Episode 141: Cocoa Swirled Banana Bread
Stefin loved finding a treasure trove of old Martha Stewart Everyday Food magazines while on holiday in the Pacific Northwest this summer, and was reminded how fun vintage magazines can be.

Stefin’s enchanted by an exhibit at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum that introduced her to Mexican artist Fernando Laposse.

Episode 92: Marvelous Plum Meringue and Fall Cookbooks
Cooked peaches? Why not! Andrea’s singing a new tune after trying Ina Garten’s Fresh Peach Cake.
