Gretchen does a little dive into another recipe from The Flavor Equation and reads about carbonated beverages. Did you know that 3 entire things happen when you drink something carbonated? Gretchen sure didn't!

Gretchen agreed to make orange marmalade for her coworker's husband, so she figured she'd better use that for content! While the entire marmalade process took approximately 3 hours from preparing the oranges, to cooking the jam, to canning for storage, but this is cut down to just the essential content, so don't be fooled into thinking you'd be able to make marmalade in 23 minutes. Enjoy listening to Gretchen wait and wait and wait for this sweet jammy treat to cook!

Gretchen speeds through making these delightful kebabs from the Fresh India, with slight modification for decreasing potential moisture. There is paste making, potato mashing, and attempting to not set the kitchen on fire. Listen now to find another reason you should purchase "Fresh India"!

Listen to Gretchen struggle with making a slab pie with a recipe she's not entirely sold on. Substitutions are made, ingredients forgotten and then hastily added back into the recipe, and struggles with crumbly dough.

Gretchen talks through another recent recipe she is now obsessed with, Sesame Roasted Carrots With Cous Cous And Feta - except she forgot the feta. Another recipe from "The Flavor Equation", she talks through the recipe and provides some facts about Sesame. It's another short but savory episode of High Gluttony!

In this episode, Gretchen provides a couple of programming updates and then talks for a little bit about some cookies she's been creating recently, Bolinhas and Coconut Thumbprint Cookies with tropical fillings, and her notes on what she'd do differently next time.

A little programming note for our Gluttoneers - we're taking a break after this episode and wish everyone a happy holiday season! But, for now, on to shepherd's pie...We've prepared a lot of mashed potatoes around here but adding them to the top of a casserole had eluded us until now. Behold, the shepherd's pie! Gretchen's version includes ground beef and lamb and Becca's uses mushrooms instead of meat. While it did take a while to prepare and complete this dish, it was definitely worth it in the end. But what's not to love with potatoes, cream, butter, veggies, and more butter. Yes, please.

It's soup season! We celebrate this cozy time of year with a tribute to our favorite, Marcella Hazan. Starting with dried beans and ending with lemon zest and olive oil, this easy and simple soup will be go-to dish for us this fall. Not only is our recipe from Marcella but we take it a step further and use a white bean named after the chef herself. It really is a soup situation with Marcella.

We've been wanting to make homemade root beer since March, but it takes about two weeks to get to the final product and we had to make a ginger bug, not to mention sourcing the unusual ingredients used. Oof. All in, this was quite the endeavor. We mix our finished root beer with ice cream and make what we call funky floats. Was it worth it? Join us on a root beer adventure to find out.Recipe source:https://nourishedkitchen.com/homemade-root-beer-recipe/

Our latest adventure finds up elbow deep in rice krispies, chocolate, peanut butter, and butterscotch. It's that time of year when there's an excuse to eat sugary treats all day long and we're starting with a mid-west favorite, the scotcheroo. We found these ingredients to be a great base to add in your favorite toppings like pretzels, coconut, or dried fruit, and because you use a 9x13 pan, there's plenty of space to play with and plenty of treats to supply a large group. Gretchen also breaks down what makes butterscotch different from caramel and we test our patience waiting for the final product to cool down. Off we go on another sweet journey!Recipe Sources: https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/scotcheroos/https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/homemade-pumpkin-spice-latte/
