Firstly this morning we have with us Katherine Bucktron from Gramo Danse. We chat about Gramo Danse in general and the new fund crowding project to raise funds for 60 at risk childrean  (The project Danzarea gives scholarships to 60 at-risk children and teenagers in Panama to learn aerial and contemporary dance, and how culture can better their lives. Creativity, discipline, and concentration are encouraged in order to build their self esteem and values, and how to thrive regardless of situations of violence and other risks in their communities.)

Sara Solomon the Feisty Foodie.

In the last hour, as we do on a Tuesday the Feisty Foodie (Sara Solomon) joins us for a chat about food. Today the art of a good soup.

I love making soups for my kids because it’s a great way to get them to eat veggies!

  • It’s souper easy!
  • Use whatever vegetables you have on hand
    • TIP: Make sure you cut them to be around the same size, so they cook evenly
    • Take a shortcut and use a pre-made broth (ideally low sodium)
  • Making broth is easy, just use your veggie scraps!
  • Stocks and broths can be frozen
  • Great tip: stocks can be frozen in ice cube trays and be used for baby food or to make sauces
  • A great risotto starts off with a great broth!
  • Use a hand emersion blender, cuisinart or blender
  • Don’t blend everything too much, always reserve some liquid and some veggies for texture, otherwise it was end up too smooth and eat like baby food
  • Depth of flavour, layers or flavour
  • Texture – of the soup, plus think about garnish! (something crunchy, creamy?, gooey?)
