126: Adam Roberts

Yay, Adam Roberts is here for a very special episode. You may know Adam from his pioneering food blog Amateur Gourmet, or from his stint doing videos for the Food Network, which he talks about candidly in this episode (spoiler: it didn’t go so well). What has gone well is Adam’s new newsletter, naturally called the Amateur Gourmet, which is so worth checking out. We touch on many topics, including gossip about his early blogging days, some Food Network memories, his time working in television, his love of British cookbooks, the Broadway cookbook he wrote with Gideon Glick, what he’s cooking, and where to eat in his hometown of Los Angeles. It’s action-packed with Adam Roberts! More from Adam Roberts:Blow-Your-Mind Baked Beans [Amateur Gourmet]Homemade Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting [Youtube]The Amateur Gourmet Podcast Pre-order: Give My Swiss Chards to Broadway
