- Society & Culture
Amanda Hesser founded one of my favorite food and lifestyle brands, Food52. It’s one of my go-to sources for recipe and gift inspiration… and what’s crazy is that building that hugely successful company is just a small part of Amanda’s life story.
She was also a food writer and editor at the New York Times for many years, and she’s written cookbooks and a memoir called Cooking for Mr. Latte which I just love.
Today Amanda and I talk about what she’s into right now (padel, anyone?), what she’s out on (do sweatshirts really need to be cropped above the belly button?), and the time she may or may not have taken her kids on a prison tour on one of their birthdays.
We also get into:
* The recent habits that have been improving both our day-to-day lives (mine is a lot more superficial)
* Amanda’s ideal sneaker
* How we dress when working from home
* Her brilliantly simple go-to meal when she doesn’t feel like cooking

* Rachel Comey jeans
* Adidas Women’s Ultraboost shoes
