Every few days Sam Sifton, a former restaurant critic for the New York Times and now one of that newspaper’s most senior editors, emails out a newsletter full of cheery cooking tips and recipe ideas. The tone of a recent instalment suggests that Sifton, a quietly urbane man with the air of someone who has seen quite enough of everything thank you very much, is starting to lose it.
