Everyday Gourmet is a cooking show that focuses on creating delicious, fuss-free meals for everyday cooking. In season 1 episode 7, the host, Justine Schofield, takes viewers on a culinary journey of making easy-to-prepare yet mouthwatering dishes that are perfect for any day of the week.
The episode starts with Justine introducing the menu for the day – a variety of dishes that showcase easy techniques and creative combinations of flavors. First up on the menu, she demonstrates how to make a simple yet flavorful prawn curry. The dish takes Justine only a few minutes to prepare, making it a perfect mid-week meal. She goes on to show how different brands and types of curry paste can change the taste of the recipe, and also gives a quick rundown on how to select the best available prawns for the dish.
Moving on to the second dish, Justine teaches how to make a classic eggplant parmesan with a twist. Instead of the traditional breadcrumb crust, Justine uses polenta, which takes the dish to a whole new level. She also emphasizes the importance of prepping the eggplant properly – slicing it thinly and applying a generous amount of salt helps to reduce any bitterness and also makes it less watery. The result is a crispy and cheesy eggplant parmesan that’s perfect for any meat-free meal.
Next on the menu is a mushroom, kale, and goat cheese toasty. Justine uses freshly sliced mushrooms, chopped kale, and crumbles of soft goat cheese to create a mouthwatering combination of flavors. She emphasizes the importance of selecting quality ingredients and shows how just a few simple additions can turn a basic sandwich into a restaurant-quality meal.
Justine then moves on to create a refreshing salad with roasted carrots, quinoa, and feta cheese. The dish comes together beautifully with perfectly roasted carrots, fluffy quinoa, and crumbled feta cheese. The salad is perfect for a light lunch or as a side dish to a more substantial meal.
Lastly, Justine demonstrates how to make a comforting and filling beef casserole. The recipe is perfect for a cold winter day and features juicy chunks of beef, carrots, onions, and potatoes. Justine shows how slow-cooking the beef with the vegetables allows all the flavors to meld together, creating a rich and hearty dish that’s sure to please any meat-lover.
Throughout the episode, Justine delivers cooking tips and tricks, giving viewers a peek into how expert chefs create tasty, high-quality dishes without the need for fancy equipment or expensive ingredients. Her easy-to-follow instructions and approachable manner make it easy for even novice cooks to create restaurant-quality meals at home.
In conclusion, episode seven of Everyday Gourmet offers a delightful collection of easy-to-prepare dishes that are perfect for any day of the week. Whether you’re looking for a quick mid-week meal or a filling and comforting beef casserole, Justine Schofield shares her expertise and shows how delicious meals can be created in a snap.
