Episodes

  1. Episode 132: Duck Confity Rillettes

    In this episode, Gretchen talks through one of her favorite foods, Duck Confit! and then turns it into duck rillettes.

  2. Episode 131: Everything Oil and Pickled Fruits

    Due to Gretchen being overwhelmed by making Christmas presents - this episode about Christmas presents is a few days late for the actual day. This spicy oil would be a great gift to yourself any time of year. Pickled fruits are probably a bit more specialized depending on your palate.

  3. Episode 130: Chocolate Truffles

    It's finally time to cover truffles! At least the chocolate ones. These easy holiday treats are so easy to modify and personalize. There is some discussion of ganache and what it is.

  4. Episode 129: Almond Extract

    Gretchen made almond extract at home! So Simple! She talks through the process, why you can't just drink it straight, and what she may do different in the future. And this is a quick one.

  5. Episode 128: Carbonara

    Gretchen finally gets around to making carbonara and breaking down recipes from the internet, because there are a lot of them. Gretchen thought she was losing her mind at one point because all the recipes call for whole egg and she was taught with only yolks. And don't you dare bring cream…

  6. Episode 127: Soba Noodles

    Join Gretchen again for another recipe she discovers does not have added benefits from making your own! Buckwheat flour proves a bit of a challenge and learn a bit about buckwheat in the process.

  7. Episode 126: Black Pepper Papads

    Another thing Gretchen will never feel compelled to make again! While papads seem fairly straightforward to make, there is probably a bit of a trick to them. And you can buy premade ones at the store or from your favorite Indian Restaurant, which feels like the better way to go. Listen to…

    more
  8. Episode 125: Braised Pork Shoulder

    Finally, we're braising! Gretchen makes a braised pork shoulder from Anthony Bourdain's Appetites Cookbook which uses coke! It's interesting and it works! Paired with Soba noodles and the recommended cucumber pickles, this dish is pretty fantastic. But of course Gretchen has notes!

  9. Episode 124: Crispy Lentils

    Gretchen discusses why lentils are one of the best foods for you if you can manage to eat a half a cup per day! And why crispy lentils might be better - or at least helpful to add some variety to getting all those awesome nutrients. Also mentioned in this cute little episode - 400 degrees might…

    more
  10. Episode 123: Plum Cake

    What is better in summer than stone fruit? Gretchen found this recipe from Preppy Kitchen that is absolutely fantastic and works perfect with juicy fruit! Tender and tart this Plum version was even better than the original recipe that calls for peaches.

  11. Episode 122: Scallion Pancakes

    Join Gretchen on a journey of a simple laminated dough! So tasty! So Simple- but beware- the rolling takes a while. and maybe let these rest in the fridge overnight? Gretchen liked the results! Highly recommend trying to make these yourself, as they are super delicious. With tips at the end for...

  12. REPISODE 121: Pomegranate And Poppy Seed Wings

    Gretchen brings you another failure on her part this week.

But the sauce is so good it wasn't a complete failure, just a partial...

  13. EPISODE 120: Grapefruit Soda with Chai Masala

    Gretchen does a little dive into another recipe from The Flavor Equation and reads about carbonated beverages. Did you know that 3 entire things happen when you drink something carbonated? Gretchen sure didn't!

  14. EPISODE 119: Orange Marmalade

    Gretchen agreed to make orange marmalade for her coworker's husband, so she figured she'd better use that for content! While the entire marmalade process took approximately 3 hours from preparing the oranges, to cooking the jam, to canning for storage, but this is cut down to just the essential...

  15. EPISODE 118: Hara Bhara Kebabs With Burnt Lime Raita

    Gretchen speeds through making these delightful kebabs from the Fresh India, with slight modification for decreasing potential moisture. There is paste making, potato mashing, and attempting to not set the kitchen on fire. Listen now to find another reason you should purchase "Fresh India"!

  16. Episode 117: Peach Slab Pie

    Listen to Gretchen struggle with making a slab pie with a recipe she's not entirely sold on. Substitutions are made, ingredients forgotten and then hastily added back into the recipe, and struggles with crumbly dough.

