Ep 140: New Twists on Old Classics

Andrea starts the show recounting a summertime pie victory at the County Fair, while Stefin requests listeners send their best bake sale treats for an upcoming segment. September is New Twists on Old Classics and what better way to start than with a re-do of classic banana bread. The Cocoa Swirled Banana Bread recipe from Challenge Dairy starts with a method of bagging, smashing, freezing, thawing, boiling and reducing ripe bananas to extract the juice from the pulp. Talk about a twist! Finally, the hosts recount their favorite summer desserts, including a Strawberry Raspberry Fool from the August issue of Bon Appétit, zucchini cake with US-style cream cheese frosting, and blueberry and apple crumb pie.
