It’s Thursday, which means today’s podcast episode is a quickie. First off, I share my most favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. For the record, I’m not the only one who loves this recipe. Right after I finished recording the episode, my friend Carrie texted me to say she makes the recipe all the time since I brought her cookies when she had her baby and she thinks of me each time she makes them. Really, people, it’s the best recipe out there. I also wax poetic about my favorite kitchen appliance. Enjoy!

Shownotes:

• Honey Goat Cheese Pizza
• The BEST most reliable chocolate chip cookie recipe ever
• Blog post I mention where I give an update on products I’ve tried and like
• A post about why toaster ovens rule

Today’s Thursday Recipe & a Tip is all about chocolate. I could talk for days about chocolate. I limited myself to 11 minutes this time around, but I think I’m going to have to do more chocolate-themed episodes. Because 11 minutes is not enough time to tell you all the ways to make perfect chocolate in your kitchen. Anyway, today I share one of my most favorite chocolate recipes with you as well as the secret ingredient you can use in your cooking to make chocolate rich in flavor.

Please note: In this episode I mention that the SoNo Baking Company is in New York, but I meant Connecticut. I grew up in the “tri state area” (which is essentially NYC/Long Island, Northern New Jersey and Connecticut). Apparently my subconscious considers all of that “New York.” 😉

Shownotes:

• Cocoa powders I love: E. Guittard Cocoa Rouge and Scharffen Berger Cocoa Powder
• Scharffen Berger Truffles Recipe
• Scharffen Berger Cookbook
• SoNo Chocolate Ganache Cake
• The SoNo Baking Company Cookbook
