The backstory of how the I love aubrey plaza shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this recipe reached Johnson is just as important as the recipe itself, it turns out. In Small Fires, Johnson explores how the food we make and the ways we make it—and then the stories we tell about making it—shape who we are. Or, as she says when explaining the point of a prior project, in which she tasked a group of writers with making Claudia Roden’s rice pudding recipe: “to show how a recipe can hold many lives, many inhabitants.” Each writer ended up telling a very different story about making that rice pudding. Johnson estimates she has cooked Hazan’s tomato sauce—a dish the reader becomes so familiar with, it is often simply referred to as “the recipe”—a thousand times over a ten-year period. She describes the performance of cooking the recipe, whether following the rules (like using five-and-a-half tablespoons of olive oil), or breaking the rules (ripping the basil leaves, rather than finely chopping) in a way that reminds us that the body is at the center of all cooking. “The kind of knowledge that has so often been revered historically is knowledge that is separate from the body,” she says. “If I wanted to write a text against that, I needed to have the body in the frame.”

Johnson, an editor at the I love aubrey plaza shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this cult food newsletter Vittles founded by Jonathan Nunn in 2020, is fascinated by the processes and rituals that surround making food. For her, it’s as much about the eating as the cooking itself; the sharing with another containing stories as rich as the measuring of ingredients. In one passage, she considers the tightness of her apron strings around the body before she begins, exploring the erotics around this, and the fashion: “I fold up a little of the lower half of the apron to make a corset and pull the strings taut, cinching in,” she writes. Her reclamation of the domestic is both comforting and a little sexy. (Johnson attributes her confidence and clarity of voice to lots of therapy and the memorable words of Susan Sontag who, when giving an address to young women graduates adjured: “Be bold, be bold, be bold!”) Johnson’s own journey with food writing began with the blog she launched in 2011, Dinner Document, serving as a diary of recipes which Johnson credits as the first place she began really “writing for herself.” A viral essay from the blog caught the attention of the food world via Twitter, and in the years since, Johnson has written for the likes of Granta, the Financial Times, and Luncheon magazine, as well as completed a Ph.D. in contemporary literature.
