SBS TV Thursday nights (Sydney) great food shows

[achookwoman]

GF,  you have made Thursday night my fav. TV night.  What a great show last night.    Mathew Evans is going down a similar path to Rodney Dunn who runs the Agrarian Kitchen in Tassie.   Rodney bought a TMX last year to use in his Cooking school.   We will have to get Mathew to consider one.
I love the way Yotam plates up his food.   Think I might make that beautiful tomato salad for visitors over Easter.

Chookie - I'm so glad you've been enjoying the shows.  I just received word from JB Hi Fi today that my set of The Mediterranean Feast DVDs are on their way!!  

I'll be watching the first two - I may give the Kitchen Wars a brief glance - I've got to say I'm not a fan at all of these kinds of shows - but having said that . . . now you watch it reel me in . .

Toniight's programs are:

7:30  Food Safari
Polish - Maeve O’Meara explores the delicious world of Polish food as chef Judyta Slupnicki introduces her to the essentials - from smallgoods, to horseradish and pickled gherkins.

Maeve then goes behind the scenes with baker Andrew Lipiszco, who shows her how to make classic Polish rye sourdough bread.

Potato pancakes are carbohydrate heaven and Ela Chylewska demonstrates how she makes her ‘placki’ with fresh mushrooms, while master baker Ryszard Janczewski shares his recipe for an unbeatable cheesecake.

8:00 Gourmet Farmer    (This replaces the Mediterranean Feast series which finished last week.)
Festivale - Matthew Evans has been planning to build a commercial kitchen but the cost is prohibitive.

His friend Ross tells him about a caravan fitted out with a commercial kitchen that is for sale on Bruny Island.

The mobile kitchen would also be great for Matthew’s other venture; making and selling foods in markets and festivals around Tasmania.

Festivale, Tasmania’s biggest food fair, is looming and the caravan would be perfect.



8:35 Marco Pierre White's Kitchen Wars Series
Michelin-starred chef Marco Pierre White is on the hunt for the couple who create Britain’s best dining experience.

All the couples will have to prove they can cook well and serve with style.

Marco hits the road in his Battle Truck - a specially designed mobile kitchen where the couples will have 30 minutes to cook and serve their tastiest dish.

The teams are fighting for a place in the final 12, where they will go head to head in a unique eating environment - the Battle Kitchen.

GF, Judyta Slupnicki is the owner & Head Chef of Phore Seasons Restaurant in Semaphore in SA, not far from me or Katie.  I went there for a TMX Polish cooking class some time back now so I must watch this show tonight.

[goldfish]

Judy... I would have loved to have been at that class!!! What a great idea to have classes like this... with international themes.

[judydawn]

It was the best one I'd been to GF and over in the corner they had a tableful of wines to accompany all the food which was served at the end of class.  Some samples came around as they were made but most was kept for the supper table. 

[goldfish]

Judy, who organised the class? Was it a n HO affair?

[judydawn]

Yes it was a TMX class, I think it was only $40 and we all had a calendar given to us as well as all this lovely food and wine.

[goldfish]

Wow! That's the way to do it!!! ( was looking to see if there was a Tmx in the kitchen... Didn't see one... But that doesn't mean anything . )

[judydawn]

She loves her TMX GF, definitely has one that I know of.

[goldfish]

That beetroot soup looked just amazing!!! I've taped the program and ill go back and see if I can work out some kind of recipe. Will check later up see if its on the sbs website..

[cookie1]

My MIL made the best Beetroot soup or Borscht. It took me a few years to be brave enough to try it but I now attempt to make it myself. She was originally from the Ukraine.

[achookwoman]

GF,  I enjoyed the programme again tonight,  although I didn't watch the kitchen wars.  Like you,  not my kind of show. 

[judydawn]

I turned the TV on at 7.30 to watch Food Safari and Gourmet Farmer was on - forgot about the half hour difference in our States 
That was the one I wanted to watch too.

Chookie - I watched just a couple of minutes of Kitchen Wars and turned it off . .  . .I won't be watching it again at all. . .  Food made with love??  The title says it all . . .

[judydawn]
