It’s not easy to work out where things began.

Trying to find treats with food allergies is a complete nightmare and shopping takes forever with having to read labels. One of us has a nut allergy, the other a dairy allergy – the dairy allergy especially is difficult to find nice treats! With shop bought treats you are really limited to things like Oreo cookies, Biscoff biscuits and dark ...

Although Zojirushi has a great reputation for quality and durability, here at Yum Asia, we sometimes received e-mails from customers who expressed concern about the Sumiflon inner bowl and asking if there were any alternatives. A lot of people, for various reasons, like to avoid Teflon – mostly due to PTFE (most Teflon/similar materials have been PFOA free since 2015). ...
Traditionally made with lamb or mutton, it can be made with chicken or beef as well. On this occasion we only had chicken to hand and it was delicious. Cooking this on the slow cook feature on the Sakura meant we could set it and leave it, knowing it would switch to keep warm once the cooking was complete. You ...
Tender beef with a flavourful kick from central Europe. Perfect for a cool evening or hearty filling meal. Serve with rice, noodles, good quality bread (for sauce dunking) or a home made creamy mash for a winning combination. Watch our recipe video to see how it’s made! ...
