SBS TV Thursday nights (Sydney) great food shows

[cookie1]

I started watching Kitchen Wars too and did the same. I like learning about food, not people carrying on like pork chops.

Just a reminder - just keep in mind that these are SYDNEY times . .!


Tonight:
Food Safari - 7:30pm
Afghan - Maeve O’Meara explores the fascinating food of Afghanistan where the guest is seen as king and beautiful feasts are prepared using age-old recipes.

Maeve joins Kabul-born food lover Ryla Smith, who shows her the many ingredients and spices used in the cuisine, while Melbourne-based Shekib Shaker reveals how tea is taken in his homeland.

Farida Ayubi shows her how to make a delicious korma - perfect with Afghan bread, while Haseeb Miazad makes a great version of the iconic rice dish, kabuli pulao.


Gourmet Farmer  8:00 p.m.
Smoker - Inspired by his recent trip to France, Matthew Evans decides to add a couple of geese to his menagerie.

While picking the geese up from a local farmer, he is distracted by a home-built cold smoker.

One of Matthew’s visions for the new farm is to experiment with various food processes, and now, inspired by the cold smoker, he wants to test out new cured products then smoke them.

Kitchen Wars with Marco Pierre White  8:30 pm

We often hot smoke fish when we are away. Once DH set fire to the barbecue under the smoker. It was hilarious.

Enjoyed Matthew again as ,  in the past I have done a lot of smoking,  but hot smoking.  Not quite like Cookie's DH.  .  Dried Apple wood is the very best.   Must do some more.

Just the usual reminder of the shows on SBS tonight . . if you miss anything don't forget SBS ondemand . .   Home alone tonight in front of the TV - pizza! since I still have the little black oven still on the bench from last night . . .

7:30 pm (Sydney time)  FOOD SAFARI

Danish - This week Maeve O’Meara explores the world of Danish food, a cuisine crafted for the cold - some dishes dating back to the days of the Vikings, others like the open sandwich smørrebrød are modern and elegant.

Maeve joins Danish chef Bente Grysbaeck who introduces her to many classic Danish flavours - from herrings to capers, rich Danish butter to some of the pickles and vegetables loved by the Danes.

Bakery owner Michael Klausen shares his treasured family recipe for rye bread and then shows some of the classic toppings for smørrebrød.

8:00 pm (Sydney time)  GOURMET FARMER

Shop Special: Cheese, Saffron, Sloe Gin - Matthew and Nick’s new shop venture, A Common Ground, provides many challenges; meeting demand with a variable supply of seasonal local produce, maintaining commitment to ethically grown and prepared food whilst managing the bottom line.

The shop is not in the ideal location and a couple of new ideas are needed to increase sales and foot traffic through the doors.

They decide selling and shipping seasonal food hampers, along with diverse advertising, might just bolster profits.

8:30 pm Kitchen Wars

Marco presents the first semi-final, throwing down the culinary gauntlet to three couples from Exmouth, Goring-on-Thames and Liverpool.

They have to cook a three-course meal and serve it to 25 diners against the clock - but they need to be careful as they are given only enough ingredients to make the required number of portions.

One slip-up and they will not be able to replace the dish in question.

I'm looking forward to tonight's shows. You are kind to give us the information GF. Thank you.

That Bruny Island cheese make is a real master craftsman.
