Anna and Kristina are going through many firsts. This week will be the first time that they will evaluate not a hard copy recipe source, but rather an online source, namely the app "20 minute meals" by Jamie Oliver. The app has recipes with associated shopping lists, and instructional videos of the recipe preparation. Oliver purports that each recipe can be completed within a 20 minute time frame. To test the credibility of that claim, their guest taster will come at the start of their meal preparation - another first - so that he can taste each dish immediately at its completion as it was meant to be tasted. He is Scott Jaeger, the executive chef and owner of the famed Pear Tree Restaurant in Burnaby. Jaeger once led Canada's team in the international culinary competition, the Bocuse d'Or. Beyond the taste of the final dishes, Jaeger will also judge the timing of the meal as, as a guest, he will not want to wait for his meal to be served. Anna and Kristina are preparing two dishes apiece: Anna making grilled halloumi with tabbouleh salad, and favorite fried chicken; and Kristina making mussels in white wine and cream, and cheesy zucchini and mint risotto. They will collaborate on the dessert, banoffee banana split. In addition, they test different makes of kitchen shears. And they discuss the uses of different types of dairy cream.
