Andrea and Stefin are celebrating some big Preheated milestones! They recently published their 75th episode and reached 25,000 total downloads. Thanks to old and new listeners around the world who helped make this happen! Remember, you can always check these show sheets for a recap of the episode, including links.
Next, the hosts review Prince Harry’s favorite Caramel Banana Cake. Both agree this easy, delicious cake with a decadent frosting was a winner. Be sure to check your baking time, though, as Andrea’s cake was done in 30 minutes and Stefin’s (baked in a convection oven) was done in 20! Speaking of milestones, Andrea noted it was the only time that one chef (Darren McGrady) has had two recipes featured in the same month. Though he may have been Queen Elizabeth II’s personal chef, we know Darren will be proud of this Preheated designation, too.
The hosts couldn’t close out the month without paying tribute to the newest royal, Meghan Markle, the new Duchess of Sussex, but her sweet tooth proved a bit elusive. The closest this California girl would come to naming a favorite dessert was a chia seed pudding, so Andrea shares her own tips and experience with this anytime treat. The Duchess’ recipe is still a royal secret, but this recipe is a close guess to what she may enjoy.
Finally, the hosts discuss how practicing the art of mise en place can make your time in — and out — of the kitchen happier.
