    S6 E19: Two Different Almond Cookies

    Send a text It'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 Cookies One-Bite Almond Cookie Balls Also mentioned in this episode:  Stuffed Brown Butter Cookies recipe Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking show Check out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.com You can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.

    S6 E18: Julia Child's Ratatouille Recipe

    Send us a text This 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!

    S6 E14: Hot Breakfast Farro with Dates and Homemade Spiced Chai

    Send us a text In 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 show Check out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.com You can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.

    S6 E13: Tofu Meatballs in a Lemongrass Curry

    Send us a text In 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. We don't ever share a recipe we wouldn't want to make again ourselves.    Chapters 12:38 Exploring Meat Alternatives: Tofu Meatballs 14:57 Cooking Techniques and Ingredient Challenges 16:31 Flavour vs. Texture: The Lemongrass Dilemma 18:44 Feedback and Adjustments: Learning from Experience 21:14 Final Thoughts and Future Experiments Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking show Check out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.com You can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.

    S6 E12: Food for Thought - How Human Diet Influenced Evolutionary Changes in Our Teeth

    Send us a text Get 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 Teeth Why we Have so Many Problems with our Wisdom Teeth Wisdom Teeth and Genetics: Why Some People do not Have Wisdom Teeth Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking show Check out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.com You can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.
