faith thanks for watching in today on princeton community television i want to introduce you to a very special guest you know challenge to people is always about risk takers but that i we have someone extra special in that regard he's not only a risk taker he's a wisk taker and he's taken on a whole line of eight different products that you can buy to make for your family and learn how to do what every  business again very creative title with tanker and on line it's be a with taker we always take your dot com yes so list takers as and at home baking kit where we send you pre measured ingredients step by step directions will teach you how to bake from scratch out of a box a little bit more in depth than the one that you might buy in the store so not only do we help you bake from scratch but we also help you become creative in the kitchen so i first thing i want to say is that when you say that so quickly it's very interesting because what you're kind of comparing to is if you were to go in and buy like a brownie box right right you go in you get like brownie stuff and maybe some putting or something right in your life on your own that's it so let's just start with the beginning and tell us a little bit about what is in this box he has eight different boxes so inside this box are going to pick whatever recipe you like you can also subscribe three six month subscription is where we can send you random recipes or you can choose specifically breakfast brownies or our top seller stuff like that if you like a surprise or you want to give it as a great gift for an experience for people that don't like a subscription to give us a gift yeah you can buy a three month subscription to someone as a gift and it's teach them something new and give them an experience that they may be too afraid to try without your push so you get this box you pick the recipe that you would like and inside comes you got a whole number in the bird and everything so this is foolproof because i need that and i hear people all the time tell me how difficult baking is and how they can do it and i think to myself i barely made it through high school so if i could bake anyone can do it and so i just want to take some of that fear out of baking ok so do it so this is what you get and you get in the box and it comes as one of these cars that has all of our instructions on it but it's only like a small little one page  instructions here that's it and no matter what we're going to make first we're going to make my grandfather's was that you're ok and so on yeah so it's a really wonderful recipe because people don't do a lot with pistachio and also there's not a ton of icing in sugar in it so it's not very rich and processed as it's just delicious so we'll jump right in and i'll show you how to do it i'm going to put it in this nice bumpin so i will read the instructions you want to read them to me and i'm  reasons and so we provide everything but the dairy products so in this recipe and before you purchase you'll know what you need to buy so if you see here on the front from the front side you'll say things that you know they just like when you have like the i and they always buy like a cookie dough thing and they just cut them up and they're all want to pan right you're like let's learn something yeah don't get me wrong i think cookie dough is great if you're depressed and want to eat alone and bad i think that's wonderful but you should be baking from s sure which i have little kids again i've done yeah my grandchildren my eleven year old cousin made this recipe and her mom was upset because she didn't let her help her enough so the eleven year old did it all on our own didn't need any to be a little bit of a shock right so sprinkle it in the this is a place where you can kind of do what you feel so people love to cook because it's a lot less precise and measurable they can kind of just throw stuff in there like an artist or you know you got to have your own you got everything you need to go in with baking you have to be a little bit more precise at some points and then you get to have a little bit more fun and some others so you get to learn how to be precise and you get the whole fun too so now now the bowl viewers do what you want you want to do a little bit a cute fun kind of thing i love cupcakes that's why i have it there so my grandfather taught me how to make the cake i turn the cupcakes we argue incessantly over which recipe is better  so that we have for the pistachio we also have maple pecan blondie so if you love nuts we have that as well and then here we have the smores brownies this is our best seller really something about watching the teddy grams swim know all ages are definitely i love or yeah people love it i think from i think just from the way it looks and just even in the stalls you have like sitting by a bonfire with with people i'm big on family in a stall getting together and sharing this food like all this stuff is human this is their share you know seriously share with everybody for at least a couple minutes in order to get back to the different ones you have to offer a little bit more about your grandmother and your grandfather ok so i grew up in brooklyn and then we moved to monmouth county which is fun but sundays are just a day to eat and i love some i love like waking up in the morning the smell of like the fresh baze all and all that italian pasta fun was very much the baker and my grandmother was the chef so my grandmother a cook my grandfather would bake and i'm just i'm a curious person so i just want to do both and so what i learned more about baking is that it's likes it's sweeter it's more like you indulge yourself and it's almost like that like a bad thing and i don't i want to take a little bit of that stigma away your own wants to be healthy and all that fun stuff and i believe that but i think healthy  happening around the family yeah exactly i don't care how many calories you have old about it and i'm serious this is good stuff go ahead and so you know the way you're doing that statement plus they say you know kind of like family has dinner together like has it long lasting like you right and i'm just saying about like this old fashioned order of just cooking and i mean i can picture it doesn't even matter spring summer when our fall indoors you can cook with your kids and grandchildren summer days like you i remember but only do you get to show it like you get the show up to the office with a good you get to show up to barbecues with stuff like again i'm italian so we have to bring you have you can go on to hand then you have to always pick something up or always have to get something and i think that instead of getting something while we just make something and maybe some of the difference in the wrong and even if there's no occasion make something and bring it and share it with people like the some of the best reactions a moment i have with people or when i show up with a cookie or brownie that they well always have friends because exactly that face that's it you can make anyone in your life make that face make their face and you get to do that and you had to share with your friends you get to put it on social media you get to do all that fun stuff they all eat a lot of nutella