Anne Burrell Shares Holiday Cooking Tips for Amateurs, Plus a Taylor Swift-Approved Cookie Recipe!


Chef Anne Burrell exclusively tells Closer how folks at home can become a pro in the kitchen during the holidays, and shares her chocolate chip cookie recipe.

“Read recipes all the way through before you start,” she explains, “because people [will be] having a dinner party, making short ribs and then see, ‘Put it in the oven for three hours.’ And they’re like, ‘Oh no!’” Here, the season 4 Chopped All-Stars winner — who wed marketing exec Stuart Claxton in October 2021 — talks to Closer ’s Fortune Benatar about her kitchen do’s and don’ts and her Taylor Swift-approved cookies. AB: When I was a kid, we had a big garden and my mom would say, “Go pick lettuce for dinner or dig up some potatoes.” Cooking was like an arts-and-crafts project with something to eat at the end.
