Wish I had read this before I had cereal for dinner lol. Came back from yet another soul-sucking walk in the heat with my senior dog and had no motivation to do anything.
Oh Hetty, dear Hetty ... First, the book is gorgeous. I can't wait to hold it, to cook from it and to be in the kitchen together through your recipes.
Second, thank you so much for writing about doubt. It is such a present feeling in the work we do. Yesterday, I was at a friend's book signing and someone said to me, "I see you've got a new book coming out." When I nodded yes, he asked, "Is it good?" All I could say was, "I hope so." Doubt and hope, a writer's constant companions - xoxo Dorie
Thanks for your heartening words Dorie. It’s nice to know that you share these feelings of doubt (despite being one of the most prolific cookbook authors). We are human. We feel.
I cannot wait to bake from Anytime Cakes and celebrate having another Dorie book in the world. Hope to see you soon xx
Making this right now. I’m roasting the cabbage because my husband requested something hot! But wow the sauce is divine. Very sexy moussey quality. I sense this is going to be a house favorite. We always have cabbage and tofu on hand. And peanut butter. Woooo!
Delicious! I would happily eat this every day! And the doubt yes! It creeps upon us all. Proud of you for not letting it devour you and for looking for hope! Always try to look for the balance. ❤️❤️

I COMPLETELY GET IT! I was like that this morning. I hope you get to try it another day Jocelyn. Plenty more HOT days ahead
Do you have any guidance on “baked tofu.“ I have a bunch of recipes. Just plain or should I add spices?
The baked tofu is store bought. This is an example but there are lots of brands - https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/wildwood-organic-savory-baked-tofu-b00ftbcw7y
They are great because they don’t have to be cooked. They can go straight into salads.
As an alternative, you could panfry or bake extra firm tofu. I’d season with salt and pepper and perhaps toss on a little soy sauce before cooking.
Great. Thanks for the detail. My local store (a Whole Foods, no less) has such a poor selection of tofu that I didn’t even think of store bought!
here's to linger, relief, inner peace and that perf peanut sauce!!!
All of this. Thank you Jess!

Really looking forward to Linger! Tenderheart is my most used cookbook!
I am delighted to hear that. I’m excited for you to lean into the world of Linger ❤️

Love this lede, Hetty ❤️
Thank you Mahira!!
I always look forward to seeing your recipes. LINGER is a work of art and a treasure for the palate.
We never know what to expect from each new day, but we can only hope for the best.
Jane Eyre has always been one of my favorite books. Another is To Kill a Mockingbird.
Thank you Linda. Appreciate your kind words.
And we share similar literary tastes!
