Andrea is thrilled to finally take Listener Renee up on her suggestion to reduce food waste! She used the chickpea liquid from her weekly hummus prep to make Fudgy Aquafaba Brownies, a new recipe from Cooking with Scraps by Lindsey-Jean Hard. While this recipe did break Andrea’s rule of “No brownies in the house” she […]
Stefin and Andrea are reunited in London, where they’ve kept busy with Pancake Day festivities, and a puff pastry class at Borough Market’s Bread Ahead baking school. Review: Milk Chocolate Pots with Citrus Shortbread from BBC Good Food Kitchen science is puling a fast one on the baking duo this week. Though both bakers (and […]
Andrea’s ongoing cardamom obsession is fueled by Listener Maggie‘s suggested recipe for King Arthur Flour’s Banana Cardamom Upside-Down Cake, as well as the discovery of Listener-favorite cookbook The Cardamom Trail by former Great British Bake-Off finalist Chetna Makan.

It’s November, and Stefin and Andrea are celebrating another spin “round” the sun for themselves and Preheated with a month devoted to all round treats.

After a debate about the correct way to pronounce this week’s bake along (is it FRED-o, FREED-o, or should you just put on your best Italian accent?) the duo get down to business.
