Gabe and her husband have befriended an American couple in Treviso, Italy, where they all live. In order to give them a taste of home, Gabe would love to cook her new friends an American meal. But what typifies American food? And how can she source the right ingredients in the Veneto? Chris enlists the help of Bon Appetit's resident Aussie, Adam Moussa, and sommelier André Mack of BA's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKtIunYVkv_RpjXAgcKGgR2BFXpgBU7FQ">World of Wine</a> series, to figure out what Gabe should make.  Recipes: <a href="http://bonappetit/">BA's Best Mac and Cheese</a> <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/skillet-fried-chicken">Skillet-Fried Chicken</a> <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/bas-best-fried-chicken-sandwich">BA's Best Fried Chicken Sandwich</a> <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/bas-best-apple-pie">BA's Best Apple Pie</a>

This month Bake Club is embracing every part of the lemon as co-host Jesse Szewczyk brings us his recipe for<a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/whole-lemon-bars?srsltid=AfmBOoqOAqd1LDIzCzD_mKloizQApLImWUBfl33IVV2HLJUKZfxhxRvu"> Whole Lemon Bars.</a> “These lemon bars did not start as lemon bars,” confesses Jesse to co-host Shilpa Uskokovic. “They went through a journey. First, they were marshmallows… and then they were marshmallow cookies, and then, something happened, they turned into lemon bars.” On the latest episode of BA Bake Club, Jesse and Shilpa take your questions and bestow the honor of Baker of the Month on one talented Bake Clubber. Make sure you join our <a href="https://babakeclub.substack.com/">BA Bake Club Substack</a> for access to a bonus recipe for the Marshmallow That Became a Lemon Bar. Later in the episode, Bake Clubs unite as visionary pastry chef and founder of Milk Bar (as well as her own bake club) Christina Tosi joins Jesse and Shilpa to talk about her love of baking and where she finds inspiration. “We need more forces of good and positivity and innovation and creativity. That's why I started Bake Club, and I love that you all have BA Bake Club in the same way.” says Tosi.

The unofficial birthday cake of the Test Kitchen comes to Bake Club this month as Shilpa Uskokovic shares her recipe for Strawberry Roll Cake.  “I just love this cake,” explains Shilpa to co-host Jesse Szewczyk. “It has everything you could want! Tender cake, really nice cream…lots of fresh fruits. It's perfect.”  Shilpa and Jesse answer your questions and also award the inaugural Baker of the Month to one lucky listener whose Strawberry Roll Cake stood out on BA Bake Club Substack page.  And in our segment Baker You Should Know, celebrated author and food stylist Donna Hay stops by to talk about her latest book Sunshine Lemons and Seasalt.

Thumbnail for "BA Bake Club: Chocolate Guinness Cake".
This month, <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/story/bake-club">Bon Appétit’s Bake Club</a> is putting a spin on a classic. Listen in as <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/contributor/jesse-szewczyk">Jesse Szewczyk</a> breaks down his <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/gallery/most-popular-recipes-march-2026">popular recipe</a> for <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/chocolate-guinness-cake">Chocolate Guinness Cake</a>. “The cake came to me rather easily. I had a vision. I got lucky,” Jesse explains to co-host <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/contributor/shilpa-uskokovic">Shilpa Uskokovic</a>. But the challenge came when it was time to develop the frosting. “I feel like everyone in the Test Kitchen had an opinion on what it should be…I definitely tried at least 10 different frostings.” Ultimately, Jesse landed on a brown butter frosting as the perfect topper, not just for taste but also because it matched the visual of an expertly poured Guinness, with its creamy head. “It’s reinforced with just a tad of Guinness, two tablespoons,” says Jesse. “I found it important to have Guinness in both places.” Jesse and Shilpa also dive deep into the mailbag and answer questions about the cake and troubleshoot issues listeners encountered. Plus, baker and psychologist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/helen_goh_bakes/">Helen Goh</a> stops by in our “Baker You Should Know” segment. Helen confesses that she has been living a double life for years and explains how she juggled working with the acclaimed Yotam Ottolenghi on developing sweet treats while seeing patients in her psychology practice. Her latest book, Baking &amp; the Meaning of Life, bridges the gap between the two worlds. As always, we’d love to hear from you!

Thumbnail for "BA Bake Club: Cheddar Biscuits With Old Bay".
This month, Bake Club takes inspiration from a popular chain restaurant for our own take on a beautiful, fluffy and cheesy biscuit that is transformed with the help of Old Bay seasoning. Hosts Shilpa Uskokovic and Jesse Szewczyk make the case for why biscuits are a must for any occasion. “Anything bread can do…a biscuit can do better,” says Shilpa.  Jesse and Shilpa tackle listener questions and baker and writer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cherylday/?hl=en">Cheryl Day</a>, a biscuit guru who made them everyday for 22 years in her bakery, stops by the clubhouse. Cheryl’s advice for the best biscuit is simple. “I would say: practice, practice, practice … then, take notes.” We’d love to hear from you! Send your questions to BA Bake Club!

January is bleak, but this month’s Bake Club recipe is bound to put a smile on your face! Hosts Jesse Szewczyk and Shilpa Uskokovic dive into the world of bagels. Jesse talks us through the tips and tricks of how to make the perfect bagel from the comfort of your own kitchen. “Bagels are like this blank canvas,” says Jesse, “Where the yeast and the wheat are the flavor…and the toppings, obviously.” Plus, Melissa Weller from <a href="https://www.bubsbakery.com/">Bub’s Bakery</a> in New York City drops by the clubhouse. Melissa is a James Beard nominee and author of two beautiful books, A Good Bake and Very Good Bread.

