Open Cooking Lessons

How do you like your brownies? They tend to fall into three major categories (with their own diehard fans): cakey, fudgy, or chewy.

Whatever it was, you did it really, really well, and your guests noticed. Or maybe it wasn’t even that good, but your guests still want to tell you how much they enjoyed it.

Why do so many of us have trouble accepting praise? Here’s what I’ve learned about how to accept a compliment in the kitchen.
