During her 4 years as a member of the Chatterbox staff, L Mahler, ‘25, is proud of every way she helped the Chatterbox, and grateful for every way the Chatterbox helped her.

Her recipe column, L’s kitchen, was her way of giving the Chatterbox a bit of herself. It was a regular feature from 2023 to 2025, and leaving it behind feels bittersweet.

She hopes to utilize her strengthened skills with cooperation well into the future.

I’ve never met a person (without a severe allergy) who doesn’t like cheese. Don’t change that.

If you prefer less rich foods, top your treats with whipped cream! It won’t do very much to the richness, but it tastes good.
