Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
To celebrate the World Cup, OXO asked if I would like to create a different cuisine of one of the 32 participating countries mouth-watering recipes for the World Cup Blogger Challenge. Without hesitation, I backed Germany to win and picked two utensils to cook two German dishes: 2.8L Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl and Potato Ricer. This recipe is inspired by a proper Kartoffelpuffer recipe (please see below) with a few additional ingredients.

Occasionally I have to cook three to four individual meals for my family. I am the only one who eats hot and spicy food while the rest don’t. Ms C is very picky and fussy! She only likes plain food with a limited selection of vegetables. Mr C and Mr K loves their meats, particularly a nice roast.
I am lucky to be picked to test out a range of OXO Shake & Flavours. I see these as being a great time saver in cooking individual meals!
It is almost the time of the year to show off your flipping skills as Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) is fast approaching. Shrove Tuesday is the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. In the UK, traditionally people eat pancakes on that day hence it is called Pancake Day.
I always love kitchen gadgets that help to make cooking easier. This OXO Good Grips Flip & Fold Omelet Turner is perfect for making omelets. I always found it hard to use a flat wooden spatula to glide around the egg or turn the omelet around. The rim of the omelet tends to stick on the wooden spatula and it is hard to flip the whole omelet with a small spatula.
Both of my children were in full time school today which gave me plenty of time to do my favourite hobby – cooking! One food I always like to cook is roast chicken as it is fairly straightforward. I am so excited that I am able to participate in the Great British Food Fortnight blogger challenge with OXO again. This week, instead of cooking traditional British food, I replaced potatoes with rice. I added the Hainanese sauce that I bought from the Chinese supermarket into the rice and cooked it in a rice cooker.
So while waiting for the chicken to cook, I had used the OXO Good Grips Julienne Peeler with some carrots and stir fried with Chinese leaf and runner beans.
This week is Ms C’s last week of reception adaptation where she finished at mid day. After fetching her home, we decided to bake fairy cakes for a snack. Firstly, I had used the OXO GoodGrips 3-in-1 egg separator on my large thick rimmed mixing bowl. It rests nicely on the edge of the bowl. I also tried a couple of smaller sizes of mixing bowls but they didn’t fit so nicely. The non-slip underside fits most thin and thick rimmed bowls and stand mixers but in my experience it is more suited for bigger mixing bowls.
I have been celebrating my 11th year in the UK. During these times, I have enjoyed British foods like Sunday Roasts and Big Breakfasts etc. Cooking tradition British food however is not going to be easy with me as I am not very familiar with it. I am so excited that I am able to participate in the Great British Food Fortnight blogger challenge with OXO Good Grips.
As many will know OXO Good Grips are a great brand who do innovative consumer products that make everyday living easier. For this weeks challenge, I cooked a roasted pork joint and served with oven chips. I used the OXO Good Grips Poultry Shears and OXO Good Grips Julienne Peeler to help me along.
