Andrea is hot off another successful cookbook club meeting, and has several desserts to report on from the new Smitten Kitchen cookbook, Every Day, including a stunning and scrumptious Danish Rice Pudding that she might never have tried on her own, but, thanks to her club, is now one of her favorites.

Episode 50: Older and Wiser (with Cupcakes!)
Stefin and Andrea kick off Preheated’s celebratory first-anniversary month with a look back at some memorable episodes.
