I don't particularly like that either. I'd add "you/one can use" between "tricks" and "to make".

I agree entirely.

She also says at 0:13 I do have a few tricks on how to make the best stir-fry eggplant. She's confusing 'tricks' with 'tips'.

"Tricks to make' or 'tricks to making' are perfectly acceptable and natural in AmE. I also don't find anything wrong with her use of 'tricks' vs. 'tips'. While both work, I don't think it's fair to assume she's mixed the two terms up.

All her utterances are things I'd say myself.
