September 17, 2018 09:00 - 28 minutes - 22.4 MB

August 20, 2018 09:00 - 9 minutes - 7.14 MB

The berry jam is versatile and vibrant; the kiwi is a sweet-tart surprise, and uses an intriguing "new" ingredient -- jam sugar! Whether you've been making jam for years, or are new to this practice, both recipes are relia...

July 30, 2018 09:00 - 18 minutes - 14.5 MB

June 25, 2018 09:00 - 32 minutes - 25.5 MB

After a debate about the correct way to pronounce this week's bake along (is it FRED-o, FREED-o, or should you just put on your best Italian accent?) the duo get down to business. Stefin's been busy whipping up Hummingbird Cake Cupcakes, using dehydrated pineapple fruit powder for a delicious cream cheese frosting. She's in love with the intense flavor, and feels a bit like an astronaut. Andrea is excited to kick off this week's "freeze along" a coconut passionfruit semifreddo from Australia...

Ep 80: An (Ice Cream) Dream Come True

June 18, 2018 09:00 - 47 minutes - 36.5 MB

Welcome to a very cool, very special 80th episode! Starting things off, the hosts review Cuisinart's creamy, dreamy Simple Chocolate Ice Cream with Rocky Road mix-ins.

April has five Mondays, so your Preheated hosts are up with a sweet bonus episode to award their coveted Citrus Month Blue Ribbons.

Hmmm, we'll have to see if that prediction comes true. Our hosts had a few challenges with the Orange Polenta...

April 16, 2018 09:00 - 34 minutes - 28.4 MB

Andrea's raving about the Lime Sablé Sandwiches by Fearless Baker author Erin McDowell (apologies for calling her Erin McDonald on the show!) and both hosts are thinking about baking with grapefruit, perhaps in the Grapefruit Almond and Lemon Thyme Cake from Ocada, or in a Grapefruit Gingersnap Pie or Grapefruit Bars.

Ep 71: Citrus Twist

April 09, 2018 09:00 - 26 minutes - 21.2 MB

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 so...

Ep 70: Hello Sunshine!

April 02, 2018 09:00 - 30 minutes - 23.9 MB

March 26, 2018 09:00 - 36 minutes - 29 MB

Brunch talk has our hosts thinking about sourdough and...baked beans? Andrea's baffled by the cover recipe from Watrose's March Food Magazine, which leads the hosts to wonder what makes a sausage roll a sausage roll. Deep thoughts, indeed. Both hosts agreead that this week's recipe Homemade Monkey Bread from Sally's Baking Addiction was fantastic and a real showstopper. Andrea used mini bundts, and Stefin ran into a slight challenge with her risen dough, but this deicious recipe still got t...

Ep 68: Hot-Buttered Yum!

March 19, 2018 09:00 - 28 minutes - 21.5 MB

It's the third week of listener-requested Bread Month, but first Andrea wants to know if Stefin has seen or heard of a new Colombian berry: the Goldenberry. No, it's not the star of the next James Bond movie, it's a sweet-tart grape-tomato-sized berry that can be used in place of citrus fruits in desserts like lemon bars. Stefin reports on a UK study that proves the mental health benefits of baking bread. Is it the kneading, the mindfulness, or the wonderful aroma of home-baked loaves? Maybe...

Ep 67: No-Knead, Indeed!

March 12, 2018 09:00 - 26 minutes - 20.1 MB

It's the second week of listener-requested bread month! But first, Andrea recaps the winners from the final Olympia Pie Fest -- ninjas, fruits of the forest, and a Cooks' Illustrated classic all took top honors. Meanwhile, Stefin admits it's difficult to forget about the recipes that don't make the cut every month, and griddles up some delicious homemade naan without setting offer her smoke detector.

In the latest Cooking with Class...

Ep 65: Not So Humble Shoo-fly Pie

February 26, 2018 09:00 - 39 minutes - 30.6 MB

Stefin is baking at home and testing out some new flavor combinations to see what Andrea thinks. Coconut and egg? Courgette (zucchini) and lime? Let's see if some of these interesting new duos show up in future epsiodes! Alton Brown's Shoo-fly Pie was a big hit with both our hosts, with all the ingredients on hand in their pantries, an easy filling  to bake and a sure-fire blind bake crust.

It's week two of Preheated's Second Annual Pie School, but before Stefin and Andrea call the roll, they're talking sweet treats for Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras.

February 05, 2018 09:00 - 31 minutes - 24.5 MB

Stefin and Andrea are back with their Second Annual Pie School! But before they take a deep dive under the top crust, Andrea updates Stefin on the "nourishing nibbles" she made using new-to-her maca. Did this "pleasant-tasting" powder delight this root-veg loving host? In other nutritional news, Stefin celebrates after losing a pound -- of wheat germ that is! Next up is the first pie of the month: Butterscotch Pie with Curry Crust. Will this unusual flavor combination prove delicious or just...
