Welcome back to the Brimly Book Club! We’re really excited to kick off this month’s book, Life Is What You Bake It by Vallery Lomas. This book is not only a cookbook, but also a story about resilience and taking a leap of faith when you don’t know what might be waiting on the other side. And that’s exactly what our first part of the discussion is all about!

Also this week, we test out some kitchen claims involving garlic smells and molasses.

Oh, and you know we’re Back to Basics, because this month is Bread Month! To start things off, we’re talking about our Gluten-Free Honey Oat Loaf. Simple, sweet, and delicious.

Listen in, we’ve got a good one!

Welcome back! This week on the Brimly Book Club, we continue our discussion of what we’re calling Act 5 of ⁠Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger: A Memoir by Lisa Donovan⁠⁠. The question gets asked: Is it better to keep talking about a problem, or learn to be the solution? Is there a danger in ignoring one or the other?

Also, how would it feel if you lost your lid? And we’re talking literally here. Let’s be honest, we’ve all seen those fail videos of people’s blender lids flying off.

And guess what? This is our final week of Birthday Behavior, and we’re talking about our crunchiest cake yet. Chocolatey, sweet, and layered with a mix of ganache and cornflakes, our latest recipe, ⁠Chocolate Hummingbird Crunch Cake⁠⁠ literally takes the cake, and we feel like we took this one to the next level.

Don’t miss out. Listen now!

Welcome back! This week on the Brimly Book Club, we continue our discussion of what we’re calling Act 4 of Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger: A Memoir by Lisa Donovan⁠. We ask the question: Do limitations actually promote creativity?

Then, would you be sad if someone took the last slice of your birthday cake? And who is even in charge of deciding how big a slice of birthday cake should be?

Well, you already know we’re in Birthday Behavior, so we’re diving deep into the world of cakes. Speaking of cakes, we also have our latest recipe, Double Berry Sheet Pan Sponge Cake⁠, which combines the plushness of a sponge cake with berries that add the perfect layer of tartness and sweetness.

Don’t miss out. Listen now!

Welcome back! This week on the Brimly Book Club, we continue our discussion of what we’re calling Act 3 of Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger: A Memoir by Lisa Donovan. We break down the question: Why does it feel weird to be a beginner? And how do you deal with inexperience?

We also get into another round of Would You Rather, where we ask: Would you prefer to deal with a smelly kitchen or a loud kitchen?

And you know it’s still Birthday Behavior, so we’re talking about one of our most anticipated recipes, the infamous Gluten-Free Vanilla Chiffon Cupcakes. All that and more, so come along for the journey and listen in!

Welcome back! This week on the Brimly Book Club, we continue our discussion of what we’re calling Act 2 of Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger: A Memoir ⁠ by Lisa Donovan. After reading the next few chapters, we found ourselves thinking about how our relationship with work changes as we get older.

We also get into some interesting, and pretty funny, questions in our Would You Rather section, where we ask each other which of two kitchen disasters we’d rather experience.

And, of course, we had to talk about our latest recipe, the ⁠Deep Chocolate Birthday Cake⁠⁠, because who doesn’t love a really good chocolate cake for, well, their birthday? All that and more, so come along on the journey and listen in!

Welcome back! This month in the Brimly Book Club, we’re diving into our latest read, Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger: A Memoir by Lisa Donovan. This is by far one of the deepest and most thought-provoking food memoirs we’ve read, inviting us to ask: Does working with your hands help keep you grounded? Plus, would you eat only with a ladle if you had to? Finally, we settle the age-old question of chocolate or vanilla cake as we explore our latest recipe. All that and more, so tune in!

This week, we journey into part four of our four-part series on the book ⁠⁠⁠Bien Cuit⁠⁠⁠, and we’re asking the question: what does it mean to be understood backwards? Also, Steph would apparently rather go with burning pancakes than the other option. Want to know what that option is? Well, you’re just going to have to tune in. And finally, our latest recipe for Gluten-Free Three Spice Cookie Squares takes us down a very unexpected rabbit hole as we learn that nutmeg might actually be poisonous in large amounts. Weird, right?

All that and more, so check it out!
