This is gonna be fun.
Hi, guys!
Welcome to my test kitchen.
Today's deluxe dinner menu
is a twist on classics.
Think old-school eats
with a Kimmy Shimmy!
Classics like shrimp cocktail,
but none of that cocktail sauce.
No, siree!
Apricot ketchup.
Succulent prime rib.
Super simple, my way.
Sous vide.
Meat loves potatoes,
but how about a stand-alone
potato course?
Potato pave.
With the prime rib,
brown butter carrots
and a pea and bacon salad.
Dessert.
A crazy hack
on vanilla ice cream--
with lavender.
Oh! And my favourite.
Bread and butter.
Eight recipes, four courses,
all in One Big Recipe.
Easy to follow, easy to make,
and guaranteed to impress.
Let's get started with this big,
beautiful prime rib roast.
Gorgeous.
See this? See how the roast sits
on the bones?
That's called a cradle.
I often cook my meat on the bone
but not today.
I'm gonna save them for a stock.
And that's it!
So, sous vide.
Literally means "Under vacuum".
I get my roast in the bag.
This is how I make that vacuum.
The water goes up,
the air comes out.
Seal it--
and that's it.
Set the temp on this magic wand
and now the water bath is gonna
stay at the same temperature
for a perfect roast every time.
You really got to get
one of these gizmos.
Okay, when you're cooking
more than one dish,
it's all about the prep.
My One Big Recipe walks you
through every step.
Mise en place.
AKA, everything in its place.
I do a little bit of it now
and I don't have
to worry about it later.
Oregano, rosemary, thyme.
The sound effects
to dropping herbs in the bowl.
Whoop!
Parsley!
So fresh!
Cutting these on an angle,
try and get as little stems
as possible.
This will be the garnish
of my shrimp
and my prime rib roast.
I love growing herbs
in my garden,
because then I know exactly
where I got them from.
And that's it!
The roast is in,
mise en place on the go.
Let's start that potato pave.
Just three ingredients--
spuds, butter,
and salt and pepper.
Okay, four.
First step, butter.
How about some arts and crafts?
Ooh! Just kidding.
Having the right tool makes all
the difference.
Check out these slices.
Super thin.
Makes you look like a wizard.
Okay, butter.
Watch this.
Lots and lots of butter.
Gonna get out on all the sides
so the parchment sticks.
We want lots of extra overhang.
More butter.
Layer after layer of potato.
I love me some spuds.
More butter is never
too much butter.
Season every layer.
You see how this is working?
Just a few more layers
and into the oven.
Okay, now this folds over.
And now into the oven
for a couple of hours.
And when it's done,
a stand-alone potato course
just like I promised.
It wasn't so hard, right?
We've got the beef going,
the potatoes,
we even banged out
some mise en place.
Up next, a smoke break?
Smoked goat butter.
Okay, today's menu is all about
classics with a Kim twist.
Prime rib, shrimp cocktail,
all in one afternoon.
Let's get smoking.
Check out my smoking gun.
Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!
Pew!
And cooking stuff, too.
Like smoked butter.
This is goat butter.
It's a little bit tangier
than regular butter.
It's not quite as complex
as single udder butter.
Definitely not as complex
as double udder butter.
That's a lot of udders
in the butter.
It's a surface area thing
and that surface area thing just
means more smoky infusion.
You know it's a party
when the fire shows up.
Fireside!
This smells so good,
it reminds me of my mother's
famous burnt toast.
The OBR tells me it's time to
boil water for blanching peas.
I love shrimp cocktail.
Grilled not boiled.
And with a spicy
apricot ketchup.
It's easy as one, two, three.
Sour vinegar.
Sweet sugar.
And tart apricots.
A pinch of salt.
And I'll let that simmer.
Time to start the shrimp.
Remember this?
Chopped parsley as part of
our mise en place?
And--
chili flakes.
Because I like it spicy.
Woo!
Big, beautiful beauties!
Really good quality ice cream
that needs to soften up
before it's lavender bliss.
Time to take out the pave.
A paring knife should
pass through easily.
Whoop!
