It’s hard for me to believe, but today is my final recipe while filling in for Daniela Galarza at The Washington Post. I have learned so much over the past five months while keeping her seat warm, including the stamina it takes to write and the value of a band of smart, insightful editors who make it all sound and look so much better than I could alone.

Most of all, I have been buoyed by your engagement, whether it’s responding to the questions I’ve posed, cooking the recipes we’ve featured and sharing the results on social media, or just sending a kind note along the way.
