How author jennyhan's marathon cookie-making session made it into her books: “Everything I do is material.”

, young-and-in-love Lara Jean finds herself in something of a love triangle. She’s exploring her new relationship with Peter Kavinsky while parsing what it means to want to reconnect with former love John Ambrose McClaren — and it’s no surprise that she expresses her feelings through food. She makes cherry turnovers for Valentine’s Day and peanut butter chocolate cupcakes for a boy who is notably not her boyfriend. There’s jealousy over who orders the pizza for a party.

I’m actually weirdly not a big sweets person. I just really like to bake. And I like to give things to other people. When I’m a guest at someone else’s dinner or something, I will bring my frozen cookie dough, and bake cookies up at the end of a meal. When people are relaxing, if they’re having coffee or drinks, they love having a warm chocolate chip cookie after the meal is over. I bring my own parchment paper too. You don’t want to go and make a problem in someone else’s kitchen.

I would just keep my eyes on things with the goal of making authenticity a priority. I remember the food stylist placed the chopsticks kind of artfully, and I was like, “Please take those chopsticks out of the bowl,” because it looked like incense sticks that you light for a funeral. Korean people don’t have chopsticks poking out. It looks good, but it’s not done. I wouldn’t know about certain cultural taboos either, if they’re cultures I don’t know about, so I was happy I was there.

book]. For Christmas one year, I started baking in November, and making all this dough in my tiny little apartment, with no Kitchen-Aid, and I made six different varieties of cookies. It took me literally a month and a half to do all of it, and I was calling it Christmas cookie bonanza. I got a huge tin, and then I brought it to my publisher, and other places, with little bags so people could grab the ones that they wanted.
