The home and kitchen destination Food52.com was founded in 2009 by Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, two authors, editors, and opinionated home cooks who formerly worked for the New York Times. Since then, Food52 has created a suite of cookbooks, a cooking and home shop, a podcast, and a cooking hotline-and has won many a James Beard and IACP award doing it.
Remember when 'salad' meant a sad iceberg wedge, Russian dressing, and a mealy tomato? Goodbye, says Food52, and we're better off for it. Whether you're looking for a one-plate mighty meal or a jumping-off point for some vegetable-centric culinary experimentation, you'll find it here. --JESSICA KOSLOW, owner of Sqirl and author of Everything I Want to Eat Food52's newest venture finds the perfect solution to a common dilemma - turning something light and easy like salad, into a meal that can hold you over for more than an hour. --Domino.com
