Tuesday: Spring Chicken and Vegetable Risotto

A Panasonic rice cooker takes the hard labour out of risotto. We absolutely love coming up with new ways to use our kitchen appliances and we’ve definitely hit  a winner with this chicken and vegie risotto. Instead of standing at the stove to slowly stir one ladle full of stock into the risotto at a time, you can use a Panasonic rice cooker and turn out perfect risotto in about thirty minutes.

Friday: Margherita Pizza

Popular legend has it that the Margherita Pizza was created in honour of Queen Margherita by Pizzeria Brandi chef, Raffaele Esposito and his wife in 1889 using colours of the Italian flag; red (tomato), white (mozzarella) and green (basil). However, true Italophiles will tell you that the recipe stretches back even further in history. Whatever the case, this classic pizza is a must-have in your repertoire and it’s easy to create using a Panasonic bread maker and convection microwave oven.
