[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This wasn't a super in-depth article.[/b]

I have come across and used some of her recipes. I follow HBH on Instagram. I find that her site, Julia Turshen, Chrissy Tiegen, and Smitten Kitchen (Deb Perelman) hit all my spots. I like flavorful, veggie-heavy, vinegary, sweet, sour, salty, spicy, creamy foods.

As a DEIB champion I also am sensitive to the criticism. But an interpretation or inspiration of a recipe isn't cultural appropriation. She might want to give everything a non-cultural/ethic name and say it's inspired by such and such dish or such and such cookbook. But Meh.

She seems lonely. I had no idea. [/quote]

This might be the point - I don’t think the author found her to be a super in-depth person. It starts with describing the one year build up to the interview where she was supposed to make two selected recipes, but she bails and makes an off-handed excuse. I get the feeling that the author anticipated learning more about her, but left disappointed. Thus, much of the article is not based on the interview at all, but quotes and events that occurred beforehand and could have been written without an interview at all. [/quote]
