  • Switch it On! V1.8 : Luck of the Irish Bread & Lemon Curd

    Welcome to the Switch It On! Podcast. It’s the last Sunday of Winter, and the beginning of a new week - with lots to celebrate, let’s get into it!

    We record this podcast weekly, where we switch on the microphone and have a casual conversation about what's new, what we are up to, and what’s on the menu. This week we talked market stories, highlighted a few things that will be on this week’s menu (hello Irish Soda Bread!), and we took a few serious topics too — like the changes in our bakery team (3 cheers for a growing team, and boo to Joshua’s need for another surgery).

    Here are a few links to things we mentioned in this episode:

    * Our March market schedule

    * Have lemons? You should definitely make this lemon curd

    * Soda bread will be joining the St Patricks Day party this year, you’ll find it at the Santa Cruz market on Wednesday and the Carmel-by-the-Sea market on Thursday.

    * Here’s our recipe for gluten-free Irish soda bread. It’s soft, with a tender crumb, comes together quickly, and is just 10/10 a fantastically quick and delicious bread.

  • Switch it On! V1.3 How can I get some pies?

    Welcome to the Switch It On! Podcast. We are coming to you on a blustery Thursday afternoon from Monterey, California.

    We record this podcast weekly, where we have a casual conversation and share what's new, what we are up to, and what’s on the menu. This week we discussed how we spent our free day, after the Carmel-by-the-Sea market was canceled. We shared stories from the market, reviewed the last 3 weeks of whoopie pies, and highlighted our favorite things we made this week.

    We took on a few serious topics too — like whether there is such a thing as bread that is too fresh, and a new solution to the market favorite dessert: hand pies! They seem to sell out faster each market, so we are making them available for pre order + market pickup.

    Here are a few links to things we mentioned in this episode:

    * February schedule

    * Pre order market hand pies

    * Culinary Class Wars on Netflix
