Holiday Stress, Our One-Minute Cooking Tip, An Interview With Catherine Zhang, Cranberries, Spritz Cookies & More!

Holiday stress. It's terrible everywhere--but maybe nowhere near as bad as in the kitchen.

We've got some answers. We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've written over three dozen cookbooks including a spate of titles for the Instant Pot including The Instant Pot Bible, Instant Pot Bible: Next Generation, From Freezer To Instant Pot: The Cookbook, and Instant Pot Bible: Copycat Recipes.

Although we feel the Instant Pot is a great way to cut down on your holiday stress. We've got some more tips on creating less chaos for yourself in the kitchen.

We've also got a one-minute cooking tip to keep you safe for your big meals at the end of the year. Bruce interviews cookbook author Catherine Zhang about her new book, MOCHI CAKES AND BAKES. And tell you what's making us happy in food this week.
