This 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. A Bearable Conversation and everything The Reyes Group has to offer can be found online at www.reyesgroup.ca

In this week’s episode, Erin takes home cooks on a flavourful peek into the Falastin cookbook (by Tamimi and Wigley), highlighting two delicious variations of the popular Middle Eastern dish, shakshuka. Whether you’re new to cooking or an experienced home chef, these recipes are perfect for adding to your cooking repertoire.

First, Erin dives into the classic red shakshuka recipe—a comforting dish where eggs are poached in a rich tomato-based sauce with olive oil, bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Spiced with cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper, this version is a staple in North African and Middle Eastern kitchens. It’s simple to prepare and can be adjusted to match your preferred spice level, making it a versatile dish for any meal.

But the exploration doesn't stop there! Erin also introduces listeners to an exciting green shakshuka recipe, a unique twist loaded with leafy greens and topped with a zesty, herbed feta cheese. This refreshing variation offers a new way to enjoy shakshuka, adding vibrant flavors and textures that will inspire you to get creative in the kitchen.

Throughout the episode, Erin shares cooking tips for getting perfect poached eggs—cooked just until the whites are set, but the yolks remain runny, ready to be mixed into the sauce. Serve it with a slice of crusty bread, and you’ve got a dish that’s both satisfying and full of flavour.

Tune in to learn how to cook these two delicious shakshuka recipes, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner! Whether you're craving the traditional red version or curious about the green shakshuka, this episode will leave you inspired to try these flavourful dishes at home.

This 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.

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss connections between food and mental health with guest Che Burnett, a counsellor with The Calgary Counselling Centre.

Some of the things we chat about are:

Slowing down and being being mindful when we eat can help reduce the stress and anxiety caused by our hectic busy lives.

The dopamine affect - it feels so good but watch out for the crash!

Especially for youth, feeling a connection to our ancestry through traditional foods enjoyed with family can help give us a sense of belonging and identity.

When it comes to nutrition, Che shares his insight into some specifics, but reminds us to aim for a balanced diet of whole food for optimal mental health.

And don't forget to start the day with water (IYKYK)!

Thank you to Che and The Calgary Counselling Centre for being our guest on this episode! Learn more using the links below.

Regular listeners know we love a cooking or baking challenge, and we've been known to bring home something totally new to us to experiment cooking with. On this episode Erin dives into an exploration of cassava root, also known as a yuca. This is a new one for us both, never having cooked with it before. Fair warning, results are mixed! Let's get into it.

Erin roasts the raw cassava by first boiling it and then tossing it in oil and seasonings. They turned out not terrible, but a bit dry and too starchy for our taste. In our opinion, just eat potatoes. They're much better. Or perhaps the cassava from the store wasn't fresh enough and just should have been eaten earlier. Who knows.

She also tries a recipe called Pan de Yuca (cheese bread) using cassava flour. It's a bit like a small gluten-free cheese bun. These were pretty good fresh out of the oven, but they didn't keep well past the day they were made. We might make these again, knowing to eat them right away!

You don't know how to cook with something new, or even whether you'll enjoy the flavour, until you try. Count on us to jump in and try anything!

Welcome to the 200th episode of Three Kitchens Podcast! In this episode, Heather finds many uses for the abundant harvest from her Romeo Cherry tree.

Here's a rundown of recipes we're sharing in this episode:

Chocolate Cherry Upside Down Cake - simply toss cherries in a little sugar and cornstarch, layer them in the bottom of the cake plan and pour the chocolate cake batter over top. Delicious!

Cherry Vanilla Maple Shrub (drinking vinegar) - shrubs are a favourite of ours since we discovered them while recording our Speakeasy cocktail episodes. The combo of cherries and vanilla make an extremely good shrub.

Cherry Shrub Manhattan Cocktail - put that shrub to good use in a classic Manhattan cocktail. So tasty.

Cherry Bourbon BBQ Sauce - this BBQ sauce is on the sweeter side because of the fruit, and we loved it on grilled chicken. It would also be fantastic on a burger!

The Romeo Cherry tree is a hardy variety developed by the University of Saskatchewan. It's amazing how many cherries can be grown on this little tree! But you don't need to grow your own to make these awesome recipes - grab a bag of frozen cherries at the store and get busy!

Join us in welcoming our first guest co-host, Megan Gaul from Partake Meal Planning and Wellness! Megan shares with us her mom's delicious Banana Chocolate Chunk Coffee Muffins, but this episode is so much more than a recipe.

We chat about where our attitudes about food stem from, and how we can shift our thinking so we can enjoy the treats - like theses muffins made with real butter and white sugar - without guilt or worry. We also get some great meal planning tips from Megan to get organized for the week ahead. Are you, as the family member responsible for getting food into the table, the last on the list of priorities? Us too! If we plan our meals, it's a little easier to make ourselves, our dietary needs, goals and wishes, just as important in the mix along with everyone else.

Megan describes herself as a seasoned weight-maintenance warrior, coach and accountability partner. She offers personalized coaching to help her clients get on track and stay there! She also hosts free weekly meal planning workshops on Instagram to help us all be more intentional with our meals. Check her out at www.partakemealplanning.com

In our final episode of Season 4 of the podcast, we do a quick review of the past season and give a sneak peek into some of our plans for Season 5.

Season 4 highlights:

• 11 months
• 13 guests
• 46 episodes
• at least as many recipes as episodes (some episodes features more than one)

Erin chooses pickled peaches and grilled chicken thighs as one of her favourite episodes from Season 4. Heather puts any of the recipes using juniper berries (sweet buns, shortbread...) at the top of her list.

We're taking the month of August off for a much-needed break. We'll be back in September for Season 5. We hope to welcome some of our fellow podcasters to sit in as guest hosts to share their recipes and stories. We'll continue searching out amazing guests to teach us all about their specialities and expertise. As always we'll be exploring cuisine from as many parts of the world as we can in our home kitchens and sharing those experiences with you.

Keep up with us on socials over the break and be sure you're subscribed so you don't miss new episodes when they drop in the fall. Happy summer!
