Three Kitchens Podcast

Send a textWe're trying Boston Baked Beans this week on the podcast. This American classic is popular at backyard BBQs and potluck gatherings. This recipe starts with soaking northern navy beans, and then boiling them in water until they're softened. Meanwhile, the sauce is made with bacon, onions, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. After everything is combined, it goes in the oven for a slow bake (about 3.5 hours). You can modify the flavours to suit your palette. We actually felt these beans are far too sweet, and for our tastes, we'd reduce the amount of sugar. And maybe add a kick of spice. It's a fun recipe to try if you enjoy baked beans -- homemade is always better than canned! Get the recipe: Boston Baked Beans Listen to our interview with The Alberta Pulse Growers Association Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send a textWe had so much to talk about with Charlotte Wasylik from Chatsworth Farm, we split it into two episodes! Part I is also available now!This week we're talking about one of the most confusing things for home cooks, cuts of meat:- what they're called (why are there so many names for the same thing??)- why the names don't always mean what we think they mean- and how that can leave even the most confident home cook feeling unsure about what to order from the farmer or butcher. To help us make sense of it all, we're joined once again by Charlotte Wasylik from Chatsworth Farm, who brings deep expertise from the producer side of the food system. She explains that names given to cuts of meat often vary by region, so if you're not finding what a recipe calls for, there may be a different name for it -- you just have to ask! Sometimes it helps to explain what you want to cook in order for the farmer to guide you to cuts that will work the best. And understanding that, an unusual cut doesn't have to be intimidating when you know what to do with it.  Be sure to listen to part I of this conversation if you haven't yet.

Send a textIt's time for cookies, everybody! To satisfy a craving for almond-flavoured sweet treats, Erin takes on two different cookie recipes this week. One is a large stuffed cookie (she calls it a café style cookie), and the other is a little two-bite (maybe one-bite) cookie ball. The café-style cookies are stuffed with a filling made of almond flour, sugar, egg, butter, vanilla, and almond extract. We felt the filling just sort of melted away into the cookie, which was a little disappointing. But recipe #2 is a clear winner...The almond cookie balls are called mandorlinis. They're made with a base of almond flour, powdered sugar, and all-purpose flour. And then a full slab of marzipan, which lends them a chewy texture. Along with the little crunch of the sliced almonds on the surface, these are delicious little cookies. We dare you to eat just one. Get the almond cookie recipes! Almond Stuffed CookiesOne-Bite Almond Cookie BallsAlso mentioned in this episode: Stuffed Brown Butter Cookies recipe Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis week on the podcast, Heather tackles a recipe for ratatouille, the classic French vegetable casserole. The recipe she uses is from none other than Julia Child, and if you've read one of her recipes, you know that can sometimes be a challenge in itself. Let's go! Ratatouille is usually made with eggplant, squash, tomatoes, onion and peppers. It's obviously going to be better when these are in season, but we had it mid-winter and it was still delicious. You can even use canned tomatoes if that's your best option. Heather discovers the key to this recipe is cooking each of the veggies separately (well, the eggplant and squash together, and the onions and peppers together). It's also important to cut them into similar sizes. Oh, and salt the eggplant and squash in advance so they sweat out extra moisture and keep their structure. In the end, following Julia's long-winded instructions was well worth it. We'd tried ratatouille before that was all baked together at the same time, and it wasn't nearly as satisfying as this method of cooking each thing separately and then assembling it at the end. Plus this is all prepared on the cooktop, which made it super easy and didn't require turning on the oven. Bon appétit!Get the ratatouille recipe! Other stuff mentioned in this episode:- S2 E2: Bon Appétit, a CIFF Special- Coq au Vin recipe- Eggplant Parmesan recipe- Spiced Eggplant Pide recipe- Dijon Salmon with Capers recipe Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis week on Three Kitchens Podcast, Erin finds inspiration in a book she's reading to try a delicious sheet pan kebab recipe. She also makes flatbread, a quick salad and tahina sauce to make this an easy weeknight meal. If you're thinking kebabs on skewers, you'd be wrong (as Heather found out). For these kebabs, Erin mixed ground beef with a blended veggie mixture, and spread it on a baking sheet. Ten minutes in the oven, and you're ready to go. The salad is simply red onion and tomatoes with salted lemon and sumac. The tahina sauce is tahini and water -- so simple! All together in a wrap, this is quick, healthy and so tasty. Get the recipe on our website:  Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textIn this episode of the Three Kitchens podcast, Heather shares the bizarre and tragic story of the Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919. She and Erin discuss the events leading up to the disaster, the mechanics of the flood, eyewitness accounts, and the aftermath, including the legal repercussions and changes in safety regulations. The conversation is filled with humour and insights into the historical significance of this unusual event.Sources: Last Podcast on the Left, episode 642: The Great Molasses Flood of 1919 Part 1 - Killer CondimentsWikipedia - Great Molasses Flood Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textIn this episode Heather tries an alternative to oatmeal -- a hot farro breakfast pudding with cardamom and dates. It's warm and sweet and just hits the spot, especially on a cold winter morning. Thanks for joining us for this episode of Three Kitchens Podcast! Originating in the Middle East, farro is an ancient grain has long been a staple of Mediterranean dishes. Its mild flavour and chewy texture provide an alternative for other grains like rice or barley in soups and stews. In this case, we're thinking of it like a substitute for oats for breakfast. It's cooked in almond milk (or you can sub milk of your choice) with sweet dates and flavoured with vanilla and cardamom. We enjoyed this sprinkled with a little crunchy granola. Heather paired this with a homemade cup of spiced chai. It would also be perfectly paired with a latte or other hot beverage of your choice. Make a big pot of farro pudding in advance and warm it up for breakfast with a variety of toppings, like granola, nuts or yogurt for everyone to customize their bowl. Get the recipe: Farrow Breakfast Pudding with Dates and Cardamom Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textIn this episode we explore the challenges of cooking with tofu as a meat alternative when Erin tries to make tofu "meatballs." We discuss various recipes, cooking techniques, and the importance of flavour and texture. These tofu meatballs are baked, which does make the process super simple, but Erin ran into trouble with the lemongrass curry. The recipe said to blend the ingredients into a paste, and let's just say that lemongrass didn't blend well!  But the flavour was great and we have thoughts for improving our experience with this recipe. Join us on the socials and let us know your lemongrass tips and tricks! There is no recipe to share this week, because Erin found this one needed some work.

