Do you wish you cooked more but don't know where to start? I wrote THE SECRET OF COOKING for anyone who needs ideas for how to cook when you are tired/stressed/alone/have terrible knife skills/all of the above. Here are the covers! (@wwnorton & @4thEstateBooks)

How does water taste to you? We are going to create new @tastedfeed lessons, helping children develop a preference for plain water (+informing why clean water matters/how devastating it is to be without it). If anyone here has learned ways to enjoy water more, do tell me. .

This is just to say thank you again to everyone who has cooked from THE SECRET OF COOKING. It’s a third off at Amazon U.K. until dec 1st. But know I would be every bit as delighted if you got it from one of the great independent booksellers who have supported it. Or a library.

P.S. Here is a chance to see someone's tastes changing before your very eyes, because a teacher helped her find her own courage to try. I know we are all primed to give up on videos after 10 seconds these days. But the magic here happens around 40 seconds in. @tastedfeed.

Do you remember your very first taste of plum? Headteacher ⁦@jasorourke⁩ of ⁦@washingborough⁩ recorded this three year-old trying her first plum as part of ⁦@tastedfeed⁩. She goes from fear to curiosity to joy. As discussed on the @nytopinion⁩ podcast.

Thanksgiving - day of ritual foods- seems a good day to mention that taste may be identity but it isn’t destiny. You can change the foods you love at any age. I recorded this short podcast for @nytopinion on beans and ⁦@tastedfeed⁩ via @NYTOpinion.

Butter-poached carrots from The Secret of Cooking was recipe of the day on @nytcooking! Thank you so much to @ericjoonho for the beautiful write-up (and prodigious recipe testing) which made me see the simplicity of the recipe in a whole new light. 🙏🧡

“If daily life is made up of hundreds of meals. then making slightly disappointing carrots every time is really annoying!” How to have non-disappointing simple vegetable side dishes every time: butter-poach them! @ericjoonho

'Their flavor is distilled and crystalline; if the color orange had a flavor, this would be it'. Thank you to @ericjoonho for this joyous write-up of the butter-poached carrots in THE SECRET OF COOKING. Featuring @raymond_blanc, whose idea it is.

How do universal free school meals benefit a child? In so many ways. Read this important thread from @naomidoesfood on initial findings from London. So far, benefits include reducing household debt and stress and children trying and enjoying new foods (cf @tastedfeed).

63% in receipt of UC reported kids trying new foods. “I love it . he’s telling me he’s had this and he’s had that & I think I wouldn’t know how to cook any of that even if you gave it to me for free!”. 31% of families reported improvement in their child's mental wellbeing.

On these cold days, I can’t say how much comfort I am getting from this book of NEW SCOTTISH BAKING from @SueHLawrence. Cheese scones, flapjacks, oatcakes, bannocks, shortbread and so much more. It would make a lovely present.
