Ep. 29: Sourdough and Hiking Woes

We're taking a hike this month and heading north. Torey's talking fashion on the trails to the gold rush, and Steph's talking about the science of sourdough. We both try our hand at an honest-to-goodness sourdough starter, with...surprising success, actually.

Ep. 4: Nogsters

Happy holidays & happy new year to all! To accommodate our busy holiday schedules we have a mixed-up informal episode for you today. We’re drinking some very boozey homemade eggnog and wearing our ugliest Christmas sweaters—all of which makes for a very hospitable environment for our *special guests*! Yes, The Boys are on air with us today, reacting to our creations live. We also entertain with the riotous rum-soaked history of eggnog and an original poem by Steph (!!!) on the origins of ugly Christmas sweater parties.

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. 17: Eaton's All the Butter Tarts

Are you in the club? The butter tart club? The one that every Canadian (or at least Ontarian) is automatically born into? Yes, today we're talking about our favourite and most controversial pastry. Raisins? Nuts? Plain? Runny/firm? What's the deal? Does the first known recorded butter tart recipe answer any of these questions? Inspired by that very first recipe, we're also talking about another one-time Canadian/Ontarian behemoth: Eaton's! Specifically, Eaton's catalogues. Torey could read those things for days. What we're obsessed with in history: Torey: BBC's A Stitch in Time series (not available in Canada, but you can find full episodes on YouTube ) Steph: The Fabric Of Our Land: Salish Weaving - a workshop at the Museum of Anthropology led by Chief Janice George and Buddy Joseph. Steph attended in February and Torey is trying VERY hard not to get jealous. Thanks for listening! Find us online: Instagram @fashionablyateshow Facebook and ...