And if it's hot to touch,
then I know it's cooked
all the way through.
This next step is what's gonna
elevate this dish by crushing it
literally!
These weights will--
Compress this dish...
just kidding--
for killer presentation.
Boiling water cooks.
Ice stops and shocks.
Now, it's time for
the truffle and pea salad.
Lardon. Think Italian bacon.
Nobody likes ushy,
mushy peas,
so they take no time at all.
You also know that they're ready
when they rise to the top.
I want to make sure that
they stay green and crunchy.
Now, the OBR tells me
to keep my water boiling
so I can do my carrots next.
These guys are perfect.
Nice and crunchy.
Who doesn't love bacon bits?
Wait until you see what I do
with this bacon fat.
Ooh! The carrots.
Make sure that your carrots are
all the same size.
Woo!
Check it out.
The potato pave is cooling,
the beef is in the bath,
the shrimp cocktail
is almost done
and the peas and carrots
are working.
So, what's next?
My almost homemade
lavender ice cream.
You won't want to miss this.
Okay--
So, my menu today is a twist
on classics.
So far, I have
the chilled shrimp,
my potato pave is done,
and my prime rib is taking
a Jacuzzi.
What's next?
Ice cream!
This is the best
dessert hack ever.
First, you take
vanilla ice cream
and then you take
other yummy things
that you want to put in it
like lavender.
Ah!
Je suis en Provence.
Your guests are gonna go wild
when they try this.
Step one.
Blitz the lavender.
Meet my cousin, Blitz.
Then you blend.
That's it! It's that simple.
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
Now, that's ice cream
with an attitude.
Wild, creamy,
and just a hint of lavender.
I wanted to say perfect.
Because it's perfect.
Your guests are gonna go wild
when they try this.
And then back in the freezer.
Okay, this is room temp,
so it's time to stick it
in the fridge.
Ooh! It's time to get back
to the bread and butter.
Fresh bread from
my favourite bakery.
Nothing smells as good
as fresh bread.
Speaking of which--
my mother had a bakery
and she went on vacation
for the first time in,
I don't know, ten years.
She put me in charge.
Might I say, I was 15 years old.
In the middle of the night,
I get a call.
One baker only spoke French,
the other guy only spoke English
and they were in
a massive fight.
Basically telling me they were
gonna leave--
and not do the production
that night.
So, I ran over and basically
that was
my first ever experience
baking bread
once I calmed them both down.
They stayed and helped me make
some of the worst bread
I've ever done,
but some of the best
they ever did.
Smells like a campfire.
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm.
Okay, let's finish
the apricot ketchup.
The apricots are fully plumped
and soft.
That's how I know it's time
to blend.
But first, apricot jam.
Smells divine.
Hand blender. $20.
Pick one of these up.
This bowl will help it
cool down faster.
It's a surface area thing.
Come on!
I'm mean mmm!
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm!
Don't mind if I do.
Let's get this in the fridge.
I've got a groovy garnish
for my potato pave.
Crème fraiche, tarragon,
and lemon.
Crème fraiche is like sour cream
but only better.
It's so fresh,
it's tarra-going-going gone!
Tarragon has a mild licorice
flavour.
Definitely underused.
Don't you just love the smell
of fresh zested lemon?
So zesty and citrusy.
Always.
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm!
Can't wait.
Mmm!
So, this is done
and it's almost enough
of a garnish
to make my potato pave
a stand-alone dish.
Almost.
Flaky sea salt and maple sugar.
These are gonna be killer
on my carrots.
This is how I grind them.
Voila!
Now, let's take a look
at my prime rib.
Wa!
You can't see it, so you're
gonna have to trust me,
but it's perfectly cooked
medium-rare from end to end.
It's just gonna rest a little
and then sear it off
for a nice crust.
Just wait to see the look on
your guests' faces
when they dig into this!
Now, a crunchy, creamy, sweet,
and salty pea and lardon salad.
With a hint
of white truffle oil.
Shallots.
Shallots are like a garlic
and onion on a date.
Sour cream--
to tie it all together.
Remember these guys?
