I have a confession: I cannot cook. So instead of pretending otherwise, I decided to make it a whole thing. Welcome to Carrie On! in the Kitchen, a new segment where I invite real cooks, chefs, and cookbook authors into my kitchen to teach me how to make something I'd otherwise ruin on my own. We cook, we chat, and we watch a movie together while it all comes together.

Episode One
Making Pasta with Matteo Lane
Join me in the kitchen as I share a few things I love: Matteo Lane, pasta and Little Women. I cook two dishes from Matteo's cookbook, Your Pasta Sucks. Matteo Lane taught me pasta from scratch while we watched Little Women — proof that carbs and a good cry go together perfectly.
Episode Two
Dumplings with Celebrity Chef, Katie Chin
Chef Katie Chin joined me to teach the art of the dumpling — folds, filling, and all the tricks I was definitely getting wrong. Today we are making traditional Chinese Potsticker while watching Crazy Rich Asians. Potstickers are beloved around the world and were one of her mother's signature dishes. Katie continues to follow in the footsteps of her mom, historic restaurateur Leeann Chin.
Episode Three
Vietnamese Egg Rolls with Samantha Luu
I'm joined by Samantha Luu, Co-founder of Every Day Action, to make her family recipe of Vietnamese Egg Rolls as we watch The Goonies! Samantha walked me through rolling (and re-rolling, and re-rolling) Vietnamese egg rolls from scratch. Hey You Guys…click the video to make egg rolls with us!
Get In Touch
More kitchen chaos (and better movies than I deserve) coming soon. If you are a cook, know a cook or a cookbook I need in my kitchen next, get in touch — I'm taking requests.
Not Counting Carbs,
