It is so insightful and there is an actual element of learning, which is sorely missed on cooking tv shows and even podcast. The two host are very pleasant and easy to listen to. Overall I definitely recommend if you are looking to have a podcast to listen to that is both learning and entertaining! They put links to EVERYTHING mentioned in the ... more

  • Obsessed

    This is such a great podcast. Each episode teaches me something new. I did feel the last episode about Chinese pastry markets didn’t match my expectations of previous episodes, but that might be because it was a bigger idea and I’m unfamiliar with the cuisine. I’ll definitely be checking out moon cakes and trying out dumplings soon. Then I’ll re-listen and hopefully can think about pastries in a new way. Phenomenal work.

    The hosts are so so funny! I would listen even if I weren’t a baker, just because it’s great entertainment. But as a baker, I love the content. So glad you’re back with season 2.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Great Gluten-Free Bread is Possible! featuring Aran Goyoaga
Q: What are your suggestions in order to convert a recipe from being gluten-filled to gluten-free?
You should increase the hydration, adjust fermentation times, and potentially increase salt. If uncomfortable, it's better to find a gluten-free version of the recipe rather than trying to adapt an existing one.
What Even is a Fall Bake? featuring Rick Martínez
Q: What would you say is the best apple to make apple pie with?
A firm apple that's sweet-tart, like Braeburn or a mix of apples works best.
What Even is a Fall Bake? featuring Rick Martínez
Q: Is it ever worth it to make your own pumpkin puree?
No, it's never worth it to make your own pumpkin puree; just open up a can.
What Even is a Fall Bake? featuring Rick Martínez
Q: What's the difference between the types of Vietnamese and Indonesian cinnamon?
Vietnamese cinnamon is more aromatic and rich, while Indonesian cinnamon is woodsy and earthy.
History in the Baking: Talking Biscuits with Deb Freeman
Q: If my goal is a flaky, layered, classic buttermilk biscuit, I'm wondering three things about butter: do you have a specific brand you recommend? Should I refrigerate or freeze the butter before cutting? What's the best way to cut the butter?
Any good brand of American style butter will work, and it's suggested to keep ingredients cold to ensure proper layering for a flaky biscuit.
