It’s the return of Food Writers Talking About Food Writing. Every couple of weeks, Matt invites a journalist to talk about some favorite recent food writing as well as their thoughts on the industry as a whole. In today’s episode, we talk with Maggie Hoffman. Maggie is a cookbook author, editor, and founder of the terrific Substack ⁠The Dinner Plan⁠ (and podcast). We talk about her days working at Serious Eats and Epicurious, and we dig into some recent food writing that got us talking.