Send us a textGet ready to nerd out with your favourite podcast hosts in this Food for Thought episode! Erin explores a study showing that early humans were eating carbs before their teeth were able to chew them. What impact did the food early humans ate have on the teeth we have today? The carbohydrates (grains) available at the time required a lot of chewing, which means these early humans recognized this as a high-energy food source, despite not having teeth to properly chew them. The study shows it actually took about 700,000 more years before the size and shape of human teeth were actually suited to eating this food. Cool, right? Erin, with her background in science, helps tell the story of this research by explaining evolution. Then she goes down a bit of a rabbit hole about wisdom teeth and changes we see in present day humans and our teeth and jaws today. Learn more in the studies Erin has referenced in this episode: How Human Diet Influenced Evolutionary Changes in our TeethWhy we Have so Many Problems with our Wisdom TeethWisdom Teeth and Genetics: Why Some People do not Have Wisdom Teeth Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textIn this episode Erin takes a familiar packet of dry ramen noodles and elevates it with a simple broth made with inexpensive items you probably already have in your pantry. We enjoy a simple bowl of noodles as much as the next person, and you cannot argue there are days when this cheap simple dish is about all we can manage. But, by using a few common pantry items -- peanut butter, coconut milk, miso paste -- you can kick it up to a new level of flavour. Erin also made up some toppings, including a fantastic marinated chicken breast and a perfect jammy boiled egg. She'll help us plan this out to make some things ahead (including the broth) and have them ready to top off those noodles in no time. Get the recipe!

Send us a textThis week on the podcast, Heather discovers one of the best cookies we've ever eaten. That's not an exaggeration. Let's get into it. These Chocolate Mascarpone Coffee Cookies are so easy to bake - measure all your cookie dough ingredients in one bowl with a kitchen scale and stir with a wooden spoon. You then just chill, scoop and bake. Easy peasy. The unique ingredient (in our experience) is mascarpone cheese in the cookie dough. The filling is the key here - mascarpone cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and espresso powder makes this the most delicious frosting ever put between two chocolate cookies. So. Damn. Good. Have we adequately expressed how much we love these cookies yet? We also get into a discussion about natural vs Dutch processed cocoa powder, because the recipe specifically says to use natural cocoa NOT Dutch processed. It's a whole thing and we do try to sort it out. But at the end of the day, we believe you can use whichever cocoa powder you've got on hand. You just cannot fail with these cookies. Get the recipe!

Send us a textThis episode is dedicated to the art of baking beautiful pies and tarts, just in time for the holidays! We welcome Laura Klynstra, author of The Homemade Pie Cookbook, to share tips and ideas for kicking our baking game up a notch. We get straight into asking Laura all our many questions about achieving the perfect base for our holiday desserts. Whether you love to use butter, shortening, or even lard, the important thing is to leave your fat a little chunky to create those flaky layers in your pie crust. If you prefer a rustic look and feel, a galette might be more your style. Hot tip: bake it in a cast iron skillet to avoid the mess if the filling leaks out of the pastry. When it comes to decorating the top of your pies and tarts, prepare your toppings in advance but wait to finish it off just before you serve it. Try adding cookies, fruit, caramel sauce or piped whipped cream to design your beautiful creations. We made Laura's recipe for a Raspberry Linzer Tart. This delicious dessert is based on a Linzer cookie, and is a beautiful tart to serve this holiday season. Get the Raspberry Linzer Tart recipe. Find Laura's book here: The Homemade Pie CookbookFollow Laura on Instagram @spiceandsugartable Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis week on Three Kitchens Podcast, we do one of our favourite things: explore an ingredient we've never used before. This time it's the Tamarind fruit. Erin uses it to make four fun recipes: Tamarind Spiced Muffins - these required a second batch, as the first time around we didn't love them. But you can count on Erin to get back to the kitchen and sort out this recipe. We LOVED them!Tamarind Chicken Wings - hoo boy, did we love these wings. They're now making a regular appearance at Erin's family wing night. SO. GOOD. Tamarind & Red Onion Rice - This recipe makes it easy to take your rice side dish to the next level.

