I'm so excited to share the latest installment in my Summer Travel Series—this time, we’re heading to one of my absolute favorite parts of the country: the Hudson Valley.


My guest is the charming, witty, and incredibly talented Lidey Heuck—author of the hit cookbook Cooking in Real Life and a food writer for The New York Times.


Lidey lives in the Hudson Valley with her young family and shares recipes, stories, and seasonal inspiration through her blog Lidey Likes and her Substack newsletter Lidey Letter.


Lidey’s culinary journey began with none other than Ina Garten (yes, we talk about Jeffrey!), and since then, she’s established herself as a trusted voice in home cooking, known for recipes that are accessible and beyond delicious.


Her debut cookbook, which came out this spring is one of my all-time favorites!


In our conversation, we talk about her thoughtful approach to recipe writing, how she fell in love with the Hudson Valley, and even a few cautionary foraging tales.


Naturally, we also dive into her favorite local spots—from antique stores and farmers markets to swimming holes and must-visit restaurants.


As a former Hudson Valley resident myself, it was such a joy to compare notes and swap recommendations on the spots that make the region so special. We also highlight a few standouts in nearby Litchfield County and the Berkshires.


Whether you’re planning a trip or just love dreaming about charming getaways, this one’s for you.
