Best NYT Cooking Recipes – The New York Times
Of all the memorable comments on Cooking, one about a home-wrecking brownie recipe may be the most famous of all. Sydne Newberry, a nutrition researcher and writer, was at work one day when she came across this widely published recipe, which she’d made before. “Something told me that I just had to write that comment,” she said, “probably because I live in a world of irony.” A few weeks later, her administrative assistant clued her in that it had gone viral. Ms. Newberry has been interviewed about the comment many times, even appearing on “Inside Edition” in 2017. “For years, people would ask me to bake the brownies and bring them to everything,” she said. These days, life is a little calmer for Ms. Newberry. Long since remarried, she hasn’t spoken to the ex in question in more than 30 years.
“This has been my go-to brownie recipe for 30 years, even after going to baking school! I agree that using the best cocoa possible makes a difference. These days, I use Callebaut. In the ’80s, an acquaintance in Germany to whom I brought some of the brownies, and who considered herself a great cook, asked for the recipe but was never able to get it to work. She kept asking me what she was doing wrong and I was never able to solve her problem. Eventually, she moved to the U.S. and stole my husband!” — Sydne Newberry, a reader
