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 […]
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), […]
It may be Flour Power month on Preheated, but here’s a few other food holidays in March that have grabbed the host’s attention. Today is Banana Cream Pie Day and March 4 is Pound Cake Day (or, as Stefin calls it, 450 Gram Day). Meanwhile, Stefin’s celebrating British Pie Week sponsored by Jus-Rol, a prepared […]
Andrea’s been in touch with the owner of bakery Breads on Oak in New Orleans who is making plant-based banana cream pie using her very own home-grown bananas! She also used agar agar and coconut milk to make the pie vegan. Check out Breads on Oak the next time you’re in New Orleans to try […]
June is right around the corner and it’s prime time for “Dads and Grads!” We’d love to know what you’re whipping up to celebrate the fathers and the graduates in your life.

Inspired by Maisie Dobbs (see below), Stefin’s cracked the case of the siliconized pan liners that mystified Andrea during her Grocery Store Escapade in Episode 118. In what is another difference between American and British English, these liners are more like coated waxed paper, not hard silicone plastic, and are probably disposable. Andrea’s excited about […]
Andrea has her eye on a new cookbook releasing this week, Indian-ish: Recipes and Antics from a Modern American Family by Priya Krishna. The recipe that caught her eye was the no-bake Cardamom Bread Pudding published in the April 2019 issue of Bon Appétit. The hosts are celebrating World Book Day on April 23rd, recognizing […]
Don’t forget next week the hosts will be discussing this month’s Preheated Book Club pick, At The Kitchen Table by chef Greg Atkinson. Listeners, if you’ve got any favorite Literary Bakes, let the hosts know! In search of caraway seeds, Andrea tripped through the centuries to discover these tiny seeds were used in biscuits to […]
