We're excited to announce our partnership …

We're excited to announce our partnership with Simmer, a new app that allows you to generate step-by-step recipe videos that you can create, watch, and share from your very own kitchen. In the coming weeks and months, we'll share instructional videos that will teach you how to create tantalizing dishes from JBF Award winners, Beard House chefs, and even Beard himself, all prepared in James Beard's historic New York City kitchen. For our Simmer debut, JBF's editorial director Alison Tozzi Liu demonstrates how to prepare Beard's favorite burger recipe—and shares his secret ingredients. Watch this video to learn how to make it yourself!
