Even Chefs Buy This: The Honest Make It or Buy It Guide

On today’s episode Kirstie walks us aisle by aisle through the grocery store to answer one very relatable question: do you make it, or do you buy it? We talk soft sandwiches, spinach dip, pasta sauce, chicken fingers, pierogies, and muffins. And I think you might be surprised which things our chefs recommend you make and which ones they think are better to buy. So join us as we head to the grocery store! Chef tips<ul><li>Roast whole bananas in the oven for five to ten minutes to ripen them fast for baking</li><li>Macerate harsh aromatics like onion and garlic in a little acid to soften their bite before adding them to dips</li><li>Use a thicker batter, fill each cup about three quarters full, and skip every other muffin cup so the tops have room to dome</li><li>Look for the pack date from harvest on the bottom of a good quality can of tomatoes</li><li>Fry breaded items in a little olive oil for a golden finish, then finish in the oven if needed</li></ul> Chef Over Your Shoulder is our podcast about the connections we make through cooking.

Find Your Potluck Signature Dish: From Pasta Salad to Devilled Eggs or a Great Bag of Potato Chips | Cooking Tips, Recipes & Kitchen Inspiration

Today, we are talking about potlucks. And I must confess that I’m the person who signs up for water the second a potluck spreadsheet goes live. Today, Jody and Kirstie are going to help me change that. Our chefs walk me through real life, low stress ideas for what to bring to potlucks, team parties, backyard barbecues, and those last minute “can you bring something to share” invitations. From entry level ideas like simple Caesar pasta salad, or an apple and cheddar cheese platter, all the way up to devilled eggs, and ham and cheese sliders. Along the way, we get into how much to make, what actually travels well, and how to find your own “thing” for a potluck. If you have ever felt intimidated or just too tired to think about what to bring, you are going to finish this episode with a variety of fun and yummy ideas and permission to show up exactly where you are that day, from fancy Chicken Prosciutto Skewers to really good potato chips and a case of water.

Ceviche Before Noon and Mussels After Dark: Seafood Made Simple at Home | Cooking Tips, Recipes & Kitchen Inspiration

Today, we are heading back out to sea because there was no way we could fit all things fish and seafood into one episode. Think of this episode as the sister conversation to our recent fish episode.  For me, seafood has usually been a ‘restaurant meal,’ but as usual, Jody and Kirstie have removed the intimidation factor, and now I’m ready to cook seafood in my own kitchen. Jody and Kirstie share their favourite recipes and tips for scallops, shrimp cocktail, and mussels, and they also share some of their favourite ceviche stories from Mexico and Peru. In this episode, each seafood has a story, and you won’t want to miss a single one. In this episode, you will learn:<ul><li>Why frozen at sea scallops are often a better choice in Ontario, and how to tell when they are perfectly cooked</li><li>How to retire the frozen shrimp ring and make simple, flavourful shrimp cocktail at home</li><li>Practical tips for buying, cleaning, and cooking mussels, and how the sauce more or less makes itself</li><li>Real world ideas for seafood boils, kitchen parties, and feeding a crowd with one big pot</li><li>Travel stories from Peru and Mexico that bring ceviche, leche de tigre, and coastal seafood culture to life</li><li>A quick primer on how acid “cooks” seafood in ceviche, and why freshness matters so much</li><li>Why oysters, mussels, scallops, and shrimp all feel so communal when you share them around a crowded table</li></ul> Chef Over Your Shoulder is our podcast about the connections we make through cooking. Pairing professional Chefs Jody O'Malley and Kirstie Herbstreitand from the Culinary Studio with me, a burn-to-the-bottom-of-the-pan expert, creates the perfect “recipe” to demystify the kitchen and bring back the joy of cooking…without the pressure.
