The Preheated hosts reunite behind their microphones for the first time since October 2020, and there’s a lot to catch up on! Stefin’s still in London, cooking (with gas) in a new kitchen in between homework assignments for her master’s degree in creative writing. In Olympia, Andrea is working full-time as a recruiter and taking […]
Farewell for Now…
After four seasons and 200+ episodes, we’ve decided to step back and see where life takes us next. So, after this week’s episode (#200), we’re taking off our aprons. New episodes will no longer appear in your podcast feed until and unless we decide to turn the oven back on. We know that the Preheated […]
Episode 200: Greatest Hits Volume 4
For four seasons, the Preheated hosts have championed homemade ice cream, so it’s only fitting that they award an honorable mention to Nigella’s No-Churn Salted Caramel Bourbon Ice Cream which Stefin has made “at least 85 times.” Andrea urges coffee lovers to check out Nigella’s similar One-Step No-Churn Coffee Ice Cream, or any of Nigella’s […]
Episode 199: Greatest Hits Volume 3
It’s Greatest Hits month and the good memories just keep on coming. Stefin recalls Episode 38, the first episode recorded from her new home in London. Straight from her kitchen counter perched on top of an IKEA box, she taught Andrea an elegant and appealing new term for potlucks. Garden party, anyone? Both hosts agree […]
Episode 198: Greatest Hits Volume 2
It’s October and that means the hosts are turning their thoughts to … eggnog?! That’s right, now is a good time to start making the Aged Eggnog introduced all the way back in Episode 5: Fruitcake and Eggnog. Andrea and Stefin love the Sun Liquor Aged Eggnog recipe and Andrea has also seen an Aged […]
Episode 197: Greatest Hits Volume 1
This October, Andrea and Stefin are taking a walk down memory lane and revisiting some of their greatest hits in the lead up to Preheated’s monumental 200th episode on October 26. They start the show remembering some of the “amazing alliteration” that’s appeared over the last four years. From the show name itself (Preheated Podcast), […]
Episode 196: Homemade English Muffins
The hosts are thrilled with the James Beard Award announcement for the best book in the Baking & Desserts category … the envelope please … it’s Living Bread: Tradition and Innovation in Artisan Bread Making by Daniel Leader and Lauren Chattman. Equally intriguing is a winner in the Health category: Gluten-Free Baking at Home: 102 […]
Episode 195: Peach Breakfast Bake
Stefin’s intrigued by the title: Say No to Raw Dough and it reminds the hosts that raw flour may contain E. coli. Keep this in mind when sampling raw dough or using raw dough or raw dough mixes in your smoothies and milkshakes. Stefin’s kids’ dentist gives her homemade ice cream a thumbs up. It’s […]
Episode 194: Cheddar, Bacon & Caramelized Onion Quiche
The hosts have rave reviews for two cookbooks. Andrea’s Cookbook Club (organized by Browsers Books in Olympia, WA) picked Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking: A Cookbook by Toni Tipton-Martin for their virtual summertime gathering. On the other side of the pond, Stefin dived into Regula Ysewijn’s Pride and Pudding: The History […]
Episode 193: Back to Breakfast
Stefin and Andrea were busy in their kitchens this summer during the show’s hiatus. In London, Stefin beat the heat with multiple batches of homemade ice cream, and particularly liked a Cookies ‘n’ Cream variation using the Simple Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from her Cuisinart ice-cream maker manual, as well as an out-of-this-world Peanut Butter […]
