A New Chapter in Angela Kinsey’s Life: From Actress to Chef
The name Angela Kinsey is synonymous with The Office, where she played the role of the uptight senior accountant Angela Martin. However, behind the scenes, Kinsey has been making waves in another domain—cooking. She and her husband, actor Joshua Snyder, have released a cookbook titled “You Can Make This!” that showcases their culinary skills and family-friendly recipes.
“This book is more than just a collection of recipes,” said Kinsey during an interview with Katie Couric Media. “It’s a tangible record of our family, the meals we share, and the time spent cooking together.”
The Cooking Duo’s Inspiration: From Baking with Josh and Ange to the Cookbook
Joshua Snyder, known for his culinary prowess on their YouTube series “Baking With Josh and Ange,” has been a natural in the kitchen. He shares that the cookbook was inspired by their daily cooking routine and the meals they prepare for their three kids.
“Our whole journey as a family is in this book,” said Snyder. “The recipes all mean something to us and to our kids — they grew up with these recipes, and we still make them to this day.”
The title of the cookbook, “You Can Make This!,” was chosen for its encouragement and down-to-earth approach. Kinsey explained that she often gets intimidated by cooking, but Josh always reassures her: “You can make this.” The phrase has become a mantra in their household.
Key Recipes and Tips from the Cookbook
The cookbook features over 100 family-friendly recipes, ranging from one-pot meals to sheet pan dinners. One of Snyder’s top recommendations is the Chicken with Rosemary Lemon Pan Sauce, which he describes as simple yet impressive.
“It’s one of those recipes that feels like you’re at a super fancy restaurant,” said Snyder. “The kids love it, too.”
For Kinsey, her favorite recipe is the soup she made when dating Josh. It’s a surprise to their friends and family because he is usually considered the better cook in the duo.
“I can make a really good soup,” said Kinsey. “It’s one of those dishes that I’m surprised people are so taken aback by.”
Both Kinsey and Snyder emphasized the importance of preparation when cooking for family or guests.
Kinsey, in particular, highlighted how Josh prepares everything ahead of time to reduce stress.
“One of the biggest things I learned from Josh is to prep beforehand—have all the ingredients measured out and ready to go,” said Kinsey. “He puts everything in little bowls, so he can just toss things into the pot or the pan.”
They also advised readers not to be afraid of basic recipes. As Snyder pointed out: “Not everything has to be complicated to taste good. Sometimes just pasta with butter is delicious, and that’s what you’re in the mood for.”
