I’m taking over this newsletter from Tejal Rao, and somehow we will get through the last gasp of summer together. Looking forward to homemade chocolate-chip cookies at night got me into the kitchen, and through a lot of hard days. Six months in, the prospect of a cookie — or even a whole sleeve of Thin Mints — isn’t quite enough. So why do I still get excited about new recipes? But spotting our new succotash from Vallery Lomas brought me back to the rhythms of a normal summer.
