On June 2, 2015, I emailed Whitson Gordon, then editor-in-chief of Lifehacker, about a freelance writing opportunity on a fairly new, food-focused blog called “Skillet.” Eight years, five EICs, four corporate owners, at least as many CEOs, and two union contract negotiations later, I’m moving on. I’m just as surprised…

The sformati is a boon for us lazy soufflé lovers. This tender, airy, and…
