Self-professed carnivore Anna, in preparation for her and Kristina testing the cookbook "Vegetarian Meals" by Good Housekeeping, went meatless for a week in the lead up to the big meal. Going meatless was not as big an issue for Kristina. They will be preparing six dishes: sweet potato stew, lo mein with tofu, carrots & snow peas, leek & goat cheese quiche, microwave carrot risotto, tofu 'egg' salad, and nacho casserole. Regardless of their carnivorous status, Anna and Kristina are skeptical if they will like the recipes - based most specifically on the over-use of prepared food products and under-use of added flavorings - let alone impress their guest. Their executive chef guest taster is Yves Potvin, a French chef renowned for making soy based protein products. The meal could be even worse than Anna and Kristina envisioned because of something outside of their control. In addition, they product test various produce cleaner fluids against washing with a vinegar/water solution and washing with plain water. And they taste test different brands of goat cheese.