Italian bacon bits.
Fresh pepper!
Ah!
This is actually my last piece
of Parmigiano-Reggiano
from a trip to Modena
gifted to me from nobody other
than Massimo Bottura.
When I got knighted
like actually.
You know, like the whole like--
baa-baa-baa-baa-baa!
That whole kit and caboodle.
They made me the ambassador,
so I'm ambasciatrice
to the white truffle
and Barolo wines of Alba.
And a little bit
of white truffle oil.
Ah!
It takes me right back
to that day.
Mmm!
Perfecto!
This is done!
Now, it's time to finish
my apricot ketchup.
Horseradish.
This is what makes
my shrimp cocktail a kicktail!
Awesome apricot
with a Kim twist.
And pro-tip--
I took the shrimps
out of the fridge
so they wouldn't be fridge cold.
They need to be cold,
but not too cold,
because then you can't taste
your food
and your tongue goes numb.
Mmm!
It's got a kick and a punch!
It's all coming together
and don't forget,
you can get the whole family
involved.
Cooking is fun.
Especially if you follow
the One Big Recipe.
Knight Kim!
The Knight of the Round Truffle.
I have to stop doing that sound.
It's terrible.
Everything is under control.
When you're cooking
all afternoon,
it is so important to have
a built-in break.
Chill, pick the wines
for dinner,
and make a cocktail.
A classic cocktail
for my classic menu.
Vodka martini, anyone?
Vodka martini.
Vodka, ice, vermouth.
That's it.
Let's it, that's all.
The glass should be so cold
that even a polar bear is like,
"Dude! That's c-c-c-cold!"
That's the most important part.
Vermouth.
Legend has it that the martini
got its name
from a famous kind of vermouth.
I let mine sit there
as long as I can
right until I'm gonna pour
the drink.
So--
Vodka.
You could use gin too,
but vodka is always my go-to.
You want to get this real cold
as well.
All right, all right, all right.
And now--
We shake.
Some like it stirred.
But I like it shaked.
Now, just swizzle them around.
And dump them out.
And then you pick
your favourite garnish.
So, if you do a classic martini,
everybody loves olives.
They can be regular,
the can be blue cheese.
I like to add a little bit
of the, you know,
pickle juice or something.
You can even put some chilies
in there.
Down to the last drop.
Classic martini.
Olives.
If you want to be a secret agent
like me, you do a twist--
of lemon.
And add cocktail onions
and it becomes a Gibson.
Apparently, named after
a teetotalling US ambassador
who didn't drink alcohol,
so he would put his onions
in his martini,
so he could tell it apart
from the rest.
Until everybody started
drinking them
and it became all the rage!
All right, so everybody's got
a martini in hand.
Perfect to start the evening.
Now, what were you thinking
to go with
this big, beautiful feast?
I'm thinking something nice
and light with a bit of spice.
Vouvray!
And now, for the red.
Folks, it's prime rib!
This here deserves
something big.
Maple and brown butter,
pea and lardon,
truffle and Parmigiano.
Come on!
Amarone.
And this will not break
the bank, so get two!
So, everyone has
a martini in hand,
the tunes are great,
and the smells are wafting in
from the kitchen.
You're chill.
Can you imagine the look on
everybody's face
when they see this feast?
Cooking is fun!
Especially, when you follow
the One Big Recipe.
What do you say next we plate up
the bread and butter?
Huh?
Let's roll.
Okay, so picture this.
The guests are in
the other room,
laughing, drinking, enjoying.
It's showtime!
Today's menu is a twist
on classics
and what's more classic
than bread and butter?
For my bread today,
I have a sweet bonus.
Honey.
I dare you to find something
that smells better
than warm honey.
And bonus--
it helps the herbs stick to
the bread.
Remember these?
Everything in its place.
Mise en place.
With a Kim twist.
Presentation is everything.
And for my smoked goat butter,
black sea salt.
Mmm! Heavenly!
It brings me right back to
my Grandmother Mimi's
freshly baked challah bread
slathered with honey
on a Saturday morning.