Send us a textThis week on the show, Heather makes a family-favourite, a Tourtière Canadienne. This delicious French-Canadian meat pie is something we enjoy at Christmas, but you can make it any time you like. Heather combined a couple of recipes -- one from the cookbook, Eat Alberta First (Karen Anderson), and a recipe handed down to her by her mom. This recipe, which you can find on our website (link below!), makes two full pies. If you don't want to eat two full pies, you can prep one and freeze it to bring out later (just thaw before baking). The key to a Tourtière, in our opinion, is the spice combination: ground cinnamonground clovescelery saltdried summer savourysaltwhite pepperfreshly ground black pepperOne other note about a fantastic Tourtière is the pie crust. Heather made this one with lard and even Erin, pie baker extraordinaire, thought it was a damn good pie crust.

Send us a textThis episode is a joint effort to give you two ideas for pull-apart style yeast breads, one sweet and one savoury. Heather brings the pumpkin pull-apart bread using a fold method to create a loaf that easily pulls apart to reveal a gooey pumpkin filling. Erin makes savoury garlic pull-apart dinner rolls baked in a cast iron pan. This one will impress your dinner guests - it's so pretty! We had some ideas for improvement. The garlic buns were really big and we suggest making two pans of smaller buns. As for the pumpkin, baking in a loaf pan seemed a little tight and the centre wasn't as well-baked as it could be, so we think a cake pan would work better. But overall, we love these two options for pull-apart breads! Get the recipes! Garlic Pull-Apart BunsPumpkin Pull-Apart Bread Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textIntroducing a new episode format for season 6: Food for Thought! This one is a foray into Kitchen Witchery, just in time for Halloween. In the Food for Thought series we are talking about whatever we feel like getting into -- it might be a news story, history, trend or science -- always with some connection to food. It's not a deep dive, but just enough for you to sound interesting at your next family dinner. Kitchen witchery (see also kitchen divination) is the practice of fortune telling and spell casting using food, or performed during the act of cooking and baking. Reading tea leaves might be one of the most commonly known practices, but are you familiar with cromniancy, ovamancy, or tyromancy? Come along and learn a little about each of these in this Food for Thought episode. And don't miss the end, when Heather attempts to read Erin's fortune in brie cheese. You read that right. Kitchen witchery is also as simple as cooking with intention. Ever heard of adding love into your dishes? Cooking and baking with gratitude, focus and intention? You may already be practicing kitchen witchery! Learn more about Tyromancy from Jennifer Billock.

Send us a textThis is a fun one! Erin tries her hand at making mochi ice cream for a birthday celebration, this week on Three Kitchens Podcast. Mochi ice cream is a Japanese dessert made of a small scoop of ice cream encased in a soft, chewy, sweet rice cake called mochi. The mochi provides a unique, stretchy texture, while the ice cream offers flavour and creaminess. Think of it like a dessert dumpling. You can choose the ice cream flavours you love the most, and surprise your friends and family when they bite into their mochi ice cream. If it's your first time making mochi ice cream (as it was for Erin as well), take advantage of Erin's tips and tricks based on her experience with the recipe. Get the recipe for mochi ice cream.

Send us a textThis week on Three Kitchens Podcast, we welcome Renu Bhardwaj, a UK-based food blogger and author of Celebrate Diwali: Recipes, Activities, and Crafts for the Entire Family.Celebrate Diwali includes crafts, celebration tips, and of course, recipes: delicious, accessible Indian dishes that blend tradition with a modern, family-friendly approach. Renu shares her memories of learning to cook alongside her mother, and the dishes that take her right back to those regular family dinners, and annual Diwali festivals. We make one of her favourites, chole bhatura. As Renu describes it in her book: "The irresistible combination of spiced chickpeas and puffy, deep-fried bread makes chole bhatura a cherished and very popular Punjabi dish, especially at Diwali. Chickpeas are simmered and infused with aromatics and spices, and the dough needs to rest before being fried to create the pillowy bhatura, so I reserve this for special occasions like Diwali. Chole bhatura is also sure to wow guests with its layers of flavors and textures, bringing a celebratory mood and an atmosphere of joy, gratitude, and togetherness—and that crisp, hot-from-the-pan bread always tempts me into a gratifying second helping."We enjoyed making (and eating!) chole bhatura at home. The chickpeas couldn't be easier, and while the bread will take a little practice, we recommend giving it a try. It's everything Renu says it is -- warm, comforting and worthy of going back in for seconds. Ask your local bookstore for Celebrate Diwali: Recipes, Activities, and Crafts for the Entire Family by Renu Bhardwaj , or grab your copy online at Indigo or Amazon. Follow Renu on Instagram here.Get the recipe: Chole Bhatura************************************Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a gues Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textWelcome to the first episode of season 6 of the podcast! We're starting off with a tiny little Turkish dumpling called Manti. Heather takes on the challenge of filling and folding these itty bitty tasty morsels, which are served with a garlic yogurt sauce and drizzled with chili butter. The dough for Manti is easy to make and rolls out nicely. That's a win because it needs to be very thin (about 3mm)! After cutting it into small squares (2 - 3 cm) and then placing a tiny bit of filling in each (our filling was ground beef and grated onion), you then fold them up, boil to cook and serve with the delicious sauces. Yes, we timed it and it took Heather about 12 sec to fold each dumpling! Be sure to check out our socials for video of the folding technique, or you can also see it on the video for this episode on YouTube.Be sure you're subscribed, liking and following the show so you don't miss new episodes - coming every Tuesday! Get the recipe: Manti - Tiny Beef-Filled Turkish DumplingsRate, review, follow, subscribe and tell your friends!

