Y&R’ Collins Is Cooking!

Tags:

Jessica Collins (Avery, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS) drops by the Hallmark Channel’s HOME & FAMILY show today to chat with hosts Cristina Ferrare and Mark Steines about Avery’s upcoming storyline and do a cooking segment featuring her famous Crème Brûlée French Toast!

“I love ‘make ahead’ dishes, which this is,” Collins tells Soaps In Depth. “This is one of the easiest things to make because if you can mix things in a bowl you can make it. It’s something my mother and aunt would make. It’s great for kids because you can make it the night before.

“It’s a hobby that turned into a passion that kind of turned into a second career for me,” adds Collins, who graduated from the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in 2009 and has a Web site dedicated to her culinary creations. “My blog ( JessicaCollins.com) is all about making cooking accessible. It’s for first-time cooks — beginners, college kids. I sometimes cook a lot fancier in my real-life, but I also use those recipes, too. I don’t have a lot of time to plan and make something amazing. My blog is built much more for my lifestyle — I’ll come home, put a chicken in the oven, take a bath while it’s cooking and then getting out, eating my chicken and watching Y&R with a glass of wine!”

HOME & FAMILY airs on the Hallmark Channel at 10:00 a.m. ET/PT and 9:00 a.m. Central Time. Check out the recipe for Collins’ French toast — and many other tasty dishes — at JessicaCollins.com.
