Ep 71: Citrus Twist

They must've known it was Preheated's Citrus Month: Prince Harry and Ms Meghan Markle have announced the cake flavour for their royal wedding in May, and it's an on-theme choice: Lemon-Elderflower. Both hosts are losing their minds over this inspired selection (though they first have to discuss what exactly an elderflower is) and are relieved to see that Harry and Meghan are #teambuttercream. Coming back down to earth, the duo review Sunny Lemon Bars from Stella Parks, and though both had some issues with the custard's texture, they gave the vibrant taste and color two enthusiastic thumbs up. Taking one for the team, Andrea did some independent lemon-bar investigation and decided she's going to try a thinner layer of custard and a larger bar size, like the delicious version she ate at Eugene, Oregon's Sweet Life Patisserie. Speaking of independent investigation, Stefin's on the hunt for tapioca in London for this week's bake along, Coconut Tapioca Pudding with Mango and Lime. Finally, the duo discuss tools and hacks to make squeezing juice easier and seed-free, Andrea admits she wants a zester, and a misguided search for a citrus implement leads Stefin to a new fashion accessory.
