It’s the best baking season of the year! So we’re celebrating all things fall baking on today’s episode.
First up, producer Rossi Anastopoulo and King Arthur editor Tatiana Bautista join David and Jessica to discuss our new list of the 49 Best Fall Recipes, Ranked. To no one’s surprise, there are a lot of opinions all around! Then cookbook author Rick Martínez stops by to dive deep into Pan de Muerto, the fragrant, buttery bread made to celebrate the fall holiday of Día de los Muertos. During our Ask the Bakers segment, Jessica and David discuss the big fall baking questions: Is it ever worth it to make your own pumpkin purée? What’s the difference between all the cinnamons out there? And is it pronounced PEA-can or puh-CON?! To close the show, we have a story about the oldest apple tree in America and the apple detective who found it (!), a freshly fried Jess-opinion, and the bakes David and Jessica are making this week.
