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.

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 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.

Send us a textIn this episode Heather tries a recipe for Matambre, an Argentinian stuffed flank steak. You're going to roll hard boiled eggs, bell peppers, a mixture of cilantro, garlic and olive oil in a flank steak and grill it on the BBQ. Matambre is actually the name of a common cut of beef in parts of south America. It's a large thin steak. The title of this episode comes from one source that claims the name also means "hunger killer." Heather had a few stumbles, including running out of kitchen twine to tie it up. Doh! And she was confused as to how to ensure the meat in the middle of the roll is cooked. But the flavours were there and we all really enjoyed this recipe served with a red chimmichurri sauce.

Send us a textThis week, Erin is trying a tofu recipe in hopes of convincing her carnivorous family to enjoy meatless Mondays more often. The recipe is a breaded and baked tofu, smothered in buffalo sauce and enjoyed with a crunchy celery slaw. It is really delicious! If you're new to cooking with tofu or want a new way to enjoy it, this one is for you! Listen along to learn how to make it.  Firm tofu is sliced and marinated in soy sauce and lemon juice. Then you bread it with panko, bake until it's crispy, and top with buffalo sauce. Erin ended up making her own version of a buffalo sauce starting with cholula sauce, and it was great! We enjoyed it with a crunchy creamy celery slaw with loads of dill and it was the perfect pairing.

Send us a textThis week we welcome CJ, the creator of A Well Read Tart book and recipe blog, and co-host of the Dark Side of the Word podcast. We talk books, recipe development, learning to cook, AND we make her go-to Paprika Shrimp & Gouda Polenta recipe. Have you ever been inspired to bake or cook while reading a book? CJ shares her creative thinking behind her blog - how she comes up with ideas for recipes that connect in some way to books she reads, and her process for recipe development. We asked CJ to share a recipe with us and she chose a shrimp and cheesy polenta dish. Erin took this one on, because she doesn't have a lot of experience cooking shrimp and she wanted to learn. CJ shares tips for buying and cooking shrimp, if you're also a newbie. And this polenta is cheesy, creamy and fantastic! We absolutely love it. It's a side dish that can be paired with almost anything you're serving.   A Well Read Tart is a blog CJ created to discuss books and the recipes she develops that are inspired by the books she reads. If you're into books and recipes, this is obviously for you! Her co-hosted podcast, Dark Side of the Word is a discussion on writing topics, and horror fiction.

Send us a textRemember when a recipe called Marry Me Chicken was trending? It was named that because apparently testers thought it was so good, they wanted to propose to the recipe creator who made it. Well, this week on the podcast, Heather is making a vegan version of this dish - Marry Me Chickpeas. Let's learn to make it and find out if it's proposal-worthy! In this dish, chickpeas are cooked in a creamy and flavourful tomato sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Heather added canned lentils for some extra fibre and protein. It's quick to make, warm and filling. We think it makes an excellent side dish, or a simple meal eaten with a nice chunk of crusty bread. And speaking of bread, she made one of her favourite little no-knead loaves of artisan bread, baked in a dutch oven. It's a quick way to have fresh bread the day you want to serve it.  What do you think? Would this sort of dish inspire you to propose marriage on the spot?    FEATURED IN OUR MIDROLL: BIRTHING MAGAZINELooking for trusted guidance on your pregnancy journey?

Send us a textThis week our guest Gillian Seguin, Associate Wealth Advisor with Reyes Group (iA Private Wealth) joins us to share her love for all things pumpkin spice (and oh yes, we agree with her!). Gillian also explains to us all how financial planning is a lot like following a recipe. So, if you've ever wanted a peek into the mind of a personal wealth advisor, this is the episode for you.  It's a little bit of finance and a little bit of pumpkin baking.  Like lots of kids, Gillian was a super picky eater when she was little. As an adult, even though she has overcome the pickiness and now loves to eat all sorts of foods, those negative feelings she associated with food as a kid still haunt her. She confesses it has left her feeling a little scared of cooking. We chat about how that impacts her approach to preparing meals at home (hot tip: meal kit services are a great entry point to learning recipes). Heather takes on the pumpkin spice challenge by making a Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Bar. It was delicious, although we debated the crust...  Heather had tried a gluten-free option made with quinoa (inspired by last week's episode about going gluten-free) but we didn't love it. If you're able to, we suggest making a simple graham cracker, sugar, butter crust as you see in many cheesecake recipes. Gillian and her business partner, John Reyes, co-host a video podcast called A Bearable Conversation in which they discuss personal financial planning and related topics with a healthy dose of good-natured banter.

Send us a textThis week we welcome John Reyes, a Wealth Advisor, iA Private Wealth as our guest co-host. John shares with us how his family is transitioning to a gluten-free (gf) diet due to his young daughter's Celiac disease diagnosis. John and his family of five have been learning how challenging it can be to transition to a gluten-free diet, from grocery shopping and finding gf versions of their favourite foods, to being vigilant about cross contamination and asking the right questions when eating out. And no matter what, they're a family unit and if one has to eat gluten-free, they all will. It's not an easy adjustment for everyone.  Since pizza is one thing John said he especially wants to make at home with a gf recipe, Erin accepted the challenge and tested a recipe for gf crust made with cassava flour and potato. We enjoyed the texture and were happy to find a slice can be eaten by hand. We think it's a good option for anyone needing to eat gluten-free.    John and his business partner, Gillian Seguin, co-host a video podcast called A Bearable Conversation in which they discuss personal financial planning and related topics with a healthy dose of good-natured banter.

Send us a textThis week on Three Kitchens Podcast, Heather is trying something new - Dulce de Manzana is described as a classic Spanish apple paste. It just might be your new favourite addition to happy hour - add it to your tapas spread, brunch table or charcuterie boards. We enjoyed it on a slice of baguette with cheese and prosciutto. It is seriously delicious. Peel and core your apples. Cook with lemon juice until apples are soft. Purée the apples and then add water and sugar. Cook it down until you've got a thick, jammy consistency. Let it cool in a glass container, cover and refrigerate until set. Then you can turn it out on a plate or your charcuterie board and slice to serve.  We enjoyed our ducle de manzana with a fresh baked bread, flavoured butter, slices of cheese and prosciutto. It was delicious. FEATURED IN OUR MIDROLL: BIRTHING MAGAZINELooking for trusted guidance on your pregnancy journey?
