Ever wonder what food people actually cook when guest come over — and why those recipes always work? This week, we're re-releasing our fan-favorite episode with Adam Roberts — aka The Amateur Gourmet. He takes us inside his kitchen, shares his favorite cookbooks and go-to recipes, and tells us all about his fantastic debut novel, Food Person (now out in paperback!). We talk summer cooking, dinner party philosophy, and why even a slightly undercooked salmon can still lead to a great night. By the end of this episode, you’ll: Get a sneak peek at Food Person, Adam’s twisty, funny debut novel and a page-turning, insider look at food media (think The Devil Wears Prada, but for cookbook publishing). Discover the dessert that never fails a dinner party. Find out the #1 mistake home cooks make when hosting, and the mindset shift that turns chaos into calm. Press play for Adam’s best dinner party advice, his all-time favorite cookbooks, and the recipes he relies on most to make hosting feel like a breeze. *** Links: Food Person, Adam’s debut novel is out now!
