Checking in With Amanda Hesser and Miffy, Hello Kitty’s Frenemy

Just a podcast ep featuring two old pals: Miffy, chic cartoon rabbit, and Amanda Hesser, icon, inspiration, and co-founder of Food52, the site you’ve (we’ve) visited just a few thousand times.

 

First, some Miffy merch: this light that Erica and Cam own, these napkins, this corduroy stuffed animal, and this Converse collab. 

 

A 2008 Daily Telegraph profile of Dick Bruna, the creator of Miffy.

 

The rumored Taylor Swift and Katy Perry collaboration.

 

Our Amanda Hesser fandom runs deep! We love all things Food52, of course, but we’ve been A.H. diehards since we read Cooking for Mr. Latte in the early aughts.

 

A few Amanda kitchen recs: Bien Cuit sourdough starter, Ortwo pepper grinder, and JK Adams two-tiered lazy susan.

 

The go-to recipe when Amanda’s kids are cooking: Zuni's Pasta with Preserved Tuna.
