Andrea and Stefin kick off the show with a “Previously on Preheated” run down of some Listeners’ favorite St. Patrick’s Day desserts. Listener Maggie loves Nigella’s Chocolate Guinness Cake as much as the hosts (check out Episode 151 for all the raves), and Listener Renee makes a friend with a St. Pat’s birthday a green-themed […]
From Listeners’ favorite Girl Scout Cookies, to the magical story of Yorkshire rhubarb, plus another dramatic reading from the back of a Dove’s Farm flour bag, Stefin and Andrea are full of chat this week. Review: Double Ginger Spelt Cookies from Daylesford The duo both absolutely loved these small-batch cookies, with their beautiful texture, warming […]
Is National Muffin Day on your baking radar? Thanks to Listener Jesse, it’s on ours! Mark Sunday, March 1 on your calendars, and let us know if you become a “muffinteer” in your neighborhood.

The Preheated Book Club is back with “Britalian” chef Anna del Conte’s memoir Risotto with Nettles.

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 […]
Yearning for an update on Costa Coffee’s “limited-edition” Biscoff Muffin from Episode 147? Stefin’s on the case.
