Wednesday was Valentine’s Day, but most couples will probably be celebrating their real Valentines this weekend with their loves. Y’know, ’cause work.
In this episode, Jess sits down with her fiancé, Yosef, to talk about how cooking together can strengthen your relationship, plus what you can do to make the cooking process more enjoyable. If you aren’t partnered, no worries! These tips work for the individual chef as well.
We love this recipe from Wendy and Jess and can be found on their website, foodheavenmadeeasy.com.
