The determined 26-year-old says that the kitchen represents a sanctuary and refuge for her, and that cooking enriches and inspires her. She became passionate about cooking at a young age, helping her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother prepare meals. Kaja is a big fan of desserts, so its no surprise that she shared a recipe for an outrageously delicious fresh tart.

  2. Whip the sweet cream with an electric mixer until stiff. Mix the whipped cream with Greek yogurt, vanilla, molasses, and honey.
