Favorite soundtrack while cooking: "I cook every day because I have to feed my kids, but I also cook to unwind. Since the only activity I prefer over cooking in that regard is dancing, I frequently combine the two and crank up the disco for an impromptu kitchen dance party. That, or I listen to my favorite old novels on Audible!"
