Food52 Works - new imprint

Publishers Lunch 

Food52, the social website for cooks founded by Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, will set up a cookbook imprint at Ten Speed Press called Food52 Works. Hesser and Stubbs will be involved "in shaping the development and direction" of the line, for which Ten Speed associate publisher Hannah Rahill will be general editor.

The initiative delivers on the promise the site made a year ago to "expand our publishing platform through an innovative partnership with Random House Inc.," after Bertelsmann Digital Media Investments was a significant contributor to a $2 million financing round for Food52.


The line expects to publish three or four books years, starting in spring 2015. Food52 executive editor Kristen Miglore is writing the launch title, based on a popular site column: Genius Recipes: 100 Recipes That Will Change the Way You Cook. Two single-subject books (on vegan cooking, and baking) will follow that fall.