But with these herbs
and this smoked goat butter--
Next level.
So, that's for the middle of
the table and it's done.
Now, for my shrimp cocktail.
This plate surprises
with all the three T's.
Taste, apricot ketchup.
That's new.
Now, get your artist on.
Temperature.
These grilled
and chilled shrimps
look like their hot,
but they're not.
And if you want to get real
chefy about it,
make it stand on the plate
nicely.
Just cut off a little bit
of the bottom.
And now, texture.
Microgreens are a great way
to add crunch
and they're just so cute.
Beautiful.
Mmm! Mmm!
Now, sit down and enjoy
and watch the look
on your guests' faces
when they take their first bite.
Okay, everybody's glass is full.
Somebody's picking up the plates
and the shrimp cocktail
was a hit!
Now, it's time
for my potato pave.
Ah!
I don't know which side
I like better.
The bottom or the top.
Beautiful!
This will make a perfect hash
for my breakfast
tomorrow morning.
Now, what's better than crispy
golden brown fried potatoes?
Watch this.
Bright, tart, lemon tarragon
crème fraiche.
And one final coup de gras.
Salmon roe.
Voila!
Mmm!
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm!
Crispy, buttery.
I can taste every layer.
The tarragon crème fraiche
reminds me of potato with latkes
at my Grandmother Mimi's house.
Now, you serve this spud
and you've got about 20 minutes
to relax and chill.
You've got it all worked out.
It's time for prime rib.
Okay, four courses,
six recipes,
all in one afternoon.
All in One Big Recipe.
Today, a twist on classics.
So far, chilled and grilled
shrimp with apricot ketchup
and potato pave
with tarragon cream and caviar.
It's been a hit.
Now, it's time--
for prime rib!
The main event.
This is brown butter
for my carrots.
The slow heat caramelizes
the milk solids
and creates a nutty aroma.
Sous vide cooking is not
just simple,
it's temperature control
from beginning to end
for a perfect roast every time.
Bacon fat for extra flavour.
Woo!
It's not just how it tastes,
it's also how it feels
in your mouth.
A crispy, seared crust.
Time for a quick pan sauce.
The brown bits add extra flavour
and the red wine intensifies
and deglazes.
Veal demi-glace.
I picked this up at my butcher.
Most butchers have it,
so get it when you get
your roast.
I want this to reduce by half.
Back to my carrots.
Whoa!
I pre-blanched my carrots,
so now I just have to
warm them through.
Cold butter.
The secret to any pan sauce.
Three ingredients
in three minutes.
Parsley at the end
so it stays nice and green.
So, my roast is resting,
my pan sauce is done,
and my carrots are nice
and glazy.
Now, it's time to slice
and serve that prime rib.
Whoop!
Prime rib, pan-glazed carrots,
and now it's time for
the truffle and pea salad.
Ah!
There's nothing like the smell
of white truffle oil.
Food brings people together.
It's a universal language.
It's all about enjoyment.
A little taste for me.
Mmm-mmm-mmm!
And I promised you blush pink
from end to end.
Everyone will go wild
when this hits the table.
Three courses down
and one smile to go.
Lavender ice cream.
Okay, so it's been about
half an hour.
They think they've seen it all,
but uh-uh.
There's still one more surprise.
A sweet ending.
I bought this from
a local bakery that I love.
I hope you see how easy this is
and you're gonna try it.
Mmm!
Lavender ice cream--
with a micro basil garnish?
What's that?
Trust me.
It's a new classic.
Lavender ice cream.
If you have not, you have to.
Mmm!
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
The lavender is so wild,
it takes it to
a whole new level.
Now, get that to the table.
Et voila!
A feast for six in one afternoon
and how easy was that?
Anybody can order takeout,
but this?
This is love, guys.
Follow the One Big Recipe
and anyone can do it.
I promise.
and this is my test kitchen!

sumptuous dishes,

You can't see it, so you're
gonna have to trust me,
but it's perfectly cooked
medium-rare from end to end.
It's just gonna rest a little
and then sear it off
for a nice crust.