    Gretchen talks through another recent recipe she is now obsessed with, Sesame Roasted Carrots With Cous Cous And Feta - except she forgot the feta.

  19. Episode 114: Shepherd's Pie

    A little programming note for our Gluttoneers - we're taking a break after this episode and wish everyone a happy holiday season! But, for now, on to shepherd's pie...We've prepared a lot of mashed potatoes around here but adding them to the top of a casserole had eluded us until now. Behold, the...

  20. Episode 113: A Soup Situation with Marcella

    It's soup season! We celebrate this cozy time of year with a tribute to our favorite, Marcella Hazan. Starting with dried beans and ending with lemon zest and olive oil, this easy and simple soup will be go-to dish for us this fall. Not only is our recipe from Marcella but we take it a step…

    more
  21. Episode 112: Homemade Root Beer and Funky Floats

    We've been wanting to make homemade root beer since March, but it takes about two weeks to get to the final product and we had to make a ginger bug, not to mention sourcing the unusual ingredients used. Oof. All in, this was quite the endeavor. We mix our finished root beer with ice cream and…

    Our latest adventure finds up elbow deep in rice krispies, chocolate, peanut butter, and butterscotch.

    more
  25. Episode 108: Cheesy Japanese Sweet Potatoes

    As soon as we saw this recipe on Weekend Home Kitchen's Insta, we knew we had to test it out. With just a few simple ingredients including Japanese sweet potatoes, cheese, oil, and spices, we ended up with a crunchy but soft, sweet but salty, and 100% tasty, treat. We add in some of our quoogles...

  26. Episode 107: Skillet Pizza

    It's been a few years since we ventured into pizza territory by making a Detroit style pie with that signature crisp edge and thick crust.

  28. Episode 105: Basil Fleur de lait with almond balsamic brittle

    What a combo we've stumbled upon! We build on the simple fleur de lait we made a few years ago and add basil and lemon zest. To be fair, we probably made it harder on ourselves than we needed it to be but we share some tricks for simplifying during our tasting and final thoughts. Not stopping...

  29. Episode 104: Three Easy Salad Dressings

    We're officially back! If you're like us right now then turning on the oven or even thinking about spending more than a few minutes on food prep is not an option. We're loading up on salads this August and create three quick and easy options - an egg-free take on caesar, an herby italian, and a...

  30. Episode 103: Gretchen Grills while Becca Chills

    We're back! Sort of. We recorded this grilling episode right before Gretchen got sick and this heat wave hit. So while it was still hot, don't worry, we weren't making G grill in 100 degree heat. We talk through the process of grilling vs a low (heat) and slow cook method and get into the origin…

    more
  31. Episode 102: Empanadas

    We're embracing the meat pocket language of empanadas.

  35. Episode 98: Tortelloni Verde

    We're letting our leek freak sides loose and adding them to everything in this dish from the dough to the filling to the sauce.

  36. Episode 97: Celeriac Remoulade

    Keeping it light and easy this time, we make a tasty side dish or coleslaw alternative using celeriac for Becca and turnips and carrots for Gretchen.

  41. Episode 92: Semolina Pudding and a Caramel Battle

    What should have been a fairly simple and interesting dessert, turned into a caramel battle for Becca and we end up with mixed thoughts on this dish. We talk some more about FRANCE and learn a trick from Ginette to salvage burned milk and some tricks on planning a menu. Recipe Source: Semolina...

  42. Episode 91: Mushroom Soup and Simple Salad

    Hopefully, the last of us hasn't scared everyone off mushrooms because we are throwing them in a soup!

  48. Episode 85: Toum Round Two

    In a weird turn of events, Gretchen tries to actually break a sauce on purpose. What? We know. Very weird. But, once Gretchen learned of a trick to use egg whites to fix a broken toum emulsion, we knew we had to revisit the creamy goodness of this garlic treat. Becca gets to sit this one out…