Send us a textThis week on the podcast, we're trying what is known as the unofficial national dish of the Philippines, Chicken Adobo. Let's get right into it. In Filipino cuisine, adobo refers to both a cooking method—a very acidic braise—and the class of dishes produced by that method. In the recipe we try, vinegar serves as the key ingredient in the marinade (which also becomes the sauce). The vinegar of your choice (in this case, two types) are combined with garlic, soy sauce and bay leaves. the chicken is marinaded and then slow cooked using a basic braising method and then served over coconut rice. It's quite simple to make and the perfect base to play with and make it your own. Switch up the vinegar, add herbs, and try different proteins if you want. It's delicious! Episode Links~ Chicken Adobo Recipe~ Baking with Ube Halaya Episode~ Birthing Magazine Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis week on the podcast, Heather tries a recipe for Ginger Beef, the western Chinese dish originated in Calgary, Alberta. It's always high on our list of dishes to order when we eat Chinese, and we almost can't believe we've never tried making it at home. Let's put the recipe to the test and see if it's as good homemade as it is at the restaurant. According to our research, Ginger Beef was created by chef George Wong at his restaurant The Silver Inn in the early 1970s. Chef Wong knew the way to generate income was to sell more alcoholic beverages, so he created a recipe he thought would pair nicely with drinks. With British pub food as his inspiration, Ginger Beef was born. To this day, it is a very popular dish served in Canadian Chinese restaurants across Canada. For this recipe, steak is sliced thinly, battered and fried. A stir fry of julienned veggies is also made, along with the sauce, and then it's all tossed together. The key here is to let it all sit and soak up the sauce. Oh, and of course, the star ingredient is LOTS of ginger included in the julienned veggies. Heather had some difficulty getting the beef crispy -- the recipe didn't specify a temp for the frying oil, which may have been the problem. But the flavours here were spot on. This recipe tastes perfectly like our favourite ginger beef. Give it a try! You'll love it. FEATURED IN OUR MIDROLL: BIRTHING MAGAZINE Looking for trusted guidance on your pregnancy journey?

Send us a textThis week on Three Kitchens Podcast, we're diving into Canadian food history with special guest Kesia Kvill, a Canadian food historian with a passion for community, sustainability and youth mentorship.Kesia is a Community Engagement manager at a heritage organization in Edmonton, Alberta. She's been a chief curator at the largest living history museum in Canada and started her museum career as a demonstration volunteer at an agricultural museum before getting her first museum interpreter and tour guide job. Her academic studies focused on Canadian foodways, public history, and rural history. Together, we explore the question: What is Canadian food, really? It's a layered and evolving story that begins with the rich culinary traditions of Indigenous peoples, and continues through waves of settler and immigrant influences that have shaped kitchens across the country. From food production to community celebrations, we talk about how cooking and eating have always brought people together.Kesia shares insights into how food has always been more than just sustenance—it's tradition, identity, and connection. We also dive into a historical recipe from the Five Roses Cook Book (1915): a Burnt Sugar Cake that sparked both curiosity and cravings! Join us for a delicious conversation full of history, heritage, and a bit of burnt sugar. And trust us when we say, you will want to bake this cake! Episode Links~ Kesia Kvill on Instagram @kesiatk~ Kesia's Blog - Potatoes, Rhubarb, and Ox~ Burnt Sugar Cake~ Culinary Historians Of Canada Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis week, Heather uses a kabocha squash from her Odd Bunch subscription box to make kabocha korroke -- a Japanese croquette -- with a tonkatsu dipping sauce. Kabocha is also known as a Japanese pumpkin. It's a small squash with orange flesh that can be cooked like you would other types of squash. Korroke are typically deep fried, but Heather tries baking them. The squash is steamed, mashed and mixed with sautéed onion and bacon before being breaded with Panko crumbs. To serve, she mixed up a quick tonkatsu sauce.We weren't bowled over by these korroke. They are probably better fried, to be honest! Sometimes trying to make a recipe healthier means also making it less tasty, unfortunately. What do you think? Will you try these? Episode Links~ Kabocha Korroke recipe~ Odd Bunch~ Scotch Quail Eggs Episode~ Baked Tofu Episode~ Churros Episode~ Basil Melon Slushy Recipe~ Indigenous Cooking Episode Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textIn this Three Kitchens episode, Erin finds a new type of pancake for us to try! It's a Chinese scallion pancake, a fabulous addition to the rather long list of pancakes we've made here in our kitchens. And a great way to use a bunch of green onions (scallions).  Be sure to scroll down to find links to lots of other pancake recipes we've tried in the past! This is a savoury pancake made with a dough, rather than a batter, and a savoury filling. But don't worry - the dough is simple to make. Erin found it easy to mix up and knead on the counter. It rests for just 20 minutes while you mix up the filling, which is made with flour, oil, and salt. And chop some green onions. Take a small portion of dough and roll it out nice and thin. Spread a little of the filling, and add onions on top. Now there's a process of rolling, pinching and rolling to create what remind us of a laminated pastry. Don't worry -- Erin describes this process really well for us in the episode! Then you can cook them up and enjoy! FEATURED IN OUR MIDROLL: BIRTHING MAGAZINE Looking for trusted guidance on your pregnancy journey?

