Food52 Cookbook Volume 2
I feel just terrible that I haven’t posted anything for a while. First work became so busy I was just too tired and barely cooked at all. Then the heat, well, it was just way too hot to cook. I stayed away from my kitchen only making food for my dogs and something that required little to no heat for me. Summers in NYC can be brutal, I don’t have central AC and live in a 100+ year old home with very high ceilings, my window air conditioners barely cool it off. So the kitchen for me was almost off limits. During the last heat wave, notice I say last, we have already had 4 and summer just started a month ago, my Nando got sick and I ended up in the Veterinary Emergency Hospital. Last Friday when I was taking Nando for a follow up appointment I started to lift him and felt a searing and horrific pain in my back and literally could not move, I got him to the hospital with help from my neighbor but have spent the last few days almost immobile. I am feeling better now, after days of pain meds, muscle relaxants and bed rest, so this is my feeble attempt to catch up.
I am so excited that in November the second Food52 cookbook will be available. My recipe for Flank Steak on Texas Toast with Chimichurri will be in the book and I can’t wait to get my copy. The book is available for pre-order on Amazon. I love the first cookbook and use it all the time. Food52 is such a great resource, I have made so many friends, home cooks and professionals alike post recipes, enter contests and offer advice.
I hope to be able to post some recipes but it looks like we are in for another heat wave and as far as I can see we will be having hot, humid weather for the coming week, so my time in the kitchen again will be limited, I think I’ll make ice cream!
Nando
Hope you feel better soon. I’m looking forward to the second book, too!
I know, can’t wait to get a copy. Hope you are enjoying the summer and hope to see you soon!
Congratulations. I plan to get a copy too. I’m sending you speedy recovery wishes! I don’t blame you a bit. I myself have not posted in over a month. between work, the heat and enjoying summertime, I’m spent. I’ll still be here when you’re back on your feet. Feel better soon!
You are so right, I found myself stressing about not posting and thought why am I putting myself through this. You do what you can do! Look forward to future posts on your site. I hope you are enjoying the summer. Thanks so much!
Exactly! Love yourself up & soak up the summertime while your at it.
I hope both Nando and you are recuperating my friend, sounds like a hectic time! Do not be worried one bit about the blogging!
On a happier note, this cookbook looks promising!
Cheers

Thank you so much both Nando and I are doing much better, Very excited about the cookbook!!
Congratulations on having one of your recipes included in Vol 2. I will buy the volume just because you are in it. The index better be improved from the previous one which I believe was just short of really bad. I hope you are feeling better Suzanne. My heart goes out to Cynthia and her friends on the bison ranch who are being confronted with fires as I type. We do live in troubled times.
Thank you so much, I hope also they have worked out the kinks with the 2nd book. I know I feel just terrible for Cynthia and the wonderful people on the bison ranch and everyone impacted.
So glad to see you’re ok. I sent you a message thru Food52 but maybe you didn’t get it. Stay cool during this outrageous summer!
No I didn’t get it, I never get DM’s from food52 anymore others have sent them also, Thanks so much!
I am so sorry to hear of all this. Take good care of your back. I am passing through on Sunday to quickly get to DC. My mom broke her hip and pelvis. I will call you on the way back to see how you are doing. I hope Nando is much improved.
Thanks Bevi I am feeling better and so is Nando, hope your Mom is ok. Please let me know and hope to speak to you soon.
I hope you and Nando are both feeling better, Suzanne! And I, too, am very excited for the next Food52 book! Keep cool and relax…that’s what summer is about.
Thanks Hannah, we are both feeling better now, hope to be back to 100% soon. Hope you have a wonderful summer also.
I’m so sorry to hear about you back! I’ve been wondering where you disappeared to. Congratulations on being in the Food52 cookbook!! That’s so wonderful!
Thank you so much, I am so excited about the cookbook. Going to be a long road I’m afraid for my back to heal, but every day it’s a little better.
