The dream of turning a garden into beautiful baked goods comes to life with Hayley McKee (@stickyfingersbakery), an Australian baker and author of the cookbook "Sticky Fingers, Green Thumb," which features almost sixty recipes celebrating vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers in cakes and other sweet snacks. In this episode, Hayley and Dressler chat about fennel in cakes, hands-on food education for kids, bold and unexpected flavors in desserts, finding community gardens near you, native Australian plants, Hayley's post-punk musical past, the history of feminist restaurants and cafes, and so much more.
