BraveTart: Stella Parks Reimagines America’s Favorite Sweets

2026-07-22

This week, we're revisiting one of our all-time favorite episodes–it's our 2018 interview with Stella Parks about the secret history of chocolate chip cookies and how she reverse engineers everything from Oreos to McDonald’s Apple Pies. Plus, we learn about barbecue around the world, from boodog to hāngi; Dan Pashman visits LA's Cambodian donut shops; and we make Austrian Plum Cake.
