I'm half of the NYTimes bestselling cookbook writing team behind over thirty cookbooks, including THE INSTANT POT BIBLE, THE ULTIMATE COOKBOOK, and THE ESSENTIAL AIR FRYER COOKBOOK. I'm (recently!) a memoirist, too, with BOOKMARKED: HOW THE GREAT WORKS OF WESTERN LITERATURE F*CKED UP MY LIFE. I host two literary podcasts: WALKING WITH DANTE, the only slow-walk through Dante's masterwork COMEDY; and LYRIC LIFE, a podcast about lyric poetry. I also co-host COOKING WITH BRUCE AND MARK, a podcast and YouTube channel with his husband, Bruce Weinstein. A former academic, I now teach eight-week literary seminars across my part of of the world on Virginia Woolf, William Faulkner, Emily Dickinson, and more; and I lead two book discussion group, one ...more

Writers write. It's hackneyed advice, but it's nonetheless true. I worked for four years on my memoir--and I ran to my desk every time I had the chance to work on parts of it. (My husband and I also published six cookbooks over those four years--and those books kept me plenty busy.) Now that my memoir is out, I've stopped writing my own stuff--which is a terrifying prospect. (We do have another cookbook due to Little Brown in December.) In other words, I know this truth from experience: that lull when you're not writing. The only way out is to go back to it. Me, too. It's painful and scary. I've printed off a bunch of fragments at least half a dozen times. Thrown them away that many times. Because I'm letting my own fears stand in the way of what happens next. But writers write. Me, too.(less)

I'm busy trying to tame the chef's recipes into something that can be printed as a book! I've also got pieces of novels on my computer--but just don't seem to find the time to get to them since I'm in the middle of eight weeks on MIDDLEMARCH via zoom to over 250 people. Maybe this winter!(less)

Ever wanted to read Dante's COMEDY?

Have I got a podcast for you! A little over a year ago, I started one that's a slow walk through this monumental piece of literature. I've taught the COMEDY several times in my life--once over seventeen, two-hour sessions. But I've always felt rushed. I wanted to take Dante's masterwork at my own pace. So I set out walking with the pilgrim across the known universe, a few lines at a time, a few st Read more of this blog post »
