From Dunder Mifflin to Your Dinner Table
Angela Kinsey, beloved for her role as the uptight accountant Angela Martin on The Office, is showcasing a different side of herself—one that’s warm, inviting, and centered in the kitchen. Alongside her husband, actor Joshua Snyder, Kinsey has launched her debut cookbook, You Can Make This!: More Than 100 Family Favorite Recipes.
The book is a natural progression for the couple, who have already welcomed fans into their home through their YouTube series, Baking With Josh and Ange. In the series, Snyder typically plays the culinary expert while Kinsey acts as the enthusiastic sous chef, a dynamic they’ve translated into a collection of simple, mouth-watering dishes for any home cook.
A Cookbook Years in the Making
For Kinsey and Snyder, this cookbook wasn’t a spontaneous project. It was a long-held hope that took years to perfect, ensuring every recipe was a true family staple. “This book is more than a cookbook for us — it’s a tangible record of our family,” Kinsey explained. Snyder added, “Our whole journey as a family is in this book. The recipes all mean something to us and to our kids.”
What’s in a Name?
The title itself, You Can Make This, is a direct quote from Snyder, who has spent years encouraging Kinsey and their children in the kitchen. “I get intimidated while cooking sometimes,” Kinsey admitted. “And for years, Josh has said to me and the kids, ‘You can make this.’ He’s always been our cheerleader.”
Simple Secrets for a Stress-Free Kitchen
Worried you don’t have what it takes? The couple’s primary goal is to eliminate that fear. Their top advice for making home cooking fun and manageable is simple yet transformative: preparation. “One of the biggest things I learned from Josh is to prep beforehand — have all the ingredients measured out and ready to go,” Kinsey shared. “You’re less stressed because everything’s ready.”
Snyder emphasized this point, stating, “90 percent of feeling comfortable is just making sure that you’re prepared. And don’t be afraid to be basic.”
A Dish for Every Occasion
For anyone looking to fall back in love with cooking, Snyder recommends the “Chicken with Rosemary Lemon Pan Sauce,” a simple recipe that tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant. Kinsey also revealed a surprising dish that would shock her Dunder Mifflin colleagues: a “killer meatball soup.” Considering her television counterpart was a strict vegetarian, she joked, “I don’t think that Angela Martin would imagine that soup is the way to Dwight’s heart.” But, as she and Snyder confirm, it’s definitely the way to his.
