Salmon in the Dishwasher? Hannah Goldfield’s Highlights of Culinary TikTok

Hannah Goldfield writes The New Yorker’s column On and Off the Menu, and when she’s not writing about food, she’s watching people make it on social media—some good food, and some horrible. She shares a few highlights of culinary TikTok: a chef couple with a kitchen so small usually take turns cooking; a guy who rants about other video creators’ weird cooking stunts; and a mother of eight on a dairy farm who makes everything from scratch, including the noodles for the lasagna and the marshmallows for the rocky road ice cream. “I think she’s totally pulling your leg,” David Remnick insists. “I don’t care,” Goldfield says. “I love the fantasy of it.”
