The Preheated Book Club is back with “Britalian” chef Anna del Conte’s memoir Risotto with Nettles. Anna is often credited as bringing Italian home cooking to England (her home since 1949), and is the author of seven cookbooks. Famously, Nigella Lawson credits her as an inspiration and mentor. American listeners may need to check local […]
Andrea updates Stefin on her attempt at the vegan and gluten-free Brownie Truffle, first discussed in January Bonus Episode 61.5. Though she was eager to try new-to-her maca, and though she is a die-hard root vegetable lover, Andrea decided she is not a fan of this particular “pleasant-tasting” root veggie powder. Instead, she created a […]

It’s finally time for Andrea to make good on her #20for20 promise to make a dessert that tastes as good as the raw cake batter she consumed back in Episode 122 when making The Orange Marmalade Cake. First stop: the scientists. What exactly is cake batter flavor? Consensus says it’s a combination of vanilla, nuts […]
Andrea’s lack of detailed recipe reading resulted in a rare Midwest Made mishap while whipping up an Italian Loaf. The instructions called for a 30 minute first rise, followed by a three hour second rise (in the refrigerator!) and then a 20 minute rest before baking. Sadly, Andrea missed the refrigerator instruction, and after rising […]
