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.

Heather welcomes her sisters, Diane Roberts and Gina Thomsen, as her co-hosts on this episode!

Heather's plan for an "easy" cabbage roll recipe took a couple of wrong turns and then a nose dive - first with Gina's admission that she can't easily digest cabbage (uh-oh, queue a substitution and hope for the best), and then when the recipe itself actually wasn't "easy" as advertised (Heather remembers too late that she should read ahead and think it through). Oh, and then the final result didn't pass with flying colours, either. Add into this a few picky family members and audio issues recording long-distance. *sigh*

But, as usual, we still manage to have fun and in the end, we have a good cabbage roll casserole  slow cooker recipe for you! Diane shared this one with us, and it is honestly easy and sure to please (as long as you like cabbage!).

This week, we're trying the drink that Tom Hanks stumbled upon quite accidentally and named Diet Cokagne.

As the story goes, Tom Hanks agreed to have a bit of Champagne in his Diet Coke glass  and was pleasantly surprised with the concoction. Diet Coke and Champagne sounds like an unlikely combination, but we happen to agree with Tom. It's surprisingly good. We hope you like it, too.

Cheers, friends!

This week on Three Kitchens Podcast, Heather tries out a couple of different desserts in the Instant Pot pressure cooker: a Chinese New Year Cake, and a French Clafoutis custard tart.

Let's start with the Chinese New Years Cake, or Nian Gao. It is a sweet glutinous sticky rice cake that is enjoyed year round, but often is a must-have during Chinese New Year, as the name means to give progress or advancement, promising a better year ahead. The base of this cake is glutinous rice flour, sugar and starch. It is served sliced as is, or the slices may be fried, or even dipped in egg and then fried.

A Clafoutis is a classic French dessert of fruit (raspberries in our case) covered in a layer of thick custard and baked. Or you can make it in the pressure cooker as Heather did.  Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Both of these recipes were new to us, and reviews were a little mixed. We'd love to know what you think! Let us know - you can leave a comment on the recipe on our blog.

If you listened to our last regular episode (Valentine's cocktails with guest, Natalie Migliarini from Beautiful Booze), you'll have heard about this drink. It's the Old Fashioned Valentine. It's rich and boozy and pairs perfectly with a salted chocolate truffle. We enjoyed it so much, we wanted to mix one up for Sarah. 

You cannot go wrong serving up one of these for your special someone on Valentine's Day. But if you ask us, it hits the spot just about any day of the year.

Thanks to Natalie Migliarini for sharing this recipe with us! Please check out her Instagram account @beautifulbooze for recipes and inspiration for your next drink (link below!).

This week on Three Kitchens Podcast's bonus Speakeasy episode, Sarah's on a joyful journey of trying new things.

The Ouzo in this drink is not her favourite (or Heather's either) but they're both willing to give it a try. 

Its bright and refreshing and if you've got a love for fennel, anise and everything licorice, this drink is a must to add to your summer patio (when that season swings around again).

On Three Kitchens Podcast this week, Erin goes down memory lane to when she and her family spent time in Argentina. While there, they discovered a delightful little sandwich cookie called alfajor.

Alfajores are melt-in-your-mouth shortbread-like cookies typically made with dulche de leche filling. They're sometimes rolled in coconut or covered in a dry meringue. Erin also filled some of hers with nutella. We loved them all, especially with the meringue coating.

You guessed it! This week you'll learn all about how to make alfajores with a variety of fillings and a simple method for coating them in meringue. Nobody will guess these are actually not very difficult to make. If you can roll and cut out cookies, you can make alfajores and impress everyone you deem worthy of receiving one.  That is, if you can stand to part with them. You might just want to keep them all to yourself and we wouldn't blame you one little bit.

This week's Speakeasy episode was the last recording session on a fun New Year's Eve and, well, it shows. We drink an Irish Redhead cocktail made with bourbon, grenadine, lemon and lime juices, and soda. It's a brightly-coloured, sweeter bourbon drink and we quite enjoyed it.

Conversation goes far off topic, as usual. For example, did you know Mark Twain was quoted as saying he thought red-haired people descended from cats? We also trade insults about each other's singing (don't worry, there is no actual singing in the episode).

But we always have fun on Speakeasy, and if you're choosing to listen to us stumble  down various random tangents, we appreciate it. Seriously, thank you.

In this Three Kitchens Podcast episode, we chat with Katharine MacPhail, architect and host of the podcast, Talking Home Renovations with the House Maven.

We chat about our home kitchens - what we like and what we don't like, and what we'd choose if we had all the space and money in the world to build a dream kitchen. We picked Katharine's brain about kitchen trends she sees in her work, and she also tells us about her own current home renovation project. 

This recording was part of a longer conversation from which Katharine edited her own version for her podcast. Be sure to check out that episode on Talking Home Renovations with the House Maven (episode #137).
 
Thanks, Katharine! We can't wait to see your new renovated kitchen.
