I’m often asked what food I make the most in my air fryer. The answer is easy – asparagus. I used to always steam my asparagus. And that was fine, but really, a little less that completely satisfying. Roasting in the oven is great, but I don’t always have the time to do that. The air fryer is the perfect appliance for cooking asparagus to perfection. What Size Asparagus and How Much?...
If you’re out of oven space, try this stove top version – with the same caramelisation! Glazed Carrots with caramelisation! Maybe it’s because I live in Australia and not North America, but it never occurred to me to make glazed carrots without caramelised edges. Yet, when I had a scout around the internet before publishing this recipe, I was somewhat bemused to see that the standard recipe seems to be made on the stove without any caramelisation....

Parmesan Crusted Chicken In case you can’t tell from the photo (really??!), this chicken recipe is all about the parmesan crust. It’s crunchy, it’s golden, it’s packed with flavour and perfectly seasoned so other than the teeniest tiniest pinch of salt in the egg mixture, you don’t need to add any salt or other seasonings at all....
Preparation Having highly reactive skin can be a struggle throughout the year, but it often becomes more challenging during the summer, when we become that much more diligent about slathering on SPF (which should be a year round endeavor!). After all, many sunscreens are chock-full of ingredients that can trigger redness, itching, stinging, and, in some cases, full-blown dermatitis. With this in mind (and with the warm-weather season officially upon us), we chatted with a few dermatologists about everything there is to know about gentle sunscreen options, especially for those who often struggle with finding a formula that works for them....
Do Defrost Salmon in the Refrigerator Of the three safest ways to defrost frozen salmon fillets, thawing in the refrigerator is recommended as your best option for flavor, texture and quality. When defrosting any frozen fish or meat, proper thawing practices reduce the risk of foodborne illness and food poisoning. When food is in the danger zone, 40-140 degrees Fahrenheit, bacteria multiply more quickly increasing the risk of foodborne illness. Defrosting salmon fillets in the refrigerator keeps the fish at a safe temperature....
Preparation Videography is an ever-increasing element of a successful wedding; more and more couples are counting it as a vital, necessary part of the wedding-day budget. However, is videography important for your entire ceremony and reception, or will capturing the highlights from the full day be enough? Josh Carrigan, founder, CEO, and lead filmmaker of Philadelphia’s Lovemore Films, specifically focuses on those small moments. “Your ceremony and reception formalities are certainly important parts of the wedding experience, but there are so many other little moments and interactions that you’ll be delighted to have on video down the road,” he said....

This Milky Way Cake recipe begins with three layers of Milky Way Cake. The Milky Way candy bars are literally melted into the cake batter to create cake that tastes totally amazing. The frosting is a chocolate- marshmallow sort of frosting. It’s the perfect pairing with the cake. I prefer to frost the cake in a “naked” way. This means that you just frost the top of each layer and stack them as you go....
Preparation Even after most couples have worked out a schedule for alternating Thanksgiving dinners and Independence Day picnics with their extended families, Mother’s Day remains a complex issue. Trying to celebrate the mother figures in your and your partner’s lives—while also carving out time for yourself (or your children’s mother)—requires delicate planning. But while the coordination may feel complicated, the etiquette is simple, says lifestyle and etiquette expert Elaine Swann. The most important factor to consider when planning your Mother’s Day celebration is what the guest of honor truly wants....

Preparation Although it’s pretty tempting to set up your single brother with one of your best friends, relationship experts strongly advise against doing so, as it could potentially put you in an uncomfortable position with both parties. That’s especially true if the pairing doesn’t end up working out or in the event that one person feels wronged by the other down the line. “When it comes to playing matchmaker for your siblings, I usually tend to advise against it,” says relationship psychiatrist Dr....
Try it with Chinese Chicken Wings, Asian Glazed Salmon or Asian Chilli Garlic Prawns (Shrimp)! Vermicelli Noodle Salad Asian cuisine doesn’t really have the equivalent of Western “go to” side salads like Coleslaw, Rocket and Parmesan, or Garden Salads. So I created this Vermicelli Noodle Salad as a simple, refreshing salad to accompany Asian foods. It’s one of those sides that I called a two-in-one, being that it’s made with vermicelli noodles, which helps fill out the meal instead of having rice on the side, plus plenty of crunchy fresh vegetable....
One dish can offer a wide variety of experiences depending on the sides you serve with it. Perhaps this explains why some cultures serve a whole lot of side dishes with their main delicacy. Sides can offer variety to your dish, making it exciting every time you serve it. Take chicken cordon bleu, for example. It tastes creamy and delectable, making it a satisfying dish for both special occasions, and regular meals....
