About this episode
The Amateur Gourmet by Adam Roberts was probably one of the first food blogs you ever read. Now he's written a fun novel called Food Person, and joined host Maggie Hoffman for a conversation about the cookbooks that shaped his path, what he tries to remember about giving up dinner perfection, and the hosting lessons he's gleaned over the course of many, many dinner parties.
