This August, the hosts are TCB — that’s Taking Care of Baking — to tackle some of their #20for20 baking resolutions. They’re taking turns hosting bite-sized episodes to see you through the dog days of summer. Stefin’s up this week with another Tasty Toponym — a food named after a place. In this case, Lake […]
Move over Pumpkin Spice Latte! The world’s second-largest coffee chain, UK-based Costa, has introduced their “bonfire” range of drinks — latte, hot chocolate and cold brew — to celebrate autumn. Will they be perfect with the chain’s much-ballyhooed Biscoff Muffin? Stefin vows to find out … before October 31! (And stay tuned to see if […]
First up this week: A quick refresher on the difference in the show’s two Facebook pages. Preheated Baking Podcast is the show’s business page. Liking this page is akin to “following” the show — and you’ll see a link every week when a new episode drops. But if you’re looking for conversation between the dynamic, […]
Don’t forget next week the hosts will be discussing this month’s Preheated Book Club pick, At The Kitchen Table by chef Greg Atkinson. Listeners, if you’ve got any favorite Literary Bakes, let the hosts know! In search of caraway seeds, Andrea tripped through the centuries to discover these tiny seeds were used in biscuits to […]
Stefin’s flying solo this week, and she jumps right in with an update on the American Pie Council’s 2017 and 2018 amateur winners. You may remember the hosts tackled the 2016 winner, the Totally Biscoff Pie in Episode 14, since that episode, and recipe, has attained mythic status in the podcast’s history! Like the Totally […]
Raise your hand if you’ve been eating pie incorrectly all these years. Yep, so have Stefin and Andrea! According to etiquette expert Rachel Wagner, the “correct way” to eat pie requires a fork and a spoon and is quite a process, especially when it’s served à la mode! Pie’s been in the news again, and […]
Andrea is reporting in on the epic Twitter war between @JPosnanski who thinks “Fruit pie is delicious” vs. @KenTremendous who believes “Hot fruit is disgusting.” Stefin falls in with the majority with “Fruit pie is delicious” while Andrea wavers a bit, since she’s not a fan of cooked apple! Listeners, where do you stand in […]
It’s the second week of Sensational Stone Fruit month, but Stefin’s thinking about the luscious cinnamon rolls she and her family enjoyed while visiting the Skookumchuck Bakery in British Columbia, Canada this summer. If you’re planning a visit to B.C.’s beautiful Sunshine Coast, be sure to stop by this seasonal bakery and deli for their trademark […]
Andrea’s intrigued with healthier ingredients like seeds, buckwheat, groats and dried fruits in her desserts, and recently branched out of her comfort zone while at Portland, OR’s Seastar bakery. Their coconut cookie made with millet and, yes, her old nemesis, raisins, was yummy and eye-opening. Did she stumble into a delicious parallel universe, or is […]
Andrea is back from the Cascadia Grains Conference and is excited about being part of the movement to revitalize the grain economy in the Pacific NW. One of her favorite treats was baking Whole Grain Digestive Biscuits, which Stefin loves, although both our hosts agree a new name is needed to make this cookie sound […]