Just wait to see the look on
your guests' faces
when they dig into this!
Now, a crunchy, creamy, sweet,
and salty pea and lardon salad.
With a hint
of white truffle oil.
Shallots.
Shallots are like a garlic
and onion on a date.
Sour cream--
to tie it all together.
Remember these guys?
Italian bacon bits.
Fresh pepper!
Ah!
This is actually my last piece
of Parmigiano-Reggiano
from a trip to Modena
gifted to me from nobody other
than Massimo Bottura.
When I got knighted
like actually.
You know, like the whole like--
baa-baa-baa-baa-baa!
That whole kit and caboodle.
They made me the ambassador,
so I'm ambasciatrice
to the white truffle
and Barolo wines of Alba.
And a little bit
of white truffle oil.
Ah!
It takes me right back
to that day.
Mmm!
Perfecto!
This is done!
Now, it's time to finish
my apricot ketchup.
Horseradish.
This is what makes
my shrimp cocktail a kicktail!
Awesome apricot
with a Kim twist.
And pro-tip--
I took the shrimps
out of the fridge
so they wouldn't be fridge cold.
They need to be cold,
but not too cold,
because then you can't taste
your food
and your tongue goes numb.
Mmm!
It's got a kick and a punch!
It's all coming together
and don't forget,
you can get the whole family
involved.
Cooking is fun.
Especially if you follow
the One Big Recipe.
Knight Kim!
The Knight of the Round Truffle.
I have to stop doing that sound.
It's terrible.
Everything is under control.
When you're cooking
all afternoon,
it is so important to have
a built-in break.
Chill, pick the wines
for dinner,
and make a cocktail.
A classic cocktail
for my classic menu.
Vodka martini, anyone?
Vodka martini.
Vodka, ice, vermouth.
That's it.
Let's it, that's all.
The glass should be so cold
that even a polar bear is like,
"Dude! That's c-c-c-cold!"
That's the most important part.
Vermouth.
Legend has it that the martini
got its name
from a famous kind of vermouth.
I let mine sit there
as long as I can
right until I'm gonna pour
the drink.
So--
Vodka.
You could use gin too,
but vodka is always my go-to.
You want to get this real cold
as well.
All right, all right, all right.
And now--
We shake.
Some like it stirred.
But I like it shaked.
Now, just swizzle them around.
And dump them out.
And then you pick
your favourite garnish.
So, if you do a classic martini,
everybody loves olives.
They can be regular,
the can be blue cheese.
I like to add a little bit
of the, you know,
pickle juice or something.
You can even put some chilies
in there.
Down to the last drop.
Classic martini.
Olives.
If you want to be a secret agent
like me, you do a twist--
of lemon.
And add cocktail onions
and it becomes a Gibson.
Apparently, named after
a teetotalling US ambassador
who didn't drink alcohol,
so he would put his onions
in his martini,
so he could tell it apart
from the rest.
Until everybody started
drinking them
and it became all the rage!
All right, so everybody's got
a martini in hand.
Perfect to start the evening.
Now, what were you thinking
to go with
this big, beautiful feast?
I'm thinking something nice
and light with a bit of spice.
Vouvray!
And now, for the red.
Folks, it's prime rib!
This here deserves
something big.
Maple and brown butter,
pea and lardon,
truffle and Parmigiano.
Come on!
Amarone.
And this will not break
the bank, so get two!
So, everyone has
a martini in hand,
the tunes are great,
and the smells are wafting in
from the kitchen.
You're chill.
Can you imagine the look on
everybody's face
when they see this feast?
Cooking is fun!
Especially, when you follow
the One Big Recipe.
What do you say next we plate up
the bread and butter?
Huh?
Let's roll.
Okay, so picture this.
The guests are in
the other room,
laughing, drinking, enjoying.
It's showtime!
Today's menu is a twist
on classics
and what's more classic
than bread and butter?
For my bread today,
I have a sweet bonus.
Honey.
I dare you to find something
that smells better
than warm honey.
And bonus--
it helps the herbs stick to
the bread.
Remember these?
Everything in its place.
Mise en place.
