Send us Fan Mail This week on Three Kitchens Podcast, we're using up those fresh vegetables in a cool and refreshing Gazpacho. It may be fall now, but we see no reason why Gazpacho should only be a summer thing.  Gazpacho  is a cold soup or drink made of raw, blended vegetables. It's widely enjoyed in Spain and Portugal as an appetizer or to accompany the main meal. Heather made hers wit...

Send us Fan Mail To kick off our third season of Three Kitchens Podcast, we're talking with special guests, local Alberta shepherds, Ryan and Janna Greir of Whispering Cedars Ranch.

Send us Fan Mail Heather had the idea for this Three Kitchens episode to make campfire s'mores from scratch. Unfortunately, this one didn't turn out quite as she planned.

Send us Fan Mail This Three Kitchens Podcast episode is all about making Mexican enchiladas, and the most important aspect of this dish - the enchilada sauce.

Heather takes us through all the recipes she made in order to create...

A large batch of lefse could be dried and stored...

We'll take Sarah's co...
