🎙️ Baking Through Time
🎧 Episode Title: “Bittersweet Alchemy: The Story of Dutch Cocoa Brownies”
Episode Description:
Some recipes are passed down. Others find us when we need them most.
In this heartfelt episode of Baking Through Time, Dr. Susan Rashid shares the story of her most personal recipe—her Dutch cocoa brownies. More than just dessert, these brownies have been a quiet companion through every chapter of her life: from adolescence to medical school, from hospital call rooms to chemotherapy recovery, from joy-filled gatherings to nights marked by grief.
Through rich storytelling and deeply felt reflection, Dr. Rashid explores the history of Dutch-process cocoa, the science behind the perfect brownie texture, and the role of food in memory, medicine, and community. Along the way, she invites listeners into the cultural rituals and psychological comfort that a single pan of brownies can hold.
Whether you bake often or not at all, this episode is about something deeper: how the simple act of stirring cocoa into butter can become a way of saying—I’m still here.
Featuring:
– The ancient and modern history of cocoa
– The science of fudgy vs. cakey brownies
– The role of food in grief, healing, and human connection
– Dr. Rashid’s own Dutch cocoa brownie recipe, shared for the first time
Tune in, take a breath, and maybe preheat your oven.
Because sometimes, the most powerful stories rise in the quiet of a kitchen.
