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 […]
Happy Valentine’s Day week! Today’s show starts with a Public Service Announcement from Andrea and Stefin … don’t go out to dinner on Valentine’s Day. It’s often expensive and you’ll feel rushed. Instead, stay in and treat your sweeties (and yourself!) to some Preheated bakes! The hosts reflect on the history of ever-popular conversation hearts, […]
The Preheated Book Club is back with “Britalian” chef Anna del Conte’s memoir Risotto with Nettles. Anna is often credited as bringing Italian home cooking to England (her home since 1949), and is the author of seven cookbooks. Famously, Nigella Lawson credits her as an inspiration and mentor. American listeners may need to check local […]
Andrea starts the show by answering Listener Carol’s voicemail question about making big-batch pie crusts. She makes multiple batches of Mary Beth’s Reliable Pie Crust in her 14-cup Cuisinart, then wraps each crust in plastic wrap, pops them in a plastic bag, and freezes. When she’s planning to bake a pie, she removes a crust […]
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 […]
Stefin’s back with the last of her August Quick Bite episode devoted to three-ingredient bakes. Today, two “cheater’s” desserts for when you need something sweet in a hurry: Peanut Butter cookies that are both gluten- and dairy-free, and a British-style lemon pudding that uses one of your host’s favorite condiments, lemon curd, along with a […]
Time has snuck up on the hosts and it’s already the second week of July…which means it’s time to celebrate National Ice Cream month in both the US and the UK. In Episode 30 the hosts introduced Jeni’s Splendid Roasted Strawberry Buttermilk Ice Cream and exactly 100 episodes later they debuted Jeni’s Sweet Corn 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. Stefin’s got some desserts that appeared “Previously on Preheated” (see below!) that would be perfect for St. […]
It’s a month devoted to that sweet, sensory sensation we all know and love … chocolate! Whether it’s cookies, breads, puddings or some magic dust, Andrea and Stefin are willing to don their chocolatiers’ hats and get busy baking … and tasting. Thanks to Listener Ben (10 years old) who sent in a picture of […]
