Food 52 co-founders Amanda Hesser & Merrill Stubbs offer a step-by-step guide to creating new dinners, lunches, and even desserts by cooking ahead and using leftovers creatively.

Food writers and editors Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs talk about discovering and celebrating the best home cooks in the country. Each week for 52 weeks, they ran recipe contests on their website, Food52.com, and the 140 winning recipes make up their book The Food52 Cookbook: 140 Winning Recipes from Exceptional Home Cooks.
