I’ve mentioned in a previous post how much I love Asian food so for the first ever recipe on the Only Cookware blog I decided to make Chicken Almond Stir Fry. And when I say ‘I decided to make…’, I don’t actually mean I made it.
I love cooking but I am in the enviable position […]

I love Asian food. I love the fresh ingredients and the ease with which I can cook up a healthy meal full of wonderful flavors and aromas. If I had my way this is all I would eat.

Food can cook up to 70% faster in a pressure cooker. This is such a help for busy or working mothers (and fathers!). Simply put the food in the pot and by the time you’ve relaxed with a cup of tea, dinner is ready!

It’s important to store your cast iron Dutch oven with the lid slightly open to allow air to circulate into the pot.
Use a length of kitchen paper towel that is long enough to go across the rim of the pot. Fold it like a fan, lay it across the rim and put the lid on. […]

I think it is such a shame to hide my cookware away in the cupboard where it can get dented and scratched. Especially as pots and pans are not inexpensive items to buy if you are going to buy good quality cookware.
