Philips Avance Collection Multicooker Review (w/ Canada Only Giveaway $250 ARV)

by Tazim Damji

Avance Collection Multicooker by Philips

As a self-proclaimed foodie, it should come as no surprise that I have a fair amount of kitchen appliances in my home. Generally, the kitchen appliances perform a singular function, and mostly sit in my cupboards collecting dust. The single most used small appliance in my home is the new Philips Avance Collection Multicooker. When I first heard of its existence, I admit that I was excited to have a fancy new appliance to steam rice in. But, whoa—stop the presses! The Multicooker does SO much ...

Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Waffles Recipe

by Tazim Damji

Vegan banana chocolate chip waffles

Breakfast in bed. Sounds amazing, doesn't it? What if it came with a mess in the kitchen included? Somehow, it's a bit less appealing! Honestly, I have to think really hard to remember what it's like to make waffles and be left with a ginormous mess to clean up afterward. You know the kind of mess I mean: gooey bits of waffle batter stuff to the waffle maker, all over the sides and just. . .everywhere! You see, I haven't had to deal with that in a while, not since I got the new No-Mess Waffle ...

More Juice, Less Waste, Better Taste

by Tazim Damji

Juicepresso

The first juicer I ever used was a screaming behemoth, by the time I lifted it onto the counter, had my veg ready and flicked the switch, I was already a bit daunted. And then, what seemed like a dozen carrots later, as I enjoyed my half-cup of juice, I tried to smile and really enjoy it, because I knew I would be spending the next half-hour cleaning up the mess I’d made procuring it. I’m sorry giant juicer—it just didn’t work out. I returned it, and while I still really liked the idea of ...

How to Get Relief for Your Back and Feet with WellnessMats

by Tazim Damji

wellness mats

My mom loves to cook, but doesn't so much love being on her feet for so many hours at a time. Hardwood floors, like I have, make it especially painful to keep baking and cooking. A soft rug does little relieve the pain in your feet and back. Because WellnessMats are so portable, I tend to move mine from in front of my sink to in front of my stove regularly. If you don't want to do this - you can get customized WellnessMats in the shape/length you'd like! Take a look at the different ...

How to Keep your Knives Sharp with Chefs Choice Professional Sharpening Station 130

by Tazim Damji

chefs choice professional sharpening station

I am sharing my tips on keeping your kitchen knives sharp thanks to Chef's Choice. If there is anything that makes me appreciate having sharp knives to use in the kitchen more than anything else, it's using my mom's dull knives. Her knives are consistently dull, making it difficult to cut through food properly. Add to that, the fact that she always uses the wrong types of knives for jobs, and it makes me want to gift her with a Professional Sharpening Station, like the Chef's Choice Model ...
