Food52

A few years back, we embarked on a mission to connect cooks from different backgrounds to share recipes, ideas, and provide mutual support in the kitchen. Our goal was to establish a vibrant community where food lovers can come together to discuss their passion for cooking. At Food52, we collaborate to create cookbooks, engage in food-related projects, assist others through our live food Q&A platform—the Food52 Hotline—and promote local food producers. Since launching Food52 (we cook every week of the year, hence the name!), millions of cooks and food enthusiasts have joined our community.

How to Pick the Perfect Knobs and Pulls

1 week ago | food52.com | Chelsea Harris

Welcome to Schoolhouse Switchboard, where our team answers your most pressing design questions-one topic at a time. This week, we're breaking down everything you need to know about cabinet hardware. When it comes to everyday design choices, cabinet hardware doesn't always get the attention it deserves. But here's the thing: you interact with it every single day-opening drawers, closing doors, maybe even admiring that little gleam of brass while you wait for your coffee to brew.
How to Hang Art & Mirrors (Without Wrecking Your Walls)

1 week ago | food52.com | Chelsea Harris

Welcome to Schoolhouse Switchboard, where our team answers your most pressing design questions-one topic at a time. This week, we're breaking down how to hang art and mirrors like a pro. Hanging a heavy mirror or piece of art can feel like one of those deceptively simple tasks-until you're standing there with a drill in one hand and a level in the other, trying to make sure everything lines up just right.
What Living in Italy for 20 Years Taught This Cookbook Author About Food

1 week ago | food52.com | Julia Youman

Few people understand the power of a four-hour dinner. For most Americans, that probably sounds like a nightmare. But in Italy, it's normal. Expected, even. You settle in. You open a bottle of wine. You talk, and eat, and talk some more. There's no rush to clear the plates or get to dessert. Growing up, I was lucky to be part of a family that liked to linger.
The One Meal This NYC Chef Always Makes With His Son

1 week ago | food52.com | Julia Youman

When you want good Italian food around New York City-or really anywhere-there are a few things I always look for. A real Italian accent helps, or at least a whisper of one. Fresh bread and olive oil (with bonus points for roasted garlic swimming in it and slowly infusing it). And fresh parmesan-lots of it. You know it's the real deal when there's a full wheel in the dining room and a microplane grater always on standby.
Why Grilled Fish Deserves the Spotlight This Summer

1 week ago | food52.com | Justin Sullivan

Welcome to Sunday Reset, where we share how we're unwinding and what we're cooking in the week ahead. This time, Justin is walking us through his best tips for perfectly grilled fish (no sticking, no overcooking). Memorial Day is traditionally the start of the summer, but to me, grilling season doesn't start in earnest until Father's Day.
How (and Why) Chefs Are Cooking With Bourbon This Summer

2 weeks ago | food52.com | Julia Youman

Summer is around the corner and that means the grilling season has officially arrived (yes, even if your forecast still says "scattered showers"). And while we're all for a bourbon on the rocks while the coals heat up, there's another reason to keep that bottle close: It might just be the secret ingredient your summer cooking's been missing. No, this isn't just a summer fever dream.
Michelin-Worthy Meals Even Your Kids Will Love

2 weeks ago | food52.com | Julia Youman

It's not every day you see a former three-Michelin-star chef slinging burgers and homemade potato chips out of a historic red train car. But at Dad's Luncheonette, the low-key restaurant tucked off Highway 1 in foggy Half Moon Bay, that's exactly what you'll find- if you know where to look. If you pull up, chances are you'll find Scott Clark -chef, dad, and now cookbook author-chatting with customers, cracking jokes, and running the pass for their short-and-sweet seasonal menu.
Finally, Americans Are Catching On to Medjool Dates-and This Brand Saw It Coming

2 weeks ago | food52.com | Julia Youman

If you've ever tried to find Medjool dates in a grocery store, you know it's not always intuitive. You might check near the bananas, wander toward the baking aisle, or give up and ask someone. Until recently, date packaging rarely did itself any favors: generic plastic clamshells, muted colors, minimal context. The fruit may have been sweet, but it didn't exactly look like it.
Blueberry Swirl Honey Pound Cake Recipe on Food52

2 weeks ago | food52.com | Nea Arentzen

Author NotesThere's something so delicious about a glazed pound cake. In this version, I make a quick blueberry jam which I use to color the glaze and swirl into the batter. I also swap some of the sugar out for honey, which caramelizes slightly while baking and adds a subtle honey-forward flavor. If you don't feel like making blueberry compote, swap out with blueberry jam. - Nea Arentzen
Father's Day Gift Ideas If You Still Don't Know What to Get

2 weeks ago | food52.com | Julia Youman

Let's be honest: dads are objectively some of the hardest people to shop for. Whether it's the "I don't want anything" dad, the "just buy me socks" dad, or the "already ordered it myself" dad (the audacity), landing on a thoughtful, actually appreciated gift can feel impossible. One year my dad asked for a handheld leaf blower that my sisters and I promptly bought and I think that's still his favorite gift ever. And yes, that's on here.
