Reunited with fellow ambassadors from the voluntary global foundation Food Revolution which I was a proud member of for four years- check here for more. This time around, our much smaller motivated group came together to create a Global Kitchen Community comprising of chefs, nutritionists, and real food & health enthusiasts on a mission to help our local communities get affordable, accessible, delicious and family-friendly meals on their tables 🥘🍲🥣🥗.

We dish out recipe challenges to inspire cooking together, sharing and drawing on each other's specialties and strengths to adapt our collective resources to our community outreach goals 💟.

Global Connection.
Local Execution.
Food For Everyone!

Thank you Chef Damien from the Netherlands who has been tirelessly working to feed the homeless for bringing us together again 🥰. 

Our first group challenge: better burger!

I got the idea of a messy beef burger thinking back of salisbury steaks in mushrooms gravy I made months ago that easily goes from skillet to a bun (for a saucy Salisbury Steak Burger) and serve with your favourite toppings. The sad fact is that I haven't a chance to make it again in burger form with my head and heart entrenched in my recent home things. Alas, my home sold but I am past the July end submission deadline. In exchange of lateness, I will share our talented group's burger efforts. Be prepared to have your taste buds transported below. I chose the best on-line photo with credit to showcase my idea.

To meet the participation criteria, I have simplified my recent Savoury Mushroom Salisbury Steaks post to make it more affordable with less ingredients priced accordingly to my local lower-end grocery store. The key to the savoury flavour boost is a part pkg. of onion soup mix in the burger and gravy.

Savoury Mushroom Salisbury Steaks

For 6, priced per portion at $2.33 Cdn or 1.48 euros

Savoury Mushroom Salisbury Steak Burgers

Makes 6 Patties

For the patties:

1-1/2 lb. lean ground beef

1 egg

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped

1/4 package (40 g) of onion soup mix

Salt and ground black pepper

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

For the sauce:

1 lb. mushroom, sliced

1 package of gravy mix powder or a can of prepared gravy, brown or mushroom flavour

1 Tbsp. onion soup mix

Add in to taste: Dijon mustard and/or ketchup

Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in medium hot fry pan or skillet and cook meat patties four minutes each side or until nicely brown. Remove patties aside. Drain excess oil. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms for a few minutes then stir in gravy powder (add water according to pkg. instructions) or prepared gravy and stir. Add 1 Tbsp. onion soup mix and ketchup and Dijon mustard if desired to preferred taste.

Add beef patties to the skillet and continue to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes spooning sauce over meat patties occasionally. Serve salisbury steak and mushroom gravy on a burger or kaiser bun with your fave toppings.

Here is a handful of our group's burger submissions that is surecto whet appetites!

From top left clockwise: Chef Damien's hearty Santorini Adani Burger is dressed with creamy feta yogurt and topped with roasted red peppers, black olives and dill inspired by his favourite travel destination Greece and love of Greek Food.

Lindsey Shifley from Illinois, U.S. created this burger with her special sauce, gruyere cheese garnished with beautiful purple basil.

Special Sauce:
2 Tbsp Mayo
1.5 tsp mustard 
1.5 tsp ketchup
1 tsp basil paste 
1 tsp garlic paste
1 tsp banana pepper juice
Salt & pepper to taste

Thomas Stahlmann from Germany created his Balkan burger with layers and layers of flavour. From his seasoned meat patties to marinated salad mix, crunchy coleslaw and kajmac-creme and luti sauce (spicy chili sauce with onion cubes).

Lara Butteriss from London showcases her Hamburger di Nonna inspired by her grandma's meatball recipe with a twist- adding boiled potato to the meat mixture and topping with rocket and Dolcelatte cheese on a brioche bun.

Jaroslav Guzanic in Miami, US created his Parmigiana-Style burger inspired by the fond summer memories of his trips to Italy. Oregano and rosemary spices grace his burgers along with olive tapenade, homemade marinara sauce, eggplant, cheese and fresh basil pesto.

In addition, a big deal actually... Chef Damien has been working hard to create and has finished his Magnificent Mince cookbook with 120 fully tested 'simple' recipes (with ground meats), all costed using Aldi/ LidL catalogue (a popular economical grocery store in Europe and US) with minimal equipment needed.

The goal of the book is very much in line with the mission of our Global Kitchen Community 'To empower people to eat better' with fully costed, simple recipes, with ingredients from a budget supermarket and the book is absolutely free and open sourced. Grab the fabulous pdf e-cookbook on DamienChef.com.

A great example of his affordable delish creation is Moroccan Meatball Shakshouka.

