Lauren Collins on a food-world star's method and mess.

In 2018, she joined the Times as a food columnist. ("Alison Roman! Alison Roman!" read the headline on a piece announcing her appointment.) At the Times, she specialized in visually enticing recipes that brought a sense of youthful glamour to the staid domain of weeknight cooking. If you wanted to bake some salmon, you went to Mark Bittman; if you went to Alison Roman, you wanted to bake some salmon. She developed a robust following on social media. "Alison has a very strong visual sense and is a quick wit—a combination that made her a trailblazer on Instagram," Lam told me. Home cooks made her recipes and posted pictures; Roman laboriously reposted their handiwork to her account, showing her fans love while making the agnostics wonder if they were missing out on something.

Roman's interview with Dan Frommer of the New Consumer was intended as a business move. She and David Cho had been tossing around the idea of adding some merchandise to her Web site. "He was, like, 'Hey, I'm gonna introduce you to my friend Dan. He does this newsletter that's for people in the tech world and business, and not really your demographic, and I think it'd be really good for you,' " Roman told me. "Normally I would have passed and just been, like, 'What the fuck is the New Consumer?' "

The interview began with the usual pandemic chitchat. As the conversation picked up, it centered on Roman's desire to build a bigger business without sacrificing her principles or the messiness that had made her successful. "Is there anything you really want to do or really don't want to do?" Frommer asked. Roman had sold a TV show to Hulu, though she said production had been stalled by COVID. She was collaborating with a cookware company on a limited-edition line of vintage-inspired spoons. She dreamed of buying a house upstate.

She also knew what she didn't want her future to resemble. "The idea that when Marie Kondo decided to capitalize on her fame and make stuff that you can buy, that is…

A food-world star’s method and mess. This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. Alison Roman approves of creamed greens, knobby lemons, and iceberg lettuce.

Many of you know I’m a huge foodie so naturally I was drawn to this piece. However, I was stunned by the writer’s mention of “casual racism.” It has been on my mind all week and I must ask you WTH is casual racism??? Asking for a friend.

I have to assume they meant microaggressions here, but casual is just not a word I can place next to racism unless we’re referring to, say, the 1920’s…or slavery, which even then it wouldn’t be right.

I have often coached execs that your exit is more important than your entrance. Serena has delivered a master class as she reframes the meaning of retirement. Her farewell is bold, gracious and grounded. One’s next chapter is indeed an evolution not an end.

Happy birthday to an inspiring mentor who once told me in the green room, “Darling, the most wonderful person is you. Be you!” #microsoftdynamics circa 2013-2014. Her journey to Thrive reminded me that there is more to work— it’s life and a life well-lived, benefits and power of sleep/rest and more.

As I celebrate my birthday today, I'm reflecting on how much it’s built into our youth-worshipping culture that we have to do everything by the time we’re 30. But as I’ve learned first-hand, we can build our dreams at any age! #birthday #age #careergoals

Here I responded to the argument that teaching young children about the history of racism is going to make White kids feel bad. Thank you The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for having me. #HowToRaiseAnAntiracist
