Welcome to Sunday Reset, where we share how we're unwinding and what we have planned for the week ahead. This time, we're learning to bake from pastry chef and owner Tiara Bennett of The Pastry Box.
Good morning! We don't know about you, but we're in a serious mood for baking. There's something so calming about flour-dusted counters and the promise of something fresh from the oven. At times like this, we look to experts like Tiara Bennett, whose East Village storefront quickly shot to fame for its $2 chocolate chip cookie.
Last week, we launched our new video series starring Tiara herself. The show follows her day-to-day at the store, from early-morning prep to last-minute fixes. Whether you're just getting into baking or simply love a good behind-the-scenes story, the first episode is live now, the trailer's waiting for you, and new ones drop weekly.
Even better: Tiara stopped by our Test Kitchen and made a batch of her viral chocolate‑chunk cookies—and left the recipe. Each cookie has thin, crispy edges and a soft center, plus plenty of caramelized bits for good measure. And if you're gluten-free? You're one swap away from trying it, too.
