Episode 1 – Introducing Natalia
The colourful Natalia Machado kicks off the exciting new culinary series, One World Kitchen, with incredible
mouth-watering dishes from her home country of Argentina. With a glimmering bottle wall as a stunning
backdrop, she starts things off by showing us how to make a rich duck carpaccio accompanied with a zesty
lemon curd and marinated red onions. Then, we see her cook pork tenderloin – chapa style! Wonderfully
charred over an open flame, it has an orange confit glaze and is paired with a wonderfully balanced
pomegranate salsa. Finally, a great meal deserves a great dessert—she finishes off by making the classic deep
fried pastry from Argentina—churros.
Episode 2 – Introducing Pailin
In her premiere episode of One World Kitchen, delightfully energetic Pailin Chongchitnant introduces us to
some of her favourite and simple to make Thai dishes. Set in the bright and modern OWK cooking studio,
she makes a Thai classic—hot and sour soup. Made with chicken stock, jalapeno and lemongrass, she shows
us how this soup is quickly made with surprisingly common ingredients. Next, she creates her our own curry
paste while making a decadent beef panang curry. Peanuts and coconut milk make this dish extra-creamy and
palm sugar gives it just the right hint of sweetness. Other dishes featured include deep fried shrimp in a tart
tamarind sauce and two different kinds of stir frys—all dazzling, and all easy!
Episode 3 – Introducing Hana
Meet the lovely and effervescent Hana Etsuko Dethlefsen. She’s been making Japanese food her whole life,
and showcases it beautifully in her first episode of One World Kitchen. She introduces us to the cuisine’s
most important culinary philosophy: Respect the ingredient. That is, use quality ingredients and do as little as
possible to them to let them shine. In OWK’s chic cooking studio, Hana also shows us how to make two of the
most popular Japanese foods at home: sushi and tempura. The tempura is light and airy; and you’ll be amazed
at how fun (and easy!) it is to make hand rolled sushi.
Episode 4 – Introducing Vijaya
Introducing Vijaya Selvaraju, One World Kitchen’s young and cheerful expert in Indian cuisine. Her goal is
to show Canadians that Indian dishes can easily be incorporated into everyday meals. Against the glittering
backdrop of a glass bottle wall, she starts off by making the simple rice pilaf dish: Peas Pulao. Infused with
Indian flavours such as cumin, cardamom, and clove, this dish comes together quickly and beautifully. Next up,
Vijaya knocks us out with her remarkably easy Onion Pakoras with homemade Mint Chutney. Chicken Xacuti, a
chicken dish flavoured with toasted coconut and a symphony of spices, is her rich and hearty main course. She
finishes off by making Pineapple Kesari, an elegant dessert made with milk, semolina, nuts, and raisins, scented
with the classic Indian spices of saffron and cardamom.
Episode 5 – Introducing Vanessa
Vanessa Gianfrancesco is our talented and endearing Italian chef on One World Kitchen. In her début episode,
she makes a traditional Italian four-course meal in her colourful culinary studio. For the antipasto, she makes
Tarali—a fennel scented dough rolled into bite size pieces and baked to a golden brown. For her primi
course—a flavourful Tuscan bean soup with kale, Italian sausage, cannellini beans and, of course, parmigiano
reggiano. A marinated grilled chicken with roasted potatoes is on the menu for her secondi course, and the
dish sings with lemon, rosemary and a sweet hint of creamy garlic. To finish: the dolce (something sweet)!
Vanessa shows us how to make the creamiest of frozen custards, a chocolate semi-freddo. Fluffy yet dense
with a hint of hazelnut, it is the perfect way to end this beautiful Italian meal.
