Ep 74: You Are Cordially Invited ...

Hear ye, hear ye: You are cordially invited to the first episode of this most delicious month celebrating all things British! In anticipation of the big wedding on May 19, Stefin and Andrea have crowned themsleves with royal titles, and are gleeful that Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, was recently sited shopping at (wait for it) Waitrose! Andrea gives a shout-out to listeners who took part in April's Citrus Month, and issues a PSA about picking up crucial ingredients well in advance. Next it's on to the first bake-along of the month, and the duo are starting at the top with the cake Queen Elizabeth loves so much she travels with it! Will Stefin and Andrea ask their footmen to pack up this Chocolate Biscuit Cake on their next holiday? Hard to believe, but true: Stefin has been an ex-pat for almost a year! Andrea leads a follow-up conversation on what she's learned and loved in her adopted country (and her adopted kitchen), then Stefin turns the tables and quizzes Andrea to see how much British culture she's absorbed from afar. You can read the show notes here. Bake along with Stefin and Andrea in their baking Facebook group, Preheated. You can find links to recipes on their baking website www.preheatedpodcast.com, as well as on their Pinterest page. You can also follow the hosts on Twitter and Instagram, using handle preheatedpod.
