One of my favorite things about baking is feeding people and sharing my desserts. While the hungry crowd in our office eagerly devours every last crumb that comes out of the Test Kitchen (unless it’s not good, which I must admit, sometimes happens), there’s something extra special about when someone makes a request.
Every so often at Food52 HQ, our team holds board meetings in a conference room fittingly named “Cheese Board.” (I know. It’s great.) They usually order catering for lunch, but more often than not, they also ask the Test Kitchen to supplement the menu. To be completely honest, these requests initially spike my heart rate—probably because I’m such a perfectionist and never want to serve something I’m not 100 percent happy with, and most of the time, when I cook for internal events, I’m working with a recipe that’s still in the testing phase or creating something completely new.
