Episode 7: What Makes Gingerbread a Holiday Staple
Just in time for the winter holidays, we’re talking about the quintessential holiday cookie: gingerbread. First, we take a bite out of the history of gingerbread with Tori Avey (who wrote all about the history of gingerbread). Then, Pay Chen interviews famed pastry chef Anna Olson about the ebb and flow of gingerbread trends, and her professional opinion on the key to the *perfect* recipe. Finally, we end with Regina-based chef Dickie Yuzicapi who owns Sioux Chef Catering and has been putting an Indigenous spin on this traditional holiday cookie for decades.

Episode 6: Does Pineapple Belong on Pizza?
It’s our most controversial episode yet. We ask the experts: is Hawaiian pizza an abomination, or the perfect combination of flavours? We start off at the Satellite Restaurant in Chatham, Ontario, where Sam Panopoulos claims to have invented this classic pizza topping combination. Then, host Pay Chen interviews Chicago-based chef Malika Ameen, author of cookbook “Sweet Sugar, Sultry Spice,” to discuss why sweet-and-salty really is the perfect pairing—even on pizza. Finally, we look at the statistics with Mario Conseco, president of Research Co., who recently studied Canadians and our preferences for controversial foods.

Episode 5: Canada, Home of the Ketchup Chip
Whether or not you have fond memories of licking red-stained fingers as a kid, many consider ketchup chips to be a Canadian classic. But why is the flavour so popular here compared to the rest of the world? We ask Janis Thiessen, history professor and author of Snacks: A Canadian Food History, about where the potato chip comes from. Then, we chat with Kathlyne Ross, VP of Food Product Development & Innovation for President’s Choice, about how well the flavour sells in Loblaw stores across the country—including which province is home to the most ketchup-chip fans. Finally, we hear from international snack expert Monique Bernstein, who tells us the one other country where you can find ketchup chips readily available—and names some of the other interesting chip flavours out there.
