This week on Speakeasy, we're taking jell-o shots to the next level! You can impress your party guests - or be the most popular guest yourself when you walk through the door with a tray of these beauties!
Begin by hollowing out half a naval orange. Mix your drink with gelatin and pop it in the fridge to set. Then slice your beautiful up-scale jell-o shots!
For these shots, Heather mixed a New Orleans classic, the Hurricane cocktail. It's a blend of rums, fruit juices and grenadine to give it that vibrant colour.
3 oranges, halved
1/2 cup white rum
1/2 cup dark rum
1/2 cup passion fruit juice (or tropical fruit blend)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons simple syrup (1 part sugar to 1 part water, boiled until the sugar dissolves)
2 tablespoons grenadine
2 envelopes gelatin

1. Run a paring knife around the inside edge of each orange peel to release the flesh. Using your hands, carefully remove the flesh from the oranges to make 6 shells. Squeeze enough of the flesh to make 1/4 cup of juice.
2. Combine the white and dark rums in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Combine the orange juice, passion fruit juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and grenadine in a bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the juice mixture and let sit for 1 minute. Pour the hot rum over the juices and whisk until the gelatin completely dissolves, about 5 minutes.
4. Divide the hot juice mixture among the orange shells and chill in the refrigerator until the gelatin sets, about 2 hours.
5. When ready to serve, remove the oranges from the refrigerator and cut each half into 4 wedges using a sharp knife. If you don't serve immediately, store them in the fridge.

This episode is a replay of S3, E7, with an all new updated intro!

We've got a recipe that's going to help you stretch your grocery dollars AND teach you a new skill or two. Erin's teaching us how to chop up a whole chicken into 11 pieces.
Cutting up.a whole chicken is a skill that saves you money on the price per kilogram that you're paying for meat—by as much as HALF! And by doing the work of breaking down the chicken ourselves, she's showing us how to use the back of a chicken, which normally goes unused, to make a delicious stock that goes further than just this meal! Be sure to check out Erin's video where she demonstrates breaking down the chicken (link below).
Not only will you love the money you're saving, you are going to love the delicious Costa Rican-inspired recipe that has great flavours, transforming leftover chicken into a delicious meal.

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.

In this Three Kitchens Podcast episode, guests from the Calgary Fire Department (CFD) give us all some valuable kitchen fire safety tips and allow us a glimpse into what it's like to cook and eat at the fire station.
Carol Henke, Information Officer for the CFD, is a wealth of knowledge about all things fire safety. Kitchen grease fires are more common than you might think. Do you know how to handle one in your kitchen? Carol walks us through it, provides other safety tips, and her own personal stories of eating at the fire hall.
Then we have a few firefighters tell us their experiences with planning meals, shopping and cooking for a hungry crew. If you've ever wondered who does the cooking, what they're eating, and what happens if firefighters have food on the stove when they get called out to an emergency, be sure to check out this episode. Their stories are a fun and insightful peek into the firehall kitchen.
And finally, we whipped up a sweet treat to thank our guests. We've got a No Bake Nanaimo Bar Cheesecake portioned and delivered in jam jars. It's a fun twist on a classic Canadian dessert. The jam jars make it easy to transport and it looks cute too!

We've been seeing beautiful baked goods made with ube - a purple yam - popping up in our Three Kitchens Podcast Instagram feed. These purple-hued goodies inspired Erin to try making the ube halaya (the purple jam used as the base for ube baking), and using it to make muffins and cookies.
As you might imagine, this sparked a lively discussion, more research, and plenty of confusion. Is what we find in our grocery stores really ube? Or is it a purple yam, or maybe a sweet potato? What we know for certain is that the muffins and cookies Erin baked were as delicious as they were beautiful to look at!
Come along with us down the rabbit hole of conflicting information about the ube trend. But mostly, join us for the delicious purple baked goods! Because at the end of the day, we're here for the food.