Send us a textOn the podcast this week, Heather's plan to make a simple refried bean recipe becomes not one recipe but four. That's the way these things go sometimes! And lucky you, listener, you get the benefit of hearing all about them! It begins with frigole de olla - Mexican Pot Beans. This is a simple recipe starting with dried beans in order to prepare them to use in those refried beans. Of course, you can eat them as is, mix into rice, or simply freeze them for later. Speaking of refried beans, this is a delicious smoky, slightly spicy recipe we absolutely loved. And yes, of course you can make them with canned beans if you prefer. Next up, in order to make open-faced sandwiches called Molletes, Heather bakes the common Mexican sandwich roll, Bolillos. This yeasty bread in the traditional oval shape was perfect for this sandwich. To make the Molletes, the Bolillos are sliced open, spread with the refried beans, topped with cheese which gets melted in the oven. Now, finish it off with a fresh pico de gallo -- chopped onion, jalepeños, tomatoes, and cilantro with lime juice and salt. Boy oh boy, this was one delicious sandwich! And yes, it all started with that craving for refried beans. FEATURED IN OUR MIDROLL: BIRTHING MAGAZINELooking for trusted guidance on your pregnancy journey?

Send us a textIn this episode, we welcome Cheryl Holling to be our third kitchen and she brings us a fantastic recipe for an easy Crunchy Crust Tuna Melt sandwich. This zhuzhed-up tuna melt will be your new favourite grilled sandwich! Cheryl Holling is a voice actor and podcaster who is passionate about hearing and telling stories. She hosts two podcasts:19 Stories From Fear to Hope in which she shares conversations with creatives about challenges they have faced, how they've persevere & created a hope-filled future. In The Voice Kitchen Cheryl joins up with fellow voice actors and foodies at her virtual table to share stories around their most special recipes.We chat about the route Cheryl took to becoming a voice talent and what lead her to hosting two podcasts. We ask her how she first learned to cook and what inspired her choice of recipe she shared with us. Turns out, it was a riff on something she saw demonstrated at a Williams-Sonoma store. That crispy quesadilla they were making to help sell a pan at the store led Cheryl to create a Cast Iron Crunchy-Crust Tuna Melt.   We love this sandwich - it's easy to make and customize based on what you like in the filling. Erin even made it four different ways to suit everyone in her family. We're thinking it'll be a great addition to this summer's camping menu! Please support Cheryl by checking out her podcasts - links below.  Episode Links~ Cheryl's Crunchy Crust Cast Iron Tuna Melt Recipe~ Cheryl's Podcast : 19 Stories from Fear to Hope~ Cheryl's Podcast : The Voice Kitchen~ Erin's No-Knead Overnight Bread Recipe~ Marinated Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis week on Three Kitchens Podcast, Erin has another mystery ingredient! Well, it's no mystery to you since it's there in the title, but it was a surprise to Heather when they sat down to record. It's quince -- a fruit from the rose family. Quince can be quite astringent and not good to eat raw, so poaching is a great way to prepare the fruit before you add it to your recipe - in this case, a tart with apples and a delightful frangipane (almond paste) layer!This tart recipe comes from Samin Nosrat, one of our favourite celebrity chefs. The quince is poached in wine for 2.5 hours. The pie crust is a simple butter pastry dough, rolled and chilled in the pan before you bake. First the frangipane goes down, then the quince and apple slices in a nice pattern. Erin sprinkled hers with a little rose sugar for extra sparkle. This. Is. Delicious. If quince sounds like a bit too much work, sub in other fruit, like plums, pears or apricots with the apples. Just don't skip the frangipane!  Episode Links~ Quince, Apple & Frangipane Tart Recipe~ Tart Dough Recipe~ Fig & Goat Cheese Tart Recipe~ No-Bake Chocolate Tart Episode (and the discussion about pie vs tart) Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis week we're helping you get ready for Easter with a fun baking project! Erin takes on a sponge cake with a pretty Easter design. Are you ready to try it, too? A sponge is a cake is a light cake that gets its texture from beaten eggs. When making a designed sponge cake, you separate some of the batter and colour it. Then you pipe the coloured batter onto the bottom of a pan in the design you want, then fill the pan the rest of the way with plain cake batter. When you flip it out, you have a beautifully-decorated cake -- without the trouble and extra sweetness of icing! Regular listeners probably know we are not big fans of decorating cakes, so this sounded like the perfect thing. Well, Erin ended up having to bake this cake twice because she had some trouble with the first sponge recipe. This bake was a whole thing! Come along for the ride and learn all about baking a decorative cake before you begin your own. That's what we're here for - testing it out to give you the benefit of our experience!    Episode Links~ Sponge Cake Recipe (Lemon Sponge Cake)~ Baking Scraps Episode~ Buche Noel Recipe~ Whisk Mayo Like Your Life Depends on It Episode~ Brunch Recipes with Deborah Johnson Episode~ Roasted Berry Jam Recipe Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis week, Heather is flexing her creativity to create a Cream Egg Cupcake. It's a take on the popular Easter treat, the Cadbury Creme Egg, in cupcake form. They turned out pretty well, after some brainstorming on the approach in the first half of the episode! Plus, Erin and Heather chat about ways to zhuzh-up boxed cake mixes (because sometimes that's handy, right?). At Three Kitchens, we're all about trying something new. Usually we prefer to have a recipe to follow, but what can you do? Sometimes there isn't one. In this case, there was an Instagram video with no recipe, but some vague details provided by helpfulish commenters. Probably not a baking project for an amateur, but what the heck. Let's go. The chocolate cake Heather bakes up for these cupcakes is an easy recipe called One Bowl Chocolate Cake. The ingredients are mixed up together in one bowl (obvs), and then you add a cup of hot water, which makes a thin cake batter. She amped up the chocolate flavour by adding instant coffee to the water. The tops of the cooled cupcakes are then hollowed out to leave room for the cream egg filling. In this case, the filling is a type of marshmallow fondant made by melting marshmallows and mixing in icing sugar until it's a pipe-able consistency. A small amount is coloured to look something like egg yolk, and then it's a game of filling cakes to look a little like a chocolate cream egg. Give this one a try! It actually turned out super cute and it's a fun cupcake for Easter. ~Chocolate Easter Cream Egg Cupcake recipe Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a text In this episode of Three Kitchens Podcast, we welcome Kerrie Penney, host of Secret Heart Broadcasting, a podcast that explores heartfelt stories, personal experiences, and the connections that shape our lives. Kerrie is passionate about sharing the voices of her guests in an authentic and meaningful way.She brings with her a special recipe from her childhood—Tomato Macaroni Soup. This comforting dish was a staple in her home, lovingly made by her mom. It was never written down. It was one of those recipes her mom made by feel -- a little of this, a pinch of that. But when Kerrie asked her mom to walk her through it, she made sure to preserve the recipe and now, she's sharing it with us! You begin by cooking a tomato base (which you can freeze for later when you want to make soup). We also found it delicious as a pasta or pizza sauce. Then you make a creamy white sauce, add in cooked macaroni, and then mix the white with the red, and you have a wonderful tomato macaroni soup. You can make it with fresh or canned tomatoes. Find a link to the recipe below.   A heartfelt thank you to Kerrie for joining us for a conversation about food, family and nostalgia. Follow Kerrie Penney & Secret Heart Broadcasting: secretheartbroadcasting.com Available on your favourite podcast platforms!Episode Links~ Tomato Macaroni Soup Recipe~ S3 E48 CAKE is a Four-Letter Word (why we're tired of decorating birthday cakes)~ S1 E3 Salt Preserved Lemons (Easy Peasy Lemon...

