Of course she created them in her basement kitchen where she also happens to mass manufacture Symphony candy bars - spread the word.Kate's new book, I Just Wish I Had a Bigger Kitchen, And Other Lies I Think Will Make Me Happy, releases in August, 2025, and you can preorder here.On this episode, Kate and Holly had such fun talking favorite sauces, favorite Instagram follows, and unfavorite family vacations.