Thumbnail for "BA Bake Club: Boozy Cherry & Chocolate Pavlova".
This month on BA Bake Club, hosts Jesse Szewczyk and Shilpa Uskokovic break out their whisks and create a picture perfect pavlova. It has all the top textures of a showstopping bake: It’s crunchy, it’s chewy, it’s decadent and it’s boozy. Inspired by Shilpa’s childhood favorite, Black Forest gâteau, we dive into the inbox and dig into listener questions. And Shilpa preaches about the virtue of a cracked meringue. “My point is if it cracks, it's okay,” says Shilpa. “That's really what the whipped cream and the toppings are for sure. Just patch it back together.” Watch Shilpa make her fool-proof pavlova on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reels/DRupsc6kTc2/">Instagram</a>.  2025 James Beard award-winning cookbook author Nicola Lamb also stops by to help weigh in on what you can do with leftover egg yolks and comes up with some creative suggestions!

Thumbnail for "BA Bake Club: One Giant Cinnamon Roll".
We like big cinnamon buns and we cannot lie. December’s Bake Club is dedicated to the tireless efforts of Shilpa Uskokovic and her creation of a giant, gooey cinnamon roll. Not only is this recipe perfect for any festive gathering, but it also has all the nostalgia of a mall food court in the 90s. Shilpa tells Jesse about her decision to include two specialty ingredients and the importance that they had in shaping the structure of the recipe. And we meet another baker we think you should know: Patrick Shaw-Kitch of <a href="https://brooklyngranaryandmill.com/pages/about-brooklyn-granary-and-mill?srsltid=AfmBOorIR0xdY83bV3bW1ibvJGdlrBaZy9JhYcsgNmOO1XsQadNp3zv3">Brooklyn Granary &amp; Mill</a>. Patrick not only bakes, but mills his own flour for his creations and tells us why we should think more about where our flour comes from and how to harness it in our bakes.
Thumbnail for "Introducing Tough Cookie: The Wally “Famous” Amos Story".
Meet Wally Amos. He founded the ubiquitous Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies in 1975, turning the brand into an overnight sensation and himself into a pop-culture fixture in the 1970s and 1980s. But there’s a darker side to Wally’s seemingly sweet story. One filled with five marriages to six women and a string of bad business decisions that led him to lose the empire he had created. When he passed away in 2024, host Sarah Amos set out to untangle her father’s complicated past and finally face the life and legacy she had been avoiding.

And this year, Chris caught up with him to find out how everything went — and whether he's permanently secured the hosting position.

Today, we’re sharing an episode from our friends at <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/foods-that-matter-food-and-wine-fun-facts/id1732539696">Foods That Matter</a>. Mark Jacobs, Chairman of Watkins, divulges the delicate (and sometimes dangerous) process of sourcing the finest vanilla beans in Madagascar and explains why vanilla can be so darn expensive, only sometimes. But vanilla's not all they offer! Mark shares surprising health benefits of spices, and spills the tea on how Watkins keeps their huge variety of spices bursting with flavor - including a tip to properly storing your spices at home. Mark even reveals the one spice that mysteriously eludes Watkins (and why), and shares exactly what to look for when you're on the hunt for the perfect spices. Whether you're a spice connoisseur, a curious cook, or a foodie, this episode is packed with flavor-boosting tips and fascinating facts about food and the brand leading the way for delicious flavors.

Jen is a confident cook in a household of self-described food people.

Rachel's the kind of cook who free-forms it – no two dinners turn out the same, and she likes it that way. But she’s setting up a dinner for her parents and her partner’s parents to meet each other for the first time, and she wants everything to be perfect. The only issue? Every one of her guests has a different dietary restriction, and none of them seem to work together. So Chris taps Kendra Vaculin to help keep Rachel's eyes on the ultimate prize: making this gathering an excellent time for all involved.

Leah loves the Union Square Farmer's Market, but there's one tent she's too intimidated to stop at: the "mushroom guys" (aka <a href="https://www.mushroomqueens.com/">Mushroom Queens</a>).  So to help demystify the alien-looking fungi that Leah's seen at their stall — and prove to her that she can achieve a crispy, umami-rich 'shroom in her own kitchen — Chris takes Leah to Mushroom Queens in Ozone Park, and they get a tour of an urban mushroom farm.

Today, we’re sharing an episode from our friends at The Financial Times.  If you’ve been to the wine shop lately you may have noticed a trend: wines marketed specifically toward younger drinkers. Many are natural, organic, or biodynamic. Others are made without special certification but boast backstories that focus on the producers, not just the region or grapes. Wine writer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hannahcrosb/">Hannah Crosbie</a> joins host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lilahrap/?hl=en">Lilah Raptopoulos</a> to give us a primer on what young wine drinkers want.

So, Chris taps Claire Saffitz to help Maya discover more meal types to add to her repertoire.

Thumbnail for "Dining Out With The New Yorker's Critics at Large".
"In the years since the pandemic began, the experience of dining out has been utterly transformed. Coveted tables now disappear seconds after they’re released, and influencers dictate what’s in demand—or even what’s on the menu. On this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz make sense of our new culinary landscape. The hosts are joined by Hannah Goldfield, who covers restaurants and food culture for The New Yorker. Together, they consider how TikTok is changing the way we eat, and how the rise of Resy has introduced a sense of scarcity and competition into the reservation game.  Then, the critics discuss “Menus-Plaisirs - Les Troisgros,” a new Frederick Wiseman documentary about a Michelin-starred French restaurant that offers a very different, behind-the-scenes view of the labor and creativity that goes into fine dining. These examples raise the question of how to balance art with the experience that informs and surrounds it. One answer is found in venues that sidestep the hype, and that remind us of why we dine out in the first place. “I don’t need to feel this grand drama of struggle and triumph,” Schwartz says. “I simply want to feel welcomed.”"
