    A good insightful podcast that interviews not just TV famous pastry chefs, and that is what I like most about it.

    Just found this! I’ve listened to 2 episodes so far. It brings to life these chefs that I only know through books and magazines. My only critique is that at times the interviews can seem a little rushed. Considering that a lot of these people have a huge body of work. If the show was 2 to 3 hours long, I wouldn’t be mad.

  • Needs work…

    Great guests and concept, but Tish is extremely boring and the audio and editing needs a lot of work. I would like to hear more of a conversation and less QA format. There’s a higher standard with podcasts now, and I’d like to see them put more effort into it. LOVE the magazine, podcast not so much.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Melissa Weller: Setting a Very High Bar for Allergen-Free Baking at Bub's Bakery
Q: What resources would you recommend for developing the best formulas for baked gluten-free products?
Learn from bakers who specialize in gluten-free, study detailed recipes from blogs and books by experienced gluten-free bakers, and adapt proven approaches while testing and refining in your own kitchen; Kat from The Loopy Whisk and Erin Goyi (Goyi) are recommended starting points.
Melissa Weller: Setting a Very High Bar for Allergen-Free Baking at Bub's Bakery
Q: Which gluten-free flour blend do you prefer for croissants and why?
We use a house-made blend similar to Cup for Cup, developed in-house after extensive trials; Cup for Cup is a solid substitute and a good starting point when you don't have our exact blend, but our own mix is optimized for laminated gluten-free doughs.
Melissa Weller: Setting a Very High Bar for Allergen-Free Baking at Bub's Bakery
Q: What tips do you have for making gluten-free cakes with an airy crumb rather than a dense, gummy texture?
Start with a solid base recipe, bake a bit longer than you would expect, and ensure moisture levels are adjusted for gluten-free flours to achieve a lighter crumb. The key is getting the moisture balance right and testing the bake time until the crumb is properly airy and not gummy.
Matthew Ratliff: A Certified Master of the Pastry Kitchen
Q: How has social media affected the industry, for better or worse?
It's both horrible and amazing: it sets unrealistic expectations while also providing a vast outlet for learning new techniques from global practitioners.
Matthew Ratliff: A Certified Master of the Pastry Kitchen
Q: What kitchen tips would you share with aspiring pastry professionals?
Two tips: (1) always add leavening to sugar at the start to ensure even dispersal, and (2) keep a full set of bars at different thicknesses to achieve consistent, perfect thickness in layered cakes and decorations.
