Vaughn Vreeland and Rick Martinez

In conversation with Tejal Rao

December 10, 2025

Ina Garten once said (and we agree), “You can be miserable before you eat a cookie and you can be miserable after you eat a cookie, but you can’t be miserable while you’re eating a cookie.” Join NYT Cooking recipe creator, video journalist, and YouTube personality Vaughn Vreeland and celebrated Mexican American cookbook author, New York Times bestseller, recipe developer, and food personality Rick Martinez for a delightful evening as we give cookies the credit they deserve. In conversation with chief restaurant critic for The New York Times Tejal Rao, they will discuss Vaughn’s latest collection of trusted treat recipes, Cookies. As Vreeland says, “because you deserve a cookie.”
