#COOKING: AIR FRYER TURON RECIPE

Air Fryer Turon. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Filipino Cuisine, it honestly is so satisfying! One of my favourite things is Turon and it’s been so long since I’ve had it. It’s basically a sweet, caramelized egg roll with banana/plantain stuffed inside. So delicious. I was watching SELENA + CHEF and it was so cool seeing Toronto-born, New York-based Chef Jordan Andino guest star on the show, showing us how to make some traditional favourites. I love that his take on Turon has Jackfruit, a stinky, albeit delicious and underappreciated fruit. If you can find it fresh, use fresh, if not, no shame in canned. I’ve played around with this and adapted it for the Air Fryer, cutting sweetness and grease, but still enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

8 Egg Roll Wrappers
1 ripe Plantain (should have black markings on skin), cut into four pieces and then divided into thirds
4 pieces of fresh Jackfruit, sliced into strips
1/4 cup light brown sugar
4 tbsps melted unsalted butter
1 egg, beaten

Instructions:

1. Lay Egg Roll Wrapper on cutting board.
2. Arrange 3 strips of plantain and 2 jackfruit on wrap.
3. Sprinkle a bit brown sugar over plantain and jackfruit.
4. Fold bottom of wrap up, just to cover the fruit. then fold-up left and right sides. Dip finger in beaten egg wash and rub onto top strip of Egg Roll Wrapper. Fold over once more and seal gently.
5. Arrange Turon onto a platter.
6. Pre-heat Air Fryer at 375°F.
7. Brush melted butter allover the Turon. Sprinkle a bit more brown sugar.
8. Fry in two batches, four each for about 7 minutes. Flip Turon once half-way through.
9. Allow to cool about 10 minutes before eating.

#FIRSTLOOK: “HELTER SKELTER: AN AMERICAN MYTH”

50 years after the conviction of the Manson Family comes new six-part EPIX Docu-Series HELTER SKELTER: AN AMERICAN MYTH, new episodes airing every Thursday on Hollywood Suite starting February 11, 2021.

With the Oscar-winning success of Quentin Tarantino‘s ONCE UPON A TIME.. IN HOLLYWOOD, and also a Novel on the way based on the Film, the public still is proving to be fascinated by Charles Manson and his pack of devotees – among those a few who carried out the murders of Actress Sharon Tate and four others in 1969. The Manson Family also were responsible for a number of other crimes including murder.

The Series, directed by  Lesley Chilcott (Watson, An Inconvenient Truth) is a comprehensive study of Manson and his Family members and through subject matters experts like Biographer Jeff Guinn and Journalist Ivor Davis, people who knew Manson, his actual followers and archived interview footage, we get a complete picture of one of the most fascinating criminals in history.

Chilcott seeks to understand how failed Musician Manson came to be one of America’s most famous criminals and cult leaders. We go all the way back to his childhood where he was separated at a young age from his parents who were incarcerated for a petty crime and thus, began a cycle of him spending his youth in detention centres, escalating to time in some of the nation’s toughest institutions. We come to learn that prison is actually where he feels most at home because this is where he grew-up literally and where his friendships were formed. In this regard, the Docu-Series offers a balanced approach as even with so much known about Manson, it offers still some shocking and surprising insights. With the amount of detail we get, we really have a renewed appreciation for how many facts Tarantino got exact in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.

But how does he go on to be able to influence others on the scale he did? And this gets explored and is attributed to a course he had taken in an effort to get a fresh start in life.

Manson often targeted a certain vulnerability in the young women he recruited, tapping into something deep within their psyche providing the promise of a new start and validation. While things didn’t initially start off violent, matters escalated when Manson became convinced America was on the verge a Race War, forming alliances that would secure him access to weapons. He had convinced his followers that he was a manifestation of Christ and would be the one to guide them through salvation.

Through re-enactments, interviews and footage, Chilcott places us back to the era and it feels we are back in time when Manson first shocked a nation, making something that happened 50 years ago still feel very real. While the earlier episodes do a great job setting things up, the latter episodes which feature Davis that really dive deep. Davis wrote Manson Exposed: A Reporter’s Fifty-Year Journey into Madness and Murder, and truly was there on the front lines following the story during his tenure and he understands the collateral damage of those impacted by the murders.

Most of our fears approaching this Docu-Series was that we would be subject to disturbing images and re-enactments, and we’re thankful there isn’t too much of that, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t at the edge of our seat the entire way.

#FIRSTLOOK: NEW TRAILER FOR “VIOLATION”

Just premiering last September at TIFF ’20, Canadian-made VIOLATION continued its Festival run at Sundance and next will premiere at SXSW in March. The Film is a collaboration between Writer-Producer-Directors Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli; Sims-Fewer also stars.

Synopsis:

VIOLATION is a chilling and gruesome portrait of trust, loyalty, and sibling rivalry that pulls the audience through a dark vortex into a PTSD memory smash and untangles a sticky web of trauma and resentment.

In a film that transports itself seamlessly between recent past and present, the audience first meets Miriam (Sims-Fewer) and her partner Caleb (Obi Abili) as they drive to the rustic lakeside cottage property owned by Dylan (Jesse LaVercombe), who is married to Miriam’s sister Greta (Anna Maguire).

A sibling relationship that is outwardly loving and bonded by a shared British upbringing, soon reveals unspoken fractures, and bottled-up resentments that play out in the course of a profoundly troubled weekend.

Meanwhile, Dylan, the almost aggressively understanding and helpful brother-in-law, has another side that lies not far beneath the surface.

Trailer:

Pacific Northwest Pictures will release VIOLATION in Canada. You will be able to see it at home digitally as follows:

Exclusive Digital-Cinema Release
Digital TIFF Bell Lightbox
Begins March 19

Digital-Cinema Release
VIFF Connect Virtual Theatre
Begins March 26
