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!

Welcome back to our latest episode of Shut The Oven Door!

This week, we step into the world of Emily Dickinson. While she's remembered today as one of the greatest poets in American history, what if we told you that she may have preferred baking to writing? As we discuss her in the latest chapter of The Writer's Table, we explore this surprising fact. We also discuss our latest recipe for Coconut Lime Peach Sherbet and ask a summertime question everyone can answer: What cold food or drink do you crave most when the weather heats up? All that and more, so tune in!

Have you ever felt drawn toward something that didn't quite fit the path you expected for yourself? Something that seemed different from what you knew or how you were raised? That's what we're talking about this week as we continue our conversation from The Writer's Table, exploring Laurie Colwin's appreciation for simple gatherings and good food. Along the way, we also dive into what it takes to pursue something that feels impossible, like creating gluten-free waffle cones from scratch.

Are you screaming for ice cream this summer? Well, if you are, this is the episode for you. This week, Steph and Nash discuss their latest recipe: a gluten-free, gum-free, soy-free ice cream that really takes the cone... We also ask an important question: schnitzel and ice cream... is that actually a thing? We discuss all that and more in our Brimly Book Club segment about Thomas Mann from The Writer's Table.

In this week's Brimly Book Club episode, as we continue our journey through The Writer's Table, we examine the story of Maya Angelou and her resilience—not only in her life, but also in her quest to cook. It's a story that truly shows how following your dreams and refusing to give up can take you to places you never imagined. We also discuss our latest recipe for Gluten-Free Golden Waffles and ask the question: do you prefer them savory or sweet?
