What’s hiding under your floorboards? We bet it’s not as exciting as a recent discovery in England … Mince Pies found under the floorboards of a hotel in the Isle of Man. Accompanied by a sweet note from Mum, this reminds Andrea of the origin of the CARE package, which she learned from reading The […]
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. Stefin’s been busy whipping up Hummingbird Cake Cupcakes, using dehydrated pineapple fruit powder for a delicious cream cheese frosting. She’s in love with […]
Welcome to a very cool, very special 80th episode! Starting things off, the hosts review Cuisinart’s creamy, dreamy Simple Chocolate Ice Cream with Rocky Road mix-ins.

Raisin lovers everywhere, unite! Stefin starts the show with an impassioned defense of the much-maligned Raisinet, which Andrea is most decidedly not interested in, even though they’ve started making a version with dark chocolate, which she does love!

Andrea’s raving about the Lime Sablé Sandwiches by Fearless Baker author Erin McDowell (apologies for calling her Erin McDonald on the show!) while Stefin’s still thanking listener Amy for those Raspberry Muffins that are helping her use up all six pounds of wheat germ she mistakenly ordered. A brief nod to the underrated citrus fruit […]
Stefin is seeing 2018 food trend “functional food” from Episode 60 everywhere she turns, including her favorite grocery store’s weekly and monthly publications.

After a disastrous experience with an usually foolproof banana bread recipe, Andrea introduces a new mini-segment, Almost Edible. Warning: Do not eyeball bourbon or butter (especially when it’s $8.69 a pound!). English teatime favorite Lemon Drizzle Cake was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
