Amanda Hesser (born 1971) is an American food writer, editor, cookbook author and entrepreneur. Most notably, she was the food editor of ''The New York Times Magazine'', the editor of ''T Living'', a quarterly publication of ''The New York Times'', author of The Essential New York Times Cookbook which was a ''New York Times'' bestseller, and co-founder and CEO of Food52. After finishing her first book, in 1997, Hesser was hired as a food reporter for ''The New York Times'' where she wrote more than 750 stories. While at the ''Times'' Hesser wrote about the influence of Costco on the wine industry, uncovered the politics behind the New York City Greenmarket and was among the first to write about Ferran Adria of El Bulli in a major American publication. Hesser was involved in two cases of conflict of interest while working at the ''Times''. In 2004, she awarded the restaurant Spice Market a three-star rating without disclosing that the year before, the restaurant’s owner, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, had provided a complimentary jacket blurb for her book ''Cooking for Mr. Latte''. In 2007, Hesser published a favorable review of ''Vegetable Harvest'' by Patricia Wells, without noting that in 1999, Wells had provided a jacket blurb for Hesser’s book ''The Cook and the Gardener''. In both cases, the ''Times'' subsequently pointed out the conflicts of interest with editors’ notes. While Hesser left the ''Times'' in March 2008 to focus on the development of Food52 she continued to write the "Recipe Redux" feature for the ''Times'' magazine until February 27, 2011. As co-founder and CEO of Food52 she has raised two rounds of investment from parties including Lerer Hippeau Ventures and Bertelsmann Digital Media Investments. Food52 has won numerous notable awards including the James Beard Award for Publication of the Year (2012) and the IACP Award for Best Website (2013). Hesser was featured in ''Food & Wines ''40 under 40'' list, was named one of the 50 most influential women in food by ''Gourmet'' Magazine, and had a cameo as herself in the film ''Julie & Julia''. Hesser lives in Brooklyn Heights with her husband, Tad Friend, a staff writer for ''The New Yorker'', and their two children. ==Bibliography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amanda Hesser」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
