There’s something about the smell of chocolate chip cookies, baking in the oven. It’s relaxing, and wonderful. Maybe it reminds me of home, of being little. There are plenty of things that smell great when they are cooking, my chocolate chip cookies are one of a kind!

A good peppermint hot chocolate isn’t easy to find. It has to have the perfect amount of peppermint – enough to taste, but not enough to overpower the hot chocolate. The chocolate itself is important, too. A good, not too sweet but still tasty chocolate. Mix them together in steamed milk (or soy milk!), and [...]

My secret for perfect garlic mashed potatoes? You don’t want to overmix mashed potatoes, because the starch gets released and they get all gummy – so after boiling the potatoes I push them through a potato ricer.
