Most of us are used to tasting these things in a different way—corn muffins with more sugar and soup with more seasoning. With all the chopping and mixing, there was plenty for everyone to do. A’Laya learned to test the muffins with a toothpick. Priya minced the garlic very small. And Jasmine was a whiz with the can opener.
