We’re Food52, and we’ve created a groundbreaking kitchen and home destination. Founded in 2009 by Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs--two authors, editors, and opinionated home cooks who formerly worked for the New York Times--we support, connect, and celebrate home cooks, and give them everything they need in one place. That includes smart and entertaining stories about cooking and home, over 60,000 recipes, a cooking hotline, a suite of cookbooks, a shop with everything from stunning tabletop goods to the trustiest pan, and a community of talented and curious home cooks. Oh, and we’ve won many a James Beard and IACP award doing it.
