Actresses Kate Hudson and Brenda Song visited the New York Times kitchen studio for a pretzel-making session. The duo appeared alongside food writer Melissa Clark for the hands-on cooking demonstration.
The event promoted their new Netflix series, “Running Point,” a comedy about a family running a basketball team. Hudson and Song play sisters-in-law in the show.
Clark guided the actresses through a recipe for homemade pretzels. The process involved twisting and wrapping dough into classic pretzel shapes.
Hudson and Song discussed their on-screen dynamic while working with the dough. The kitchen setting offered a relaxed, behind-the-scenes look at their off-screen chemistry.
The pretzel recipe itself focuses on a simple, yeast-based dough. A baking soda bath gives the pretzels their signature chewy crust and deep brown color.
Clark demonstrated how to shape the pretzels quickly and evenly. Both actresses attempted the technique, with varying degrees of success.
The video captures a casual, unscripted exchange among the three women. It highlights both the cooking process and the natural rapport between the cast members.
The segment serves as a cross-promotional piece for both the series and the cooking platform. It blends entertainment news with practical kitchen content.
