Big applause to @patricknathan for leading the charge, fearlessly tackling two recipes from Kate Leahy et. al’s intimidating SPQR: Modern Italian Food and Wine; lightweight me used the totally brilliant and accessible Milk Street Tuesday Nights to do pasta alla gricia (test shot) https://t.co/OVxgkOR6gZ

For Today I Am a Boy

Kim Fu
Heather McCormackHeather McCormack

Over the moon to have Kim Fu’s new story collection, LESSER KNOWN MONSTERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY, in my TBR pile. Fu’s debut, FOR TODAY I AM A BOY, remains a favorite for its portrayal of a trans Chinese character and how she was forced to live a double life in small-town Ontario https://t.co/CDAjsQcSGr

Jerry Saltz
Heather McCormackHeather McCormack

My latest audiobook: Jerry Saltz’s Art Is Life, a chronological collection of 20 years’ worth of essays/reviews of anyone who’s made a ripple or wave in art since the late 1990s to today. It’s wonderful to have a book that fills in the cracks of my years in NYC as an art-goer https://t.co/K4aTYR7vxR
