Our New Cooking Series for Novices Is Here

Food52’s CEO Erika Ayers Badan is skilled at many things—and we’re not just saying that because she’s our boss!—but she doesn’t pretend to be a whiz in the kitchen. So in our brand-new video series, Erika Learns, she calls upon her favorite food-focused friends for some helpful guidance. In the very first episode, Erika invites Emmy-winning talk show host Tamron Hall and Emmy- and James Beard-winning chef and culinary producer Lish Steiling to walk her through a dish from their new cookbook, A Confident Cook: Recipes for Joyous, No-Pressure, Fun in the Kitchen.
