This week’s guest is Merrill Markoe, one of the funniest writers around, whether it’s as a trailblazing writer for “The David Letterman Show” or author (and even illustrator) of many novels and non-fiction. Marissa and Merrill attempt to understand many of life’s biggest quandaries, including why in middle school we always fell for the kid least likely to love us back and whether that thing your dog is doing to the couch is considered unconditional love. Merrill’s brings her sugar-free breakfast cookie recipe, that even sugar-lovers will appreciate. See <a href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.

Sugar-Free to Be Merrill and Me

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.
