“This is the most cozy, homey, personal, warm book I’ve ever made. If you’re going to own one of my books, it’s this one.”

With her fourth cookbook, Something from Nothing, a new sauce line, and a pop-up pantry shop in NYC, the bestselling author and home-cooking icon, , is opening her shelves—and her world—to us all.

JO: What do you hope people take from the new book?

AR: Food doesn’t have to look perfect, or look produced. Be messy. Let things be natural. Food is delicious. Food is meant to nourish. And not everything needs a hat on a hat. Not everything needs an additional sauce. Understand when something simple is the most delicious version of something.

JO: I could not agree more. At the same time, I’m still taking pictures of my food.

AR: That’s OK. Me too.

JO: Thank you for that. I posted a picture of a tuna sandwich I bought recently, because it had lemon rind, garnish, and flash, and I wanted to make the point that you don’t need all that. Let tuna be tuna.

AR: Yeah, take it off.

“While I have some stake in the tariff discussion, bemoaning them feels like playing as a pawn in a pre-ordained chess game… I have no desire to play.”
