Food Lab's Kenji López-Alt Does Not Have A New Cookbook For You
Food Lab's Kenji López-Alt Does Not Have A New Cookbook For You

I know, I know. The title of this post is intentionally trying to make you look. But it’s also true, because one of our favorite writers, Kenji López-Alt of Serious Eat’s Food Lab, is taking his time before creating a followup to his smash first cookbook. Lucky for me (and anyone with kids in their life) his next project was a kids book all about celebrating diversity in food. The book is Every Night is Pizza Night and it explores what it really means for a single food to be the best. It’s a conversation we all have, children and adults.

I had a wonderful chat with Kenji about the book, the importance of trying unfamiliar foods, and what is up next on his docket.

Kwame Onwuachi Wants to Make All Ages Love Flavor
Kwame Onwuachi Wants to Make All Ages Love Flavor

When I had my son suddenly everyone started talking to me about ‘baby food’ and ‘kid food.’ I had never been raised with the idea that somehow kids got to eat something different - we always just ate whatever my parents ate.

Kids are sponges and you can teach them to love and appreciate food by giving them diversity and flavors from an early age.

Crab in Summer Squash Bowls
Crab in Summer Squash Bowls

I’m a total sucker for any dish that comes in a little contained bowl. It’s cute, fun and makes everything feel like a party. It’s even better when it’s easy. These little circular summer squash make the perfect vessel for a summery, simple delight. Pre-cooked crab meat and a little bit of cheese round out this dish - it’s as easy as can be but somehow still feels like a special occasion. And don’t fret if you don’t have this kind of squash - you could make this just as easily with your standard piece of zucchini.

Making the Most of Summer Produce
Making the Most of Summer Produce

As much as I love cooking and sharing, the last few months have been particularly strange for me as someone who loves to learn from others. So even though it is looking like it will still be months before we can have a proper guest back in the kitchen, I am determined to keep learning from experts and bringing them to you! A little technology can go a long way!
