Do you have a sweet tooth?

Eva: I'm a cookie fiend! They have chocolate chip cookies on set everyday at three o'clock; I can smell them coming out of the trailer.

Adam: when I go out to eat, it's 90-percent guaranteed that I'll have a dessert- anything chocolaty.

 

Do you have any favorite recipes?

Eva: I try to cook with fresh herbs. My daughter, Kaya, helped me plant an herb garden.

Adam: I've got onions and garlic in everything.
