Hola, friends! I hope you have enjoyed getting to know my team a little bit over the last few years. It has been really special for me to share recipes from the people who help bring our ideas, thoughts and passions to life—like chef Hector’s Red Pozole or Chef Koji’s Nikujaka, beef and potatoes. Each of these recipes comes straight from the heart, and reflects the heritages and cultures of our amazing team.

Because for the most part I get to spend my time writing on subjects of deep interest to me, largely on my own terms, there’s very few writers whose careers I envy, but Adam Gopnik’s is one of them. The source of my envy is found in the amazing array of projects with which he’s been involved. He’s curated an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
