It’s the 70th episode of Preheated, and the duo waste no time jumping into sunny Citrus Month. Andrea is pleased to see that fashion designers clearly got the memo about the month’s theme, as she is seeing tons of whimsical lemon-patterned clothing in the stores. She’s also not surprised that Stefin’s closet is already bursting […]
If Andrea and Stefin sound particularly giddy in this short and sweet bonus episode, it’s because they’re together again in jolly old England. In a Preheated first, they’re recording together in the same room, and that room happens to be in London! In between sightseeing trips to London’s fabulous Borough Market, bookstores, tearooms and shops, […]
It’s October and Andrea is keeping cozy in the kitchen making homemade pantry items — granola, mayonnaise and a dried mushroom powder that’s perfect for sprinkling on eggs, veggies and popcorn. In London, Stefin is plowing through the six pounds (!) of wheat germ she (mistakenly) ordered with batches of granola and muffins. And both […]
The hosts are having a great time seeing listeners post their favorite cookbooks to the Preheated Facebook group. Listener Ingrid’s recommendation of Nathalie Dupree’s classic Matters of Taste takes Andrea right back to her post-college days in the mid-’80s. Listeners: Keep posting those cookbook favorites to our Facebook wall, and listen in to Episode 48 […]
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. Andrea enjoyed this one-bowl loaf cake with its straightforward […]
Since it’s back-to-school time, Andrea asks Stefin for some guidance with school lunch packing. Stefin’s top two tips: Use leftovers in a thermos, and pack it up the night before. (Also, and perhaps most crucially: Farm this chore out to your kid.) Andrea is proud of an original creation she recently whipped up: Marionberry Coconut […]
It’s the last week of August, and Stefin is sending her kids off to their new London school. She reports that hot lunch is on the menu for her two, as it the seemingly worldwide phenomenon of “snack” (with some restrictions her son may struggle with). Andrea has her own thoughts on feeding children every […]
Andrea and Stefin reunite after their July hiatus with their first international chat! Stefin is (almost) live from London and though her house is still a work in progress, she and Andrea waste no time catching up. Stefin’s enjoying her London kitchen’s dual ovens (one of which magically turns into a microwave). After a successful […]
Back in Episode 30 in the Globetrotting Gourmet segment, we discussed frozen treats around the world, which kicked off Andrea’s current Popsicle obsession. Here’s the base recipe: Recipe makes 4-6 popsicles, depending on the size of your molds. About 2 cups fruit, (freeze fruit first for a better consistency) ¼ cup sugar ½ cup full […]
