Taxes, Martha Stewart, & Cheese.

Good morning. Tomorrow's Tax Day—and to soften the pain of life's third guarantee, we present society's one decent levy: the cheese tax. Whether collected by a pug named Chicken Joe or an always-hungry uncle, your fromage duty is inevitable. So, you might as well lean in, and dive head first into our sixteen best mac and cheese recipes.

Speaking of taxes, Martha Stewart had a busy week on our site. On Comment Patrol, we evaluated the spiciness of her beloved one pan pasta. To extend the Martha celebration (that's another tax reference), here are four of her best recipes.

Raw Sweet Potato, Celery & Apple Salad

Slab Pie

Slow-Cooker Tom Kha Gai

Slow-Cooker Italian Braised Pork Shoulder

Proper Sundays start with spuds—and thanks to the most recent episode of Break An Egg, you've got a comprehensive roadmap for making breakfast potatoes three ways.

If it's the afternoon and you're reading this to drown out conversations of drivers, five irons, and someone named Scottie—you're possibly more interested in a glass of something crisp and dry than hash browns. In that case, we recommend pouring whatever you're sipping into the hand blown wine glasses we most recently profiled on That's Cool. Who Made It?

And in the event that you've given up on Sunday, allow us to redirect your attention to this Wednesday, April 17th, as James Beard Award-winning cookbook author and "Diva of Desserts" Rose Levy Beranbaum will be popping into the Food52 Baking Club for AMA at 2PM EST. Come talk pies and pastries with her, you never know who else might join in. (The last AMA we held, Dorie Greenspan entered the chat.)

With warm weather around the corner, we asked our team what they're most excited to sip in the sun. Kiernan, our creative operations manager, found inspiration in Louisville.

"Mint Julep!"

In preparation for the Kentucky Derby, here's our go-to Mint Julep recipe.

That's a wrap for this week!

See you next Sunday for more chatter about what's happening at Food52 HQ.
