Andrea and Stefin realize that lightening up a brownie may not be worth it, but a Preheated Podcast Bookclub has potential. They also introduce their Try Something New baking resolution -- baklava and French macarons -- and thumb through some favorite cookbooks of yesterday and today.

Bake along with Stefin and Andrea in their baking Facebook group, Preheated Baking Podcast Listeners. You can find links to recipes on their baking website www.preheatedpodcast.com, or follow the hosts on Twitter and Instagram, using handle preheatedpod. Join the fun!
