Pistachio Tiramisu: Faheema Ahmed by Radio Islam

Utterly thrilled with his work perk of a whole ton of beautiful, fresh pistachio nuts, Simon has gone nuts experimenting with this ingredient.He's tried nearly everything, but today's dish is far-and-away his favourite:PISTACHIO TRAY-BAKE CHICKENHeat oven to 220CTo make the pistachio paste:Chop 1 cup of shelled and roasted pistachios with one small bunch parsley. Get it quite well chopped and fine and then into a bowl.Add zest of 1 lemon, 2 finely grated garlic cloves, a pinch salt, 1 tsp Dijon mustard and 3 tbs olive oil.MIX WELL til you have a chunky paste.Take a bunch of broccolini and toss with 1tbs of the pistachio paste and set aside600g boneless, skin-on chicken thighs. Coat them with the remaining pistachio paste.Pop on tray and roast for 15 mins and then add the greens and roast for another 10 mins or until the greens are cooked and the pistachio crust has gone golden.Serve with Simon's Lemon Yoghurt.

In this lively new episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois dive into the latest food, retail, and agriculture headlines before sitting down with a fascinating guest: Bryce Lobreau, Co-Founder of 8 Acres, one of Canada's most innovative organic and grass-fed beef brands.The episode begins with a timely look at Canadians' Thanksgiving dinner costs for 2025. Sylvain shares the results of his annual food price survey, which shows some rare good news: overall holiday meal costs are essentially flat compared to last year, with turkey and fresh produce slightly cheaper. However, canned items like cranberries and pumpkin pie fillings are more expensive due to tariffs on aluminum packaging. The hosts debate changing consumer choices at Thanksgiving, including a move toward lamb and premium proteins.From there, Michael and Sylvain analyze the broader North American food landscape. They unpack the impact of a potential U.S. government shutdown on Canadian agriculture, food inspections, and border trade. The duo also explore the ongoing pistachio recall tied to salmonella contamination, with Sylvain warning consumers to toss any pistachio products they may still have at home. Dairy access in trade negotiations between Canada and the U.S. also comes under scrutiny, with Sylvain highlighting the structural problems in Canada's supply management system. Other hot topics include soybean market disruptions caused by Chinese buying patterns, Canada Post strikes affecting grocery flyers, wildfire impacts on crop yields, and the surprising growth of sushi sales in North American grocery stores.The second half of the show features an in-depth conversation with Bryce Lobreau of 8 Acres. Bryce shares his journey as a third-generation Manitoba farmer who pivoted into organic cattle ranching to survive tough agricultural markets. He and his business partner, Ben Stewart, have built 8Acres into a pioneering national brand, raising over 3,000 head of cattle across certified organic and grass-fed programs. Bryce explains the challenges of scaling in today's cattle market, from soaring calf prices to attracting new ranchers to transition into organics.Listeners will also hear how 8Acres is embracing regenerative agriculture practices, integrating livestock into cropping systems, extending grazing periods, and even experimenting with live-stream farm cameras to build transparency with consumers. Bryce candidly discusses “farmer guilt” around pricing, the importance of branding in Canada's protein sector, and his vision of making organic and grass-fed beef mainstream in Canadian grocery stores over the next decade. Here is the link to buy Sylvain's great Poutine Nation:https://utpdistribution.com/9781487541781/poutine-nation/  The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

The September 30 edition of the AgNet News Hour mixed lighthearted fair talk with serious updates on California's pistachio industry. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill opened the show with reminders to get out and support FFA and 4-H students at the upcoming Fresno Fair, before pivoting to an in-depth conversation with Rich Kreps, pistachio grower, Ultra Gro agronomist, and board chairman for American Pistachio Growers. Kreps reported that despite late-season rains causing isolated losses in Kings and Fresno Counties, California pistachio growers are harvesting one of the best crops in years. Quality is high, volume is strong, and the U.S. industry has already committed over one billion pounds to domestic and international buyers. “Farmers are pretty darn happy,” Kreps said, noting that the only downside is the wait: growers won't see final payments until 14 months after harvest. Price, Kreps explained, depends on processors. While Wonderful's opening price landed below a dollar, other handlers came in higher, and with bonuses and export premiums, many expect final settlements closer to $2 per pound or more. That's welcome news in a year when pistachio quality is strong, even if nut size is slightly smaller due to the large crop. The discussion highlighted why pistachios are a long-term play. Trees can live centuries — there are orchards still producing that were planted in the 1960s — but they take years to become profitable. “It's legalized gambling,” Kreps said. “You better love it, because you're not making money in the first 10 years.” Beyond harvest, Kreps praised the marketing success of American pistachios abroad, including campaigns in India where cricket stars promote the nut as a healthy, high-protein snack. He also stressed the need for California water solutions, saying the state has enough annual runoff to supply five years of use if only it were stored properly. From corndog recalls to trade policy, Nick and Josh kept the conversation lively, but the takeaway for farmers was clear: 2025 is shaping up as a strong year for pistachios, and California's position as the world's leading producer remains secure.

