Ep 72: Tapioca Pearls Uncovered in London!

Andrea's raving about the Lime Sablé Sandwiches by Fearless Baker author Erin McDowell (apologies for calling her Erin McDonald on the show!) and both hosts are thinking about baking with grapefruit, perhaps in the Grapefruit Almond and Lemon Thyme Cake from Ocada, or in a Grapefruit Gingersnap Pie or Grapefruit Bars.

Stefin gamely embarked on the challenge of locating tapioca pearls in London, ultimately finding exactly what she needed (and many more options) at her local Asian grocery store. Our hosts and their husbands both loved the warm, comforting Coconut Tapioca Pudding with Mango and Lime from Kay Chun at Food & Wine, and Stefin thinks the smell alone earns this dessert a top spot.

Up next week, an Orange Polenta Cake from Jamie Oliver that's naturally gluten-free using polenta and almond flour. If you want to bake along with us, be sure to locate some orange blossom water and cardamom pods in advance.

Finally, our hosts decided to give some love to the spicy side by talking about some of their favorite savory bakes. Thanks to all of the great Preheated listeners who weighed in on the Facebook group with their favorite savory bakes: Cheese puffs, savory scones, cornbread, pumpkin cream cheese sage muffins, breakfast strata, and Lamb Swirl Buns!