With a Kim twist.
Presentation is everything.
And for my smoked goat butter,
black sea salt.
Mmm! Heavenly!
It brings me right back to
my Grandmother Mimi's
freshly baked challah bread
slathered with honey
on a Saturday morning.
But with these herbs
and this smoked goat butter--
Next level.
So, that's for the middle of
the table and it's done.
Now, for my shrimp cocktail.
This plate surprises
with all the three T's.
Taste, apricot ketchup.
That's new.
Now, get your artist on.
Temperature.
These grilled
and chilled shrimps
look like their hot,
but they're not.
And if you want to get real
chefy about it,
make it stand on the plate
nicely.
Just cut off a little bit
of the bottom.
And now, texture.
Microgreens are a great way
to add crunch
and they're just so cute.
Beautiful.
Mmm! Mmm!
Now, sit down and enjoy
and watch the look
on your guests' faces
when they take their first bite.
Okay, everybody's glass is full.
Somebody's picking up the plates
and the shrimp cocktail
was a hit!
Now, it's time
for my potato pave.
Ah!
I don't know which side
I like better.
The bottom or the top.
Beautiful!
This will make a perfect hash
for my breakfast
tomorrow morning.
Now, what's better than crispy
golden brown fried potatoes?
Watch this.
Bright, tart, lemon tarragon
crème fraiche.
And one final coup de gras.
Salmon roe.
Voila!
Mmm!
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm!
Crispy, buttery.
I can taste every layer.
The tarragon crème fraiche
reminds me of potato with latkes
at my Grandmother Mimi's house.
Now, you serve this spud
and you've got about 20 minutes
to relax and chill.
You've got it all worked out.
It's time for prime rib.
Okay, four courses,
six recipes,
all in one afternoon.
All in One Big Recipe.
Today, a twist on classics.
So far, chilled and grilled
shrimp with apricot ketchup
and potato pave
with tarragon cream and caviar.
It's been a hit.
Now, it's time--
for prime rib!
The main event.
This is brown butter
for my carrots.
The slow heat caramelizes
the milk solids
and creates a nutty aroma.
Sous vide cooking is not
just simple,
it's temperature control
from beginning to end
for a perfect roast every time.
Bacon fat for extra flavour.
Woo!
It's not just how it tastes,
it's also how it feels
in your mouth.
A crispy, seared crust.
Time for a quick pan sauce.
The brown bits add extra flavour
and the red wine intensifies
and deglazes.
Veal demi-glace.
I picked this up at my butcher.
Most butchers have it,
so get it when you get
your roast.
I want this to reduce by half.
Back to my carrots.
Whoa!
I pre-blanched my carrots,
so now I just have to
warm them through.
Cold butter.
The secret to any pan sauce.
Three ingredients
in three minutes.
Parsley at the end
so it stays nice and green.
So, my roast is resting,
my pan sauce is done,
and my carrots are nice
and glazy.
Now, it's time to slice
and serve that prime rib.
Whoop!
Prime rib, pan-glazed carrots,
and now it's time for
the truffle and pea salad.
Ah!
There's nothing like the smell
of white truffle oil.
Food brings people together.
It's a universal language.
It's all about enjoyment.
A little taste for me.
Mmm-mmm-mmm!
And I promised you blush pink
from end to end.
Everyone will go wild
when this hits the table.
Three courses down
and one smile to go.
Lavender ice cream.
Okay, so it's been about
half an hour.
They think they've seen it all,
but uh-uh.
There's still one more surprise.
A sweet ending.
I bought this from
a local bakery that I love.
I hope you see how easy this is
and you're gonna try it.
Mmm!
Lavender ice cream--
with a micro basil garnish?
What's that?
Trust me.
It's a new classic.
Lavender ice cream.
If you have not, you have to.
Mmm!
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
The lavender is so wild,
it takes it to
a whole new level.
Now, get that to the table.
Et voila!
A feast for six in one afternoon
and how easy was that?
Anybody can order takeout,
but this?
This is love, guys.
Follow the One Big Recipe
and anyone can do it.
I promise.