Facing tightening SGMA regulations and the specter of future droughts, how should we be designing the almond orchard of the future? On the podcast, Franz Niederholzer discusses his idea of a test almond orchard at the Nickels Soil Lab with different rootstocks provided reduced irrigation treatments from planting onward. Should a grower provide full irrigation to fewer acres, or reduced irrigation to their existing farming footprint?Come to an upcoming extension meeting!2025 International School on Microirrigation for Crop Production: Class Lectures at UC Davis October 13-15, and field trips October 16-17.

Researchers have been conducting almond irrigation and other studies at the Nickels Soil Lab in Arbuckle, CA for over 50 years! On the podcast, Franz Niederholzer revisited research on early microirrigation, the consequences of late season drought in young almonds, and the implications of one-year of season-long drought in mature almonds. Dialing in irrigation is the greatest task for California orchardists, and we should continue to learn from the lessons of our predecessors.

Environmental bud failure showed up in almonds in a big way in 2025. From a subtle delay of leafing in parts of Nonpareil canopies throughout the Central Valley to some orchards in the northern Sacramento Valley with only half leaf out. This disorder also called leafing failure, severely affected many growers in the northern Sacramento Valley. Dr. Tom Gradziel (UC Davis) gets into the complexities of this disorder, as well as discussing the unusual bloom in 2025.

Regenerative agriculture is currently all the rage these days in some circles. With a broad range of practices that can be classified as regenerative, it still can feel like a mushy term that means different things to different people (which is actually by design).

Walnut scale is a minute insect pest that can, if populations build high enough and kill fruiting wood. It can do this by directly allowing pathogens entry into walnut wood, or by weaking branches, making them more vulnerable to infection.

The rest can be kept in an airtight container for a couple of weeks – good with strawberries and cream too.

We know pistachios, and we love to eat them. Despite pistachio ice cream being the objectively best way to consume this nut , the majority of pistachios are sold in-shell. Have you ever wondered how those shells split? In this episode, Phoebe sits down with Shuxiao (Susan) Zhang and Georgia Drakakaki, two of the authors of a recently published study on the mechanisms behind pistachio shell splitting. They discuss how the cells of a shell enable splitting, whether kernel size really does impact split percentage, and why Golden Hills has a higher split percentage than Kerman.Come to an upcoming extension meeting!In the Sacramento Valley: North Sac Valley Groundwater and SGMA is on Tuesday, June 24Save the date for Prune Research Tour Part 2 on Tuesday, July 15 The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed are the speaker's own and do not represent the views, thoughts, and opinions of the University of California.

Nick and Ange are joined by a Last One Laughing star - and the Dish table sees its first proposal. Lou Sanders is a comedian, writer and podcaster who has appeared on TV shows including QI, Dancing on Ice, Would I Lie to You, Live at the Apollo and Taskmaster, which she won in 2019. She joins us at the tail end of her latest stand-up tour, No Kissing in the Bingo Hall, and following her iconic appearance in Last One Laughing.  Earlier this year Lou launched a brand new podcast, A Psychic Told Us To Do It, with her best friend Georgie Bayford. The show puts Lou's passion for the spiritual front and centre, featuring chats about pet psychics, witchcraft, holistic foot therapy and manifesting. You can also read all about Lou's life and career in her 2023 book, What's That Lady Doing?. Angela serves a delicious creamy mushroom & pistachio tagliatelle, with a side of sauteed garlic and spinach. Our Waitrose wine experts suggest pairing this with a glass of  Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino but, for Lou, it's served with a glass of Thomson & Scott Noughty Rouge Dealcoholized Wine.  As you would expect, conversations in this episode roam freely, contemplating all the big questions: Is Lou in her gardening era?; Is her cat Bobert her husband from a past life?; And what is the deal with raw onion? Our tagliatelle dish is a vegan hit, earning Lou's seal of approval right from the first sniff, and the Fast Food Quiz finally meets its match.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish We can't all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help.  Send your dilemmas to dish@waitrose.co.uk and she'll try to answer them in a future episode. Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions.
