is that?

Those of you who have been paying attention around here might remember the time I wrote a story about how to be a good dinner guest, and without realizing I was walking into a firestorm, wrote the wildly controversial phrase “Feel free to be fashionably late” followed by,“15 minutes late is a relief to a host who is, if they’re like me, probably express-showering or crash-cleaning the powder room at call time, and might appreciate a little breathing room.

Thanks to everyone who joined me for my latest book talk, this time with Adam Roberts, author of the new novel Food Person. He has been writing The Amateur Gourmet blog-now-newsletter (one of my favorites) since 2004 (!) but this is his first novel, and it was really fun to hear him talk about his process and the cookbook-loving characters and New York and restaurants…and the cool wedding favor he made for every guest when he got married. Intrigued? Here’s the recording if you missed it.

Greetings eaters and readers. Well, we’re back from a long weekend up in Vermont where we celebrated our youngest daughter’s college graduation, and I have to say, I’ve never been terribly adept at the whole end-of-an-era thing, but this one has been particularly emotional. The goal was to focus on gratitude, because really what is wrong with me if I can’t see how world-widening and rich these college years have been for our daughters and, by extension, for us?

Greetings eaters and readers! So much to get to this morning, so I’ll be quick with my wind-up. Let’s start with priorities: Congratulations to my friend Adam Roberts, whose novel, Food Person is out today! 🎉 🎉 It’s about a New York food writer forced to take a cookbook ghostwriting job for a scandal-prone celebrity, whose chaotic personal life and lack of kitchen know-how proves to, er, complicate things. Can’t you just picture the movie? It’s a lot of fun and the story really moves.

A few weeks ago, I was in the middle of a plank-to-pike in Pilates when I had a somewhat startling realization: I was enjoying myself. The Shaggy remix of “Angel” was playing, the instructor was no-nonsense — not the you-go-girl-I-SEE-you type I’m allergic to — and I was nailing my pike for the full count. I didn’t have to collapse ahead of time. I didn’t have to default to the easier, modified position.

Greetings eaters and readers! Hope you all enjoyed your weekends. We biked down to the West Village for lunch on Saturday, destination: L’Industrie, the Brooklyn-headquartered pizzeria that everyone has told me is not just TikTok hype.
