If you get into your Sunday groove by reading Amanda Hesser’s bouncy food coverage in the
Times Magazine, you may have a cold winter ahead of you: Mrs. Latte has gone on a long leave to work on a book and is being replaced in the interim by Jill Santopietro, a lesser being in the
Times firmament but one with much experience doing short
recipe and
travel pieces and the
occasional feature. Will those obsolescent recipes continue? Will there be more pieces à la
T Style’s "Mantry" series? We can only hope. Hesser is scheduled to return to the
Times in March.
