As a lot as I’d prefer to delude myself into considering it’s nonetheless summer season, the cool air, the maxed-out September schedules, and the creep of Halloween sweet in my native Key Meals is suggesting in any other case. To take the sting out of this somber actuality, I carry you spiced lamb, a hearty salad, a soothing pear and almond cake, and what follows beneath . . .

We revived extra gems from the Dansk archive, this time two trivets by Gunnar Cyrén, the celebrated Swedish designer who resisted working for Dansk for a very long time—however later created greater than 300 designs for the corporate. The unique trivets had been product of plastic and designed for outside entertaining; we upgraded to forged iron, making them extra sturdy and, nicely, helpful!

You possibly can learn extra in regards to the elusive Cyrén right here. And see certainly one of his flatware designs, which is used on the annual Nobel Prize award dinners.

Final week was an enormous second for our sister model Schoolhouse, the Portland-based lighting and furnishings firm. It launched a home collection in collaboration with the style firm Clare V. Among the many 20 items are a striped couch, brightly-colored job lamps, and jaguar-patterned rugs. The New York Times thought it was all fairly nifty. And we had a buzzy little social gathering on the Clare V. retailer in West Hollywood. You possibly can try the gathering here. A couple of of my favourite items: the task lamp, the lumbar pillow, and checkered shag rug.

Our Head of Content material, Josh Younger, and his workforce have been busy filming brand-new Food52 cooking reveals. Our latest one, Sure, Chef, simply debuted, and take a look at Erika Learns, the place our CEO will get a crash course within the culinary arts. Lesson #1: one-skillet chicken thighs with dates and olives with Tamron Corridor and Lish Steiling.

As promised, some extra highlights from my sourcing journey to Paris and Antwerp with Food52 GM, Jojo:

I depart you with a photograph of mankind’s best invention, which I found in Antwerp: butter wrapped like items of sweet.