Food Revolution Toronto October Contest-- Soups!

Resharing from Food Revolution Toronto:

This month's Food Revolution Toronto contest, share a photo of your SOUP with our team on social media and you will be eligible to win a Jamie Oliver cookbook courtesy of HarperCollins Canada! We are featurng Jamie Oliver's Super Squash Soup with the best Parmesan croutons for inspiration “A totally delicious spiced squash soup, served with mega cheese on toast for dunking.”- Jamie.

Here are some of my own inspirations with our orange friends this fall. This is my twist on butternut squash soup with the addition of apples and fresh dill.The apple's tartness livens up the squash and balances its natural sweetness. So simple to do with little ingredients, and just a little blender magic at the end, you'll have a smooth, velvety soup ready in less than an hour. Fresh dill and bits of red onion adds texture and a refreshing dimension of flavours.

Butternut Squash Apple Soup with Dill

In this Thai-Style Pumpkin Soup, the mellow pumpkin off-sets the richness of coconut milk and a gentle blessing of spicy Thai curry paste makes the soup really delightful to sip and savour. Pumpkin can easily be substituted with butternut squash. But the key to taking this soup from good to great is the cilantro lemon garlic pesto you swirl on top.. it truly elevates the taste to another dimension of flavours-- one with tang and bite!

Resharing from Food Revolution Toronto:

Happy August! This month's #CookwithFoodRevTO challenge is all about SALAD! Each week we'll be showcasing an idea for you to use your produce - this week, how about these twists on Jamie's simple green salad?

This is my kind of salad! Toasting almonds to just short of being burnt gives an interesting slightly bitter dimension to this unique salad dressing. Balanced with the sweetness of honey, sourness of red wine vinegar, piquant Dijon mustard, and salt, this nutty vinaigrette strikes a harmonious chord in fresh green salad mixed with the juiciness of grape tomatoes, licorice crunch of fennel and the creaminess of avocado. The results are gloriously addictive- full of flavour and textures, and easily a star at any gathering! What's yours?

Chocolate Pots à la Jamie Oliver...

As far as decadent chocolate and simplicity goes, these individual two-toned chocolate pots can't be beat. With just four items in three easy steps, you are on your way to baked chocolate heaven baby! A perfect indulgent treat for the kids to celebrate family day and also my birthday ode to doing a rendition my way, adapting Jamie Oliver's Chocolate Pot recipe for our Toronto Food Revolution February Cookbook Contest. Cakey on the outside, bake it a few minutes less for a molten lava centre, or as I have done to a gooey chocolatety inside. As Jamie exclaims in his recipe, it is utterly a mind-blowing chocolate experience! Try it! Share it! Spread the chocolate joy!

Chocolate Pots à la Jamie Oliver (adapted from Jamie Oliver)

Makes 4 pots (double the ingredients for double the batch)

170 g (6 oz.) quality dark chocolate (70%)-- I used Baker's Premium Dark Chocolate
100 g or 1/3 cup plus 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1/4 cup golden or light brown sugar
2 large eggs

maple syrup for drizzling (optional)

nectarine, thinly sliced for garnish

Preheat oven to 325F. Break or coarsely chop chocolate and place into microwaveable bowl along with butter, cubed. Microwave on medium-high heat for one minute. Stir well to blend the melted ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs together until thick and fluffy. Whisking constantly, pour the chocolate mixture into the eggs, until combined. 

Divide between four small ovenproof teacups or ramekins, then place them in a deep roasting tray. Place the tray in the oven, then carefully pour enough boiling kettle water into the tray to come halfway up the side of the cups. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, then carefully remove the cups from the tray and leave them to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Note: Baking 20 minutes will give you a molten centre, with five minutes more, a gooey interior. Each oven's temperature results differently. I used my small convection oven to save on energy and baked for 25 minutes.

Crispy on the outside...

For maximum pleasure, enjoy the chocolate pots warm – if they’re hot, they can be too runny, and if they even touch the fridge, they become too firm. Serve with a spoonful of crème fraîche and a drizzle of good maple syrup. Or as I've done, a few slices of nectarine for a simple presentation.

This recipe is perfect for the kids to get hands-on and make! 
Can't wipe the eager smile off these faces...

This is my chocolate monster!! Nom Nom...

Looks like a mini cake...

But oh so ooey, gooey on the inside.... Now that's what I call heaven in a pot!

There's still a week left in our Toronto Food Revolution February Cooking Contest to enter to win a Jamie Oliver cookbook. Won't you give this ridiculously delicious chocolate recipe a try! Click to see contest rules.
