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.

A Week of Precedents, Presidents and Presidential Precedents with Kimberly Atkins
Legal expert and co-host of the #SistersinLaw podcast, Kimberly Atkins, is Marissa’s guest. Kimberly’s brings clarity into the DC Circuit opinion on Trump being a real, actual citizen, the Crumbley involuntary manslaughter conviction in Michigan and Allen Weisselberg’s alleged perjury plea. The impact of these decisions will impact all of us, so we’re glad we have Kimberly’s important legal insights. And, in honor of Swiftie Super Bowl Sunday, Kimberly shares her veggie chili recipe. It seems Atkins really can do it all!

Stop Making Trump Jokes with David Kamp
Marissa’s guest is noted writer David Kamp, who (along with Marissa) is an alumnus of Spy Magazine, which famously coined the term “short-fingered vulgarian” to describe New York real estate celebrity Trump. David discusses his recent editorial for the New York Times where he argues the stakes for our democracy are too high and it’s time to stop laughing at Trump. Which isn’t to say Marissa and David don’t share a chuckle or two on the podcast. Chocolate chip and halvah cookies are baked.

Unexpected and smart combination
Great show. Host has a really good rappor with the guests. I can read about our society but I can’t cook. This show gives me hope.
