“When I first stumbled across the Amateur Gourmet blog, I was an overworked and overstressed mom/lawyer/wife/etc/etc who could barely keep it together. If cooked at home, dinner was hasty and sad. Yet one little phrase in one simple recipe for the Best Brownies of Your Life (and for real they truly are) re-opened the lost world of cooking for me, making it accessible and doable. The AG led me to Smitten Kitchen and NYT Cooking, among others, and soon I was meal planning and cookbook reading and multiple-kinds-of-salt-owning - and feeding my family and friends like a champ. Eating at home as a family brought health, and happiness, and calmed at least some of the chaos of our noisy lives.
So of course I was beyond delighted when I saw that a podcast had arrived, and it doesn’t disappoint. The thing that makes the blog so special - Adam’s gift for bringing humor and warmth into anything - is present here. By far my favorite episode so far is the one with Susan Feniger. Do yourself a favor and check it out! And seriously, make the brownies. And the almond cake - it’s the stuff of legend around here. Thank you, Adam! I’m forever in your debt. Please let me buy (or make!) you dinner if you ever come to Houston.”
