This week, Marissa is joined by defense intelligence officer, veterans’ affair advocate – and one of the few people who bring sense and joy to Twitter--Travis Akers. Together they take on what has been a grueling week of news and Travis manages to carve out some hope in a dark, dark week. The smell of melted chocolate and butterscotch chips as they recreate a favorite recipe from his childhood helped, too. But isn’t that why we love cookies?

Is that Joy I Smell Cooking? with Travis Akers

At The Secret Life of Cookies we know that kitchens are the heart of the home. They’re where families come together, where food comes from and where some of the best conversations take place. Kitchens are where the power is (even nasty President Jackson with his “kitchen cabinet” thought so), and where the baked goods are, which is why Marissa Rothkopf, the host, spends so much time in the kitchen. On The Secret Life of Cookies we will bring you into those conversations with some smart, interesting people who like to cook and have something to say. Pull up a chair up at our kitchen table, and join us as we cook and discuss the important issues of today. 
 
Marissa Rothkopf is a professionally trained chef and food writer who has done everything from restaurant reviews for the New York Times to writing a column on kitchen gadgets for Newsweek. She teaches journalism at Montclair State University and gets nervous when asked to make custard.
