Steve Sando Roasts His Fish With Fig Leaves

Image
Daniela Jordan-Villaveces For the Rancho Gordo founder, dinner often means cooking food that’s about to go (and, of course, beans) We all could use a little dinner inspiration — even Ali Slagle, who dreams of dinner . In “Dinner Is Served,” she asks colleagues about one night when they somehow transformed ingredients into dinner with all this life going on. This month’s installment: Steve Sando and his company Rancho Gordo have been supplying and promoting heirloom beans and grains from Napa Valley for over 20 years, but during the pandemic, bean freaks proliferated and his sales skyrocketed . His subscription bean club has swelled to 20,000 members, with a waitlist (it’s now the shortest it’s been in a long while…if you want to sign up). So often my cooking is a race to use up stuff that’s about to go. I think food waste is really sinful and so I really try to not waste anything. Last night I had nuts and cheese for dinner, and the night before that I also wasn’t really i...

Fishwife founder Becca Millstein. | Eva B. Ross Becca Millstein went from negotiating brand deals in the music industry to dealmaking with fishing companies and canneries for her brand Fishwife In How I Got My Job , folks from across the food and restaurant industry answer Eater’s questions about, well, how they got their job. Today’s installment: Becca Millstein. You may have noticed that tinned seafood is having a moment . While it’s always been a beloved delicacy in Portugal and Spain, restaurants and shoppers in the U.S. have only developed a taste for preserved fish in recent years. That’s when Becca Millstein made a crucial observation: None of the high-quality tinned seafood brands gaining popularity were American. She decided to change that. Millstein, who was working in the music industry at the time, teamed up with her TV writer friend Caroline Goldfarb to found Fishwife at the height of the pandemic. The Los Angeles-based business — named for a 16th-century term f...

The Great Food Instagram Vibe Shift

Image
The food blogger aesthetic has given way to something more realistic and DIY: Laissez-faire Instagram food is here For a long time, food looked one way on Instagram. It was the look of crisp, pristinely lit plates seen from above, with sprigs of herbs strewn to appear haphazard, despite the tedious work of styling tweezers; stacks of pancakes and cookies shot at exactly the correct angle to show a blur of eggs, old-timey glass bottles of milk, and an “accidental” dusting of flour in the background. This aesthetic has worked. With its softboxes, fake prop walls, and marble surfaces, it established a generation of bloggers and Instagrammers as professional recipe developers , content creators , and best-selling cookbook authors . I’ve been noticing something, though: This type of content isn’t doing as well as it used to. Big Instagrammers are turning off Like counts and grumbling about their lack of growth. Creators with five-figure followings are struggling to crack a thousand Lik...
