Question: We’re getting married in late August! Do you have any cake or dessert recommendations?? (and yes of course you and John and PepperThai are invited)
Chrissy: I had a cream cheese carrot cake! Carrot cake doesn’t get the respect it deserves! The only other flavor I would have considered was vanilla with raspberry buttercream, oh baby. But serve whatever you love and don’t forget you can’t please everybody!
<3 
Question: I made the Pineapple short ribs from your cookbook (paired with the coconut rice) and it was OMG yum. I was able to cook nearly the whole meal while carrying a sick one year old who didn’t want to be put down, which was a huge plus in my mommy book. I wanted to make a double batch of the marinade next time and turn half of it into a sauce to put on everything. Any suggestions on how to turn the marinade into a sauce?
Chrissy: I love that sauce, too! You could strain out the onion and pineapple chunks (or blend the entire thing up) and simmer on low for a while until it reduces and gets nice and sweet!
Question: Most important question you’ll ever receive….where did you get lunas Sesame Street blanket???
Chrissy: It was included in a gift basket they gave us when John sang with all the muppets! If we ever lose it, I’m screwed! I’ve never seen another!
Question: What do you throw together, foodwise, when friends or family drop in without calling first? Do you keep something around “just in case”? I’m always at a loss and usually end up taking them to a restaurant. Thx much!
Chrissy: I lovvvvve always having Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt. Tam triple cream cheese on hand. I always have a round of it in my fridge, and when I’m low, I order more online! I love keeping all sorts of cheeses and honey on hand – then if you find yourself with a bag of tortilla chips in the pantry (nachos!), some stale bread or even just an apple, you can make something great! Apples and cheese drizzled with honey, tortilla chips on a baking sheet layered with random cheese, crumbled ham or bacon. So much can be done with the corners of your fridge and pantry!
Meal wise, as long as you have frozen chicken breast on hand, you can conquer the world.
Question: Cooking for a a man for a third date….what do I make to impress him that is hard to screw up? Eeeeesh help.
Chrissy: My first cookbook has one of my favorite date night recipes ever: my herbed goat cheese stuffed chicken breast. It’s rolled, wrapped in prosciutto and surrounded by popped cherry tomatoes – ohhhhh it is a delight. It is impossible to mess up and impresses people so much that you’ll be ashamed to say how easy it was!
Question: I’ve just been to Bangkok and brought back ingredients to make papaya salad but I forgot to get palm sugar 🤦♀️ I can only find coconut sugar in my supermarket in the granulated form. Do you recommend I use this or should I substitute it for regular caster sugar. My cravings for Som Tam are unreal 😋🍽
Chrissy: Light brown sugar will work just fine!
Question: Hi Chrissy,My oven is terrible so I limited it to roasting, if that. Sometimes it shuts off in the middle of baking, sometimes the temperature is complete off. But I’d like to buy a proper thermometer and start baking again, especially since I’m now obsessed with the Great British Bake Off. Any recommendations? I can’t get a new stove because we’re just renters. Also, where do you shop for Asian ingredients in NYC. Chinatown? Flushing? Other?SincerelyAndrea
Chrissy: Oh man. I, too, suffer from oven issues. This can be tough enough on me, and I’m not even a baker! I don’t really have a specific oven thermometer recommendation, as you’ll still have to check it all the time anyhow 🙁 if baking has really become a passion of yours, there are a ton of affordable countertop ovens that will bring you all the comfort and ease you need! I have a couple just in case I’m making a big meal and need the extra space, but there are so now that are even better than my fancy ass (sometimes-working) built-in oven.
As for ingredients in nyc, most of my Thai stuff comes from Bangkok Center Grocery on Mosco street (a tiny little street near Tribeca). It’s very small but has all the authentic Thai ingredients you could ever need. But my favorite is Kalustyan’s on Lexington. It has EVERYTHING you could ever need. I’ve personally never NOT found something there. Even if you don’t need anything, it is a mecca for getting inspired by medjool dates, banana leaves and spices you’ve never before heard of. There is also a hot sauce wall to rival….any other place with hot sauce walls.
It can be intimidating but the staff are super helpful so ask questions! And get a piece of baklava to-go 🙂