and it's a lot of desserts and pastries in the morning with breakfast and then they slowly eat better and healthier food as the day goes on and work out that sugar so this is a line of brownies specifically made with breakfast ingredients in items that you can have in the morning on a sunday morning instead of going to the store and getting like a day old pastry or like a dozen donuts you just put out some fruit pebble brownies people love knowing th does it take to make those because again it's also the experience i mean by the time you go out and buy something like that you can just make it with your daughter right on exactly says forty minutes in the oven and it's just about the same it's that one's a little bit it's two bowls and sort of one oh it's a little bit more but they're just not only are they just a box thing but you really have a special recipe here that is different than most of the things you just get i i love salty thing it's one of my fave i love savory and sweet and i mean just like an age old habit of me not being able to make up my mind since birth so i like sweet and salty at the same time and so i would add salt into the batter but a lot of times salt will change the chemistry of what you're baking when you're adding it in the raw form and then when you add it to the batter long story short i decided that i was going to put salt in the bottom of the pan before i put the batter into the pan and so when you buy all these recipes you'll see in one of these vials they'll be some salt that is made to be thrown onto the bottom of the pan before you place it into the oven and that goes like a bunch of things as a different texture to the bottom a little bit of us that salty taste and it also keeps it allows you to take the brownies out a little bit earlier and have a formed cross on the top sides and bottom so you can leave the middle of the fudgy so all of these recipes when they say forty minutes in the oven you can put them in for fifty if you like you can put  for thirty if you like there's a lot of fun you get to have when your bacon but you don't necessarily know that you get to have so like my mom doesn't like them so fudgie right so i make them fudgie so she doesn't eat any of them because i want them all for myself it oh it was so cool that's the things we do for love yeah well that's what you're doing this is a labor of love and it is a number that i want to before we get you're just gushing ok got to go and tell everybody out there if there was something you wanted them to know from your heart about you and with takers and below with taker dot com that you can say straight up to them you know camera about you in your business because you're a very special person we want to build and we don't take the time to like appreciate ourselves in the kitchen take some time and just make something together and then go share it with people so they know you care because life is tough and like this brownie like brownie to some person you know you don't know what that's going to do i'm like that sounds so cliche and over the top it's like that's what i like to do i love to bake and i've seen it with my own eyes like what beijing does to strangers that i walk through new york city and given them out to homeless people to people i work with the people i know the people i don't know everyone's happy when you give them a browning we live in a world where it doesn't hurt to give out some more but now it's beautiful and  like seriously tell you that like the idea of being able to just you know become a subscriber are and like you said you get random packages or just be able to buy your favorite i mean for your kids to be able to see this com in the mail and be like can and i'm not even joking kids i'm saying even your like even my mother would love it if i got this and sent it to her because she's always baking but she doesn't do anything different and so you've got all these ones are different you have to get of ok beautiful so it is beautiful now this is where the finesse comes in around that have some good hands you want to take some of that isn't sharp i don't know if you live at home or you're just newly on your own don't put anything sharp in here you  scratch your pan use a spoon you should have sprayed enough so you just want to loosen the edges just a little bit in the middle and then you just want to let you just want to let the far right  nice and crispy that's where we put everything on the bottom line in the middle right so we flip it over and then you have here back number seven which is the final bags here of the less like a ranch shake number seven across the top so you can put it in a what they need to know anything special all you need to do is have two hands in a fridge that's basically what you need to have a little bit of time and the beautiful thing is a the things that we send you are nonperishable so you order you get something in the mail you keep it in your house and you have the worry about like if you want to make more brownies even if you bought the box brownie and then you bought marshmallows and everything else with a not only will you have leftovers actually trips to the supermarket you'll spend absolutely and then you have things i will go back things that will spoil and you don't have the step by so that you just put my grandpa in the kitchen with you you know what i mean so like that's the way i look at it as i just put him in the kitchen with you he's a stubborn old man but he knows how to bake and so he'll teach you how to bake and then before you know it you'll start baking your own creations you'll start getting creative in the kitchen by yourself you'll start learning it's not that intimidating to bay that anyone can do it it's a really simple like a set from you can be eleven eleven year old made this and share with your friends or slumber party my friend is a subscriber every month her kid big something new and she doesn't know how to cook or just happy write this like really the answer for me is so like i love to cook for everyone and bake everyone on a level that is nation wide and even bigger than that and i think this is an easy way brownies and then they're going to be skilled you never ever have to show to a party and lie about the fact that you made what you made from scratch right you get to actually make it from scratch you know the way about showing up a last minute to a bakery getting charged too much money for just a bunch of processed sugar and butter cream like make some with your hands and then be proud of it be proud of what you make and i think that's really important too from a therapeutic value like for me i'm selfish so i would have never baked this much if it didn't do something for me and so for me like i get to make something with my bare hands i get the share with the people i care about and they get to share it with those people too so it's a good to be a waste taker dot com you can buy one box you c subscriptions you know month to month you can buy a three month six month gift for anybody with eight recipes of right now plenty more fun stuff coming to you tell us what you like and will make it happen take us into your kitchen don't go to a baking club my mother bought me a baking class for my birthday it was
