Can you make money as a recipe tester? Yes! My interview with Bonnie Benwick, formerly of The Washington Post, explains how she does it. Spoiler: It's not just about whether the recipe "works." https://t.co/lWGCo00vmX

I've got a new interview with @davidlebovitz and how he thinks about his long career as a food writer, social media maven, newsletter writer, and former blogger. Plus he's hilarious when talking about the influencers he supposedly competes with. https://t.co/66owahhdXD

From 2019 - 2022 I presented over 100 episodes of Out To Lunch: interviews with interesting people in top restaurants. Now the BBC has put a load of them on Sounds so you can listen to them ad free. And they've interviewed me about the show. https://t.co/FbsbqkgdxU
