Two summers ago when Melissa Clark, the cookbook author and Good Appetite columnist for the New York Times, told me she had a baby on the way and a kitchen renovation about to start, I raced over to her Brooklyn apartment to catch the calm before the storm.
Recently, I returned to watch her develop a recipe (Rustic Shrimp Bisque in today’s NY Times) and check in to see how all the improvements were serving this seasoned chef and mother.