Send us a textThis week's episode is all about a pretty dessert square that requires absolutely zero decorating skills - just the way we like it around here! Erin makes a grapefruit shortbread square, but - plot twist! - she uses a pomelo instead of grapefruit (and a little lime zest). Here's what Wikipedia tells us about the pomelo: Pomelo is the largest citrus fruit. It is an ancestor of several cultivated citrus species, including the bitter orange and the grapefruit. It is a natural, non-hybrid, citrus fruit, native to Southeast Asia. Similar in taste to a sweet grapefruit, the pomelo is commonly eaten and used for festive occasions throughout Southeast and East Asia.Erin felt inspired by the Paloma cocktail (see below for the link to our Speakeasy episode about that!) and wanted to make a dessert bar that recreates that grapefruit flavour. The base of the bar is a delicious shortbread cookie crust, which you parbake before adding the topping. Parbaking is when you partially bake the crust without the topping, to ensure a crisp bottom and prevent sogginess when you add the filling. The tricky part of a citrus bar like this is getting the curd topping to set. It's made by whisking sugar, flour, eggs, citrus juice and zest, and a drop of food colouring if you wish. Pour it over the hot crust and then back it goes in the oven to finish it off. If all goes well, you will have a beautiful bar that just screams Springtime and Easter and, I don't know, birthday parties and high tea and summer picnics. FEATURED IN OUR MIDROLL: BIRTHING MAGAZINELooking for trusted guidance on your pregnancy journey?

Send us a textHappy St. Paddy's day, everyone! With this day of celebration just around the corner, we're getting ready with a big warm bowl of Lamb Stew made with Guinness. And on the side, lovely little Yorkshire Puddings. This is a basic sort of stew recipe, which most home cooks among us will be familiar with to some extent. No real special techniques required here! As usual, we recommend prepping (chopping veggies and meat, bundling or measuring herbs) in advance so you're set to go. And if you've never made a roux, here's your chance to get familiar with this technique of whisking flour into fat to thicken a sauce. Yorkshire Puddings are a very simple recipe. A quick batter is poured into a hot muffin tin with oil and baked. That's it! Thanks for listening and if you enjoy the show, please rate/review and tell a friend!

