Put on the kettle, grab your finest Earl Grey, and join Jesse & Shilpa to discuss their recipe for Coffee Cake Scones. They'll discuss the recipe development process (and the existential journey it took them on), answer questions from bake clubbers, and introduce listeners to New Orleans-based recipe developer and pastry chef Bronwen Wyatt... who ALSO recently developed a coffee cake scone.

Shivani LOVES salad. But by Friday, the lettuce she bought on Monday is just... sad. To help Shivani get a fresh, crisp salad on the table every night, Chris calls on Jess Damuck, the cookbook author behind Salad Freak and Health Nut. The key? Rethinking what a salad can be.

We get messages in our inbox ALL the time from listeners who have planned dinner parties, picnics, and other gatherings... but want our advice on what to serve. So this week, Chris is joined by hostess-with-the-mostess Kendra Vaculin to tackle a bevy of listener questions and menu-plan for strawberry-picking lunches, murder mystery dinner parties, and more!
