Today’s guest is Genevieve Ko, deputy editor and columnist for the Food section of The New York Times and NYT Cooking. Each holiday season, the Times celebrates Cookie Week, which features show-stopping treats made by their Cooking team all-stars. Contributors this year include Cherry Bombe faves Melissa Clark, Claire Saffitz, Samantha Seneviratne, and Sohla El-Waylly. Genevieve coordinated this year’s package and joins host Kerry Diamond to talk all about the cookies that made the cut and how everything comes together. They chat about the 2024 Bûche de Noël cookies, turmeric lemon crinkles, and cheesecake stuffed ginger cookies, just to name a few.
Genevieve also shares how she got her start in food media, what it was like working with journalist Mark Bittman and Chef Jean Georges, dreaming about cookies, and more.