If you also love playing new-to-you ingredients, as we do, you'll enjoy adventure in Korean cooking. She shares her experience braising this unique ingredient and pairing it with rich, flavourful Korean miso & gochujang short ribs alongside perfectly cooked Korean rice. Can you tell Erin has been obsessing over Korean cooking shows lately? Lucky for all of us! According to Serious Eats, "Whether it's stir-fried, boiled, braised, steamed, or deep-fried, lotus root remains crisp yet tender. The plant is an endlessly forgiving ingredient with which to experiment, culinarily speaking." Tune in to hear about the cooking process, the surprises along the way, and how trying something new in the kitchen can be both exciting and delicious. Episode Links~~~~~ Miso & Gochujang Braised Short Ribs Recipe~ Braised Lotus Root Recipe~ Pickled Radish Recipe~ Chatsworth Farm Episode~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis week on Three Kitchens Podcast, we welcome Lisa and Cristina from The Baking Scraps podcast to chat about the fascination with baking competition shows, and their personal experiences auditioning for The Great Canadian Baking Show. We also get their advice on a couple of baking projects - stuffed cookies and a Buche de Noel. Lisa and Cristina met while auditioning for The Great Canadian Baking Show, and they turned their shared experience and love of home baking into the popular podcast, The Baking Scraps. They bring you baking tips and tricks; review baking show episodes; share their biggest baking fails; and give each other - and you - challenges with new bakes and old home favourites. We were thrilled to pick their brains about what it's really like to audition for a baking competition show, why these types of baking shows are so popular, and we get their tips and ideas for two baking projects of our own. Heather takes on a stuffed cookie, with the goal of using her homemade apple butter as the filling. And somehow, during a game of Bake It or Buy It, we wrangle Erin into trying a Buche de Noel (Yule Log) cake for Christmas! You can find out how both of these recipes turned out by listening to the four of us again on The Baking Scraps sister episode!  Find the recipes on our website - links are below! Episode Links~~~~~ The Baking Scraps Podcast~ Three Kitchens Podcast on The Baking Scraps~ Buche Noel Cake Recipe~ Caramel & Apple Butter Stuffed Cookies Recipe~ The Great Canadian Baking Show~ Baking Sour Dough Bread with Guest Larry Harris~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis week on the show, Erin tries a recipe for Beef Tongue Stroganoff from the Prairie cook book from Dan Clapson and Twyla Campbell. If you're not up for processing tongue, you can make this recipe with any leftover beef, such as pot roast. She also made egg noodles to enjoy with the stroganoff. The noodle recipe gave her trouble, which she blamed on Heather for recommending it. It was a while thing. Let's talk about it!   The first step for Erin was to braise the beef tongue. The added bonus here is that cooking it this way also produces a delicious beef broth for the stroganoff gravy. Stroganoff is a classic Russian recipe of beef in a creamy mushroom gravy. The leftover beef is cubed and added to the rich mushroom sauce and served, in this case, over egg noodles. As for those noodles... Heather shared a recipe she has made a few times and with which she has had good success with very little trouble. Well, Erin found it difficult to work with as the dough is quite dry. As many of us home cooks know, making pasta is a skill that develops when you practice it often. For those of us who don't often make noodles, it can be fussy and annoying! But in the end, we had a beautiful dish of beef tongue stroganoff and egg noodles, well worth the effort of working with that cut of meat and dry pasta dough!  Episode Links~~~~~ Prairie cookbook~ Beef Stroganoff Recipe~ Braised Beef Tongue Recipe~Bisous & Brioche cookbook~ Chatsworth Farm Episode~ Squash Ravioli Recipe~ Squash Ravioli Episode~ Pot Roast Recipe~ Spinach Pasta Episode~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis week we're experimenting with different grilled cheese sandwiches! Who doesn't love a grilled cheese?? We sure do! But they can be a whole lot more than just bread and cheese.  Have you ever marinated the cheese for your grilled cheese sandwich? Well, when it comes down to it, you're really mixing the cheese with other flavourful things to amp up your sandwich game. Whether it helps to allow the cheese to "marinate" or not, is a question we really didn't answer. But either way, you cannot go wrong with these sandwich fillings. Erin made three grilled cheese variations for us to try, all beginning with the base of home-baked overnight bread and aged white cheddar cheese: 1. caramelized onion and grainy mustard2. sundried tomato, green olives, oregano, cumin, chilli flakes 3. red pepper relish and parsley Our favourites, in order, were #2, #3 and #1, but you can't go wrong adding in whatever tasty things you enjoy with cheese. And speaking of cheese, you can mix that up too if you want to try different varieties. Have fun with it!

