Stefin’s up with the first of August’s “Quick Bite” episodes, and she’s focusing on three-ingredient bakes to make sure you get the most sweetness in the shortest amount of time this summer. First up: quick breads. Really quick breads, that both use bubbly beverages for flavor and lift. Preview/Review: Beer Bread and 7-up Scones Three-Ingredient […]
Stefin’s back from a recent trip to Wales and singing the praises of a Welsh cake, which is a bit like a scone cooked on a griddle, and Bara Brith, a spotted bread that reminds the hosts of their beloved fruitcake. This warm loaf is filled with dried fruit and tea, and is a great […]
Have a bit of a summertime cold? Perhaps the historical English dessert called a posset might provide a cure. This mixture of curdled cream and beer certainly seems ripe for modernization!

A hot tip from Listener Rosemary sends Andrea scurrying to investigate the correct name for part of her Cuisinart food processor (hint: it does not contain the words thing-er or thing-y), and the hosts debate not only using rogue pieces of kitchen appliances to decorate cookies, but also the many nicknames we have for our […]

Check out the Totomoxtle website to see how this project is helping indigenous farmers, regenerating traditional agriculture, and creating a beautiful new art form — all with this month’s namesake ingredient, corn!

Stefin kicks off this week’s episode with a recent Bollywood movie experience from her trip to India that involves – you guessed it – corn!
