Ep. 18: Canadian Vegetarianism

Carnophobes, fear no more. This month is all about the veggies. We're looking at the history of vegetarianism in Canada, especially out Steph's way in B.C. where an influx of Doukhobors meant a spike in vegetarianism in the early 1900s.

As a well-seasoned vegetarian, Torey's handling the culinary history this month. Steph dove into the culture of Doukhobor textiles and came out with a wealth of information.

Song: Steph was wrong, don’t @ her. There’s only one rock song she could find that mentions the Doukhobors: “Ferdinand the Impostor” by The Band. It’s definitely not what she was remembering – now she has to go back and question all the Queen lyrics she heard in her childhood!

Ep. 33: Obsessions: Lace Knits and Hazelnuts

We're going off-script this month and treating ourselves to a whole episode about our current obsessions. No rhyme, no reason, no era - just really cool history. Torey's facing her fears and diving into an obsession with lace knitting (and/or knitted lace, depending on who you're talking to). Meanwhile, Steph is all in on hazelnuts, and we both make some fabulous nutty dishes. Thanks for listening!

Ep. 28: Deer Catharine

This month we're going further back than this podcast has gone before: decades before Mrs Beeton, there was Catharine Parr Traill, a woman whose letters we study and whose symbolism we have a hard time coming to grips with. To everyone's surprise, our fashion segment this month actually covers fashion: we're looking at the late Regency period and the relatively loose dresses that came with it. In another podcast first, we're also taking a stab at some meaty dishes. Both Torey and Steph fry up some venison steaks, and we talk about the history and ethics of game meat in Canada. Less controversially, we also serve up some cranberry sauce and tarts, to mixed reviews. What we're obsessed with in history Steph : An old favourite: Lucy Worsely, an English historian and author, and two of her books: Jane Austen at Home: A Biography and Queen Victoria: Twenty-Four Days that Changed Her Life .

Ep. 34: Hello to the Future

Yes, friends, it's true: the time has come for us to leave you. We've spent the last three years in a tumult of food highs (wartime cake!), fashion lows (remember that time I tried to describe how to tie an ascot?), and vice versa (remember that time Steph made a totally gorgeous outfit from a thrifted suit? Legendary.). Now, for our final bow, we're taking a trip back to our first failure, our worst failure, our gloopiest, ickiest, saddest failure: vegetarian jello. For what better way to say goodbye to you, our lovely listeners, than to make good on a three-year-old promise to try agar agar again? This month, we brave our fears and face our old foe, while talking '60s jello and the space-age fashion of the future. We said it all in the episode, but it bears repeating: thank you so much for listening. We've loved making this show. We hope hearing us fumble our way through food and fashion has made you as happy as it has made us. Feel free to find us outside of...