Send us a textIt's time for cake! Well, at Three Kitchens Podcast, it's always time for cake. And this is a goood one. It's a Sesame, Banana, Date Cake from chef/restauranteur Yotam Ottolenghi. There are a few components here, so if you need to you can prep in advance. This is a moist, delicious cake with tahini, banana slices, roasted sesame seeds and chopped dates stirred in. It's a nice big cake - Heather used a 10-inch springform pan. Then it's all about the toppings. First, is a light and fluffy icing made with tahini, cream cheese and mascarpone cheese. Next is caramelized sliced bananas scattered on top. And finally, a rich flavourful date syrup. Heather made her own date syrup but you could buy this ingredient. You'll have to wash a lot of dishes but this cake is well worth it. Yum, yum, yummy. Episode Links~~~~~ Sesame & Date Banana Cake Recipe~ Watch Three Kitchens Podcast on our YouTube channel~ Guests on Three Kitchens Podcast~ S5 E12 Cooking Appalachian with Amy Clark, host of Talking Appalachian Podcast~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textIn this episode, we welcome guest, Nancy May, from the Family Tree, Food & Stories Podcast. Nancy and her co-host, Silvia Lovely, have also authored a book:  My Family Tree, Food & Stories. We chat about these projects, and a recipe from Nancy, her Mom's Special Chicken. Mom's Special Chicken is an easy dish of baked chicken pieces (breast or thighs), browned and then baked with apricot preserves, white wine and pine nuts. You can make it your own by adding herbs and seasonings, and you could swap broth for the wine if you like. We enjoyed Mom's Special Chicken with homemade egg noodles, but Nancy says she usually serves it with rice, which does a great job of soaking up that yummy apricot sauce.   Family Tree, Food & Stories podcast connects generations through family stories, food history, and heritage. Each episode uncovers the stories behind cherished recipes, unforgettable meals with family and friends, and unique food traditions that bring us together at the table. Nancy and Silvia, along with their guests, celebrate how food creates lasting connections — every meal tells a story, and every story is a feast waiting to be shared. My Family Tree, Food & Stories, an illustrated book in a journal format, helps you do just that: capture the essence of these special moments, family food traditions, and passed-down recipes all in one place. Silvia and Nancy hope it will, in time, become your family's treasure trove of fun-to-remember stories, almost-lost recipes, and family faces and places from the past.Episode Links~~~~~ Apricot Chicken Recipe~ Family Tree Food & Stories Podcast~ Family Tree Food & Stories Book~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

Send us a textThis episode is all about learning to make Chinese Hot Pot at home. It is by no means an expert or exhaustive guide, but a chat about Heather's experience trying her hand at making hot pot for her family. As we always tell you, we're not experts in anything. Life is easier that way. :-) Hot pot is a flavourful broth traditionally served inside a large pot in the middle of the table. The broth is brought to a boil and left simmering for the duration of the meal. Raw ingredients, such as meat, vegetables, dumplings and noodles, are placed into the simmering broth and cooked until just done, and then enjoyed with a dipping sauce. Hot pot is not soup! The broth is the medium for cooking, but the pieces (meat, veggies) are cooked a few things at a time and then eaten before adding more to the pot.

Send us a textPaige Friend, host of The Beach Speaks Podcast, joins us for this episode, sharing a recipe for Eggplant Parmesan inspired by a trip to Italy. We get into the details of the recipe and Erin's experience with making it; we talk about mindfulness and making your dreams happen; and we chat, of course, about the beach.Have you ever eaten a meal while away on vacation and tried to recreate it when you got back home? That's how Paige developed this eggplant parmesan recipe. The key is a delicious homemade marinara sauce, made with love. Paige's advice is to take your time and allow it to simmer for hours to bring out the flavour. Paige has channeled her love for the beach into her podcast, The Beach Speaks. She and her guests share stories of the human connection to the beach - the times they've enjoyed at beaches around the world, environmental concerns related to the water and shorelines, great beach reads and lots more. Be sure to tune into The Beach Speaks and follow Paige on her social media accounts.

Send us a textStart off the new year with a fresh take on a coleslaw salad featuring shredded brussels sprouts and a vinaigrette dressing. For this episode, Heather tried to locate an Asian slaw recipe she loved, but it had disappeared from her Pinterest feed. This is a good reminder to us all to save recipes we love offline! The recipe she tried for this episode didn't quite measure up in her opinion. We have notes! Brussels sprouts tend to have a bit more of a bitter flavour to cabbage, and in our opinion, are chewier in texture. The salad is a mix of brussels sprouts and green cabbage and it does have some really delicious add-ins, like mango, cucumber, sesame seeds, almonds and grapes. The dressing may be where this falls flat. What are your thoughts? Send us a message or comment on our social posts for this episode - we'd love to hear from you!

Send us a textMerry Christmas, everyone! This episode will be available on Christmas Eve 2024, and we thought it would be fun to chat about food traditions in our own homes as well as around the world.

Check out the article from National Geographic - linked below.  We discuss a few of our own traditions, but it turns out we're not big on too many of them. And we read aloud some traditions that were shared with us by followers on Threads. Thank you to all who shared your stories with us!  Thank you for tuning in and supporting the podcast in 2024!

Send us a textCome along with Heather on a twisty turvy adventure to find a recipe for today's episode. She used trending Google search terms (and lucky number 3) to discover what recipe searches are popular right now and settled on Chinese Stuffed Eggplant, a popular dim sum dish. In this recipe, Japanese eggplant (the long thin ones) is stuffed with a minced pork and shrimp mixture, similar to a dumpling filling. It is lightly browned and then steamed, and finished with a simple sauce of soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, chicken stock, oyster sauce, and sugar.
