About Adam Roberts
Hi I’m Adam Roberts, I love to cook, but I don’t take myself too seriously.
Ever since I started my food blog The Amateur Gourmet in January 2004, I’ve been sharing my cooking adventures and mis-adventures with family, friends, and readers just like you.
What do I get with a paid subscription?
All of my recipe posts unlocked: like Barbuto’s legendary kale salad, vegan chocolate cupcakes that taste like the real thing, or this easy overnight focaccia.
Travel posts and New York City-centered posts, like this one about my Top Ten New York Restaurant Meals of 2025 or The Best Things That I Ate on My Book Tour;
Personal essays, like the one where I found I had Parkinson’s disease the week of my book launch or the one where I stopped drinking then started drinking again;
Book content, like my yearly round-ups of the books that I read (2025, 2024, 2023, etc);
The knowledge that you’re supporting my writing! Seriously, it means a lot.
