We should have a cooking show.
2
Cooking with Chris and Kylie!
3
Hey Vogue!
4
It's Chris and Kylie and this is what we are serving up today.
5
So So, if you want to know how to make the perfect Kris Jenner martini.
6
It's a vodka.
7
It's Birkin.
8
One of my favorite vodkas.
9
Some martini olives.
10
And of course my favorite martini shaker.
11
Do you know what this is?
12
It's a little shot measurer. So cute.
13
And a mixer, a strainer, the perfect martini glass.
14
One for you Kylie.
15
Cheers.
16
And then, of course, who doesn't need an olive stick, right?
17
Also a really good weapon.
18
In case of martini emergency.
19
So we're going to fill this with ice.
20
I only have crushed ice.
21
Is that going to be a problem?
22
No, we'll work with it.
23
OK.
24
She's such a good assistant.
25
OK.
26
So we fill this with ice.
27
Two shots of vodka.
28
Well, I don't even measure anymore.
29
I know.
30
It's a joke.
31
Two shots.
32
It's a mean.
33
Who made that recipe?
34
OK.
35
So try to open that.
36
Oh, there you go.
37
Listen, guys, you don't use two olives.
38
You use one or three.
39
Why one or three?
40
Because, duh, everything is better in an uneven number.
41
So you pick one or three.
42
But you always ask for two olives.
43
So now I'm confused.
44
I think it must be the vodka.
45
You're absolutely right.
46
I think it's two olives, guys.
47
My bad.
48
If you want a really dirty martini, you can add the olive juice.
49
Okay.
50
We'll make one dirty and one clean.
51
Does a clean martini mean no olive juice?
52
Sure, it does now.
53
Do you want to strain some olive juice in there into the dirty one?
54
So, wait, so I hold it?
55
We can do it this way.
56
I don't understand the point of all this.
57
There isn't a point.
58
Okay.
59
I don't think we're doing this right.
60
I make these every night.
61
I know exactly what I'm doing.
62
Have you used this thing?
63
No. A little more.
64
Like, you know when you're sitting at the bar and one of your friends says, I'll have mine really dirty?
65
That means a lot of olive juice.
66
And now the best part of all is we do a toast.
67
Cheers.
68
Okay, so no vermouth.
69
A Kris Jenner martini never has vermouth.
70
Oh.
71
But did you know that if you do this and you shake this up, it makes it half as potent?
72
Because of the ice.
73
Yeah.
74
Waters it down.
75
That's right.
76
Interesting.
77
I don't know.
78
Something happens chemically.
79
But you really don't want to drink on an empty stomach.
80
Kylie Jenner makes the best charcuterie boards in the world.
81
Charcuterie boards go really great with the martini.
82
So if you guys are ever making these at home, you have to eat something.
83
So you might as well eat Oh.
84
This fly.
85
Frederick.
86
I have one fly that just follows me around.
87
So now you guys know how to make my martini.
88
And this is the pasta.
89
Oh my goodness.
90
Did you go grocery shopping today? Of course.
91
Wow, you're doing amazing, sweetie.
92
So, our favorite pasta.
93
This is going to be delicious.
94
Obviously.
95
Oh, flying zucchini.
96
Peppers in all different colors.
97
Couldn't do it without the carrots.
98
No, let's get started.
99
The first thing that you have to put into the skillet are the carrots.
100
Kind of do it like that.
101
Quarter inch pieces.
102
And then get a zucchini.
103
Should we cut it like Kendall?
104
Yeah.
105
You know what?
106
This is genetic.
107
This is genetic.
108
Genetic?
109
I don't cut things like this.
110
But you're good at it.
111
Kendall was on to something like this.
112
Feels really good. Does it?
113
Yeah.
114
Okay.
115
Let's have you throw everything in the skillet and saute the veggies.
116
Okay, so we're doing a bit of olive oil, A lot of it, like cover it?
117
Yeah, cover the whole pan.
118
We're covering the pan with olive oil.
119
Then we are gonna do chopped garlic.
120
Chopped garlic.
121
Five or six cloves because I like things really garlicky.
122
Me too.
123
We're gonna add the carrots first.
124
So here are your carrots.
125
And then when they become al dente, we're gonna add the zucchini.
126
But they're not al dente.
127
Add the broccoli.
128
Okay, so now we season.
129
Drizzle a tad more olive oil and season.
130
And we're gonna do this in layers.
131
So we're gonna do this a few times.
132
Okay.
133
Garlic salt.
134
The longer it sautés in here and the vegetables start soaking up the spices,
135
it becomes so yummy and the whole house smells really good.
136
Okay, I think we might be ready to add your bell peppers.
137
Ooh, bell peppers.
138
I have them from my garden.
139
And then we cook our pasta.
140
I always do my pasta for 10 to 12 minutes if it's a bow tie, because a bow tie is a little more condensed and thick in the middle, and I don't want it too stiff.
141
Mom, this looks so good.
142
Isn't it gorgeous?
143
And it's so easy to do.
144
Yeah, it is.
145
It takes 10 minutes.
146
Let's turn the heat off.
147
OK.
148
And you have to be really careful when you do this, guys.
149
So Kylie, why don't you start from the top, from the very top.
150
Scoop it on.
151
There you go.
152
Gosh, look at how beautiful this is, guys.
153
Smells so good.
154
And so all the olive oil that you drizzled in is now gonna be the dressing for this gorgeous pasta dish.
155
Let's get your Parmesan cheese and your basil.
156
Look how beautiful this is.
157
Did you know that Parmesan is delicious and nutritious?
158
30 grams contains up to 50% of your daily calcium intake.
159
That is crazy crazy.
160
Now, this is so yummy.
161
And all it needs now is a little piece of basil on the top.
162
This is basil from your garden that I picked up on the way over here.
163
This basil is so beautiful.
164
It smells so good.
165
This is from your garden.
166
And it's a really beautiful when you put it on a dish like this
167
because it really is like a little finicky touch. Are you paying attention?
168
Sorry, it's the Chris collection.
169
Oh, well in that case, keep on going babe.
170
Cooking with Chris and Kylie.
171
I need my martini.
172
How beautiful is this?
173
Stunning.
174
We made this.
175

176
It's very therapeutic cooking to me.
177
Well Kylie, it's been a blast making dinner with you.
178
Such a blast.
179
I love you, I'm proud of you and you made us a great meal.
180

181
Cheers.
182

183

186

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
