  • Cheese Board Minimalism
    Jul 8 2025

    Your hosts explain the hows and whys of a perfect CHEESE BOARD - and I think you're gonna learn something today. It really is within reach to make a cheese board classy AND effortless - by stripping it back.

  • Sticky Coconut Chicken and Rice
    Jul 6 2025

    Your favourite cooking nerds get EXCITED over an internet recipe that has the Comments Section going off.

    You know how they say "you should never read the comments"?

    Not in this case!


    The recipe is here.


    The modifications are:

    Cut the chicken into smaller pieces than suggested, then marinate them in 2tbs Garam Masala, 1tbs finely minced ginger and 1tbs fish sauce. To up the coconutty flavour, fry the chicken in coconut oil, not neutral oil. Don't use coconut cream (too oily), use coconut milk.

    Yumi also beefed up the cashews to 1 whole cup, and added 1/4 cup currants. (Raisins would also be amazing.)


    Yumi forgot to say in this episode - before you put the lid on and pop in the oven - LAY THE CHICKEN PIECES ON TOP OF THE RICE. Lol.


    Okay - any feedback ("comments") on this or any other episode foodfixemail@gmail.com

    LOVE YOU

  • The Air Fryer Diaries - Part 3 - aka The Pros and Cons of a Coffee Machine
    Jul 1 2025

    On this Final Instalment of Simon Davis's shameful Air-Fryer Diaries, you'll discover what's still sitting in the hallway of Simon's house, in its boxed, unloved and unopened.


    Yumi shares how she's been doing the audiobook recordings for a couple of her books...


    ALSO - how to make the greatest, easiest dessert ever: AFFOGATO?!

    It's so good it's almost uncanny.


    RECIPE:

    Ball up your best vanilla ice-cream into a neat spheres that you know will fit your (small) coffee glass.

    Return the ice-cream ball/s to the freezer until needed, along with your serving glasses because you want them nice and frosted.

    Place the ball of ice-cream into your pre-chilled glass.

    Make a hot espresso coffee.

    Pour it over the ice-cream. (This can be done at the table for fancy effect.)

    Eat immediately!
