The Desk Book Club—through our discussions and Sunday afternoon Zoom hang-outs—has been a highlight of this year. In 2024, we read Small Fires by Rebecca May Johnson, Food in Cuba by Hanna Garth, and Longthroat Memoirs by Yemisi Aribisala so far, and to finish up the year, we’ll be reading Eating to Extinction by Dan Saladino. We partnered with Archestratus, a culinary book shop in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, to offer subscribers 20 percent off each selection.

As a freelancer, I usually had what we call an ā€œanchor gigā€: a stable base of money to rely on monthly that would pay fixed bills, and beyond that, Iā€™d be hustling, pitching, and chasing down invoices.

Nigella smiles to the camera in a pristine kitchen. She wears a pink, twinset-style button-up cardigan. She strokes and pats gleaming implements with the tips of her fingers. She walks downstairs in a satin dressing gown and spoons dessert into her mouth in a dimly lit kitchen.
