Well, what happened to the summer? I don’t mean the sunshine, we didn’t have a bad one by British standards, but where did the time go? Whether you have children or not, the darker evenings somehow chase away the idea of loafing around and slowly cooking something to be enjoyed at leisure. Add hungry post-school offspring into the mix and we all need a couple of fast, filling, flexible dinner options up our sleeves.

Summer holidays are here and getting outdoors is a great thing to do with the family when you’ve been cooped up in schools and offices all year. Add a a picnic into the mix you've got yourself an adventure - especially when you take the unreliable British weather into account. This recipe will not only make an event out of prepping for the picnic, but it’ll provide a range of options for young and old and something comforting enough to eat in the car hiding from the rain or light enough to eat sat in the sun. You can make the pastry with the kids and lay out all the filling options for them to choose from so that they can make their lunch and mark the tops of the pies as they wish.

Shortbread. So simple and yet so good. Only three ingredients can make you a wonderful, buttery, crumbly biscuit which is perfect to have on your own with a moment of calm and a cup of tea or to package up into a gift. Not only that, but you can use it as a base for all sorts of wonderful sweet treats - perhaps with cream or mousse on top or indeed, millionaire shortbread. However, I’ve always had dubious results when it comes to the caramel part of the shortbread-for-rich-people so I’m sharing a cheats method with you which I discovered by throwing a load of ingredients in my baking cupboard into a pan and has since become a family favourite.

Well, it looks like summer is just starting to think about appearing and what great timing, for Saturday the 10th June is World Gin Day and there’s nothing that makes a gin and tonic taste better then a long balmy summer evening.

Roast lamb is the Easter family meal of choice and it’s true, there are few things that can beat a great roast lamb dish. But with spring, perhaps even summer trying to show its face and with Easter holidays perhaps making things a bit more rushed I thought it would be nice to bring you something lighter, less time consuming and more informal. Something that you can prep in minutes, throw in the oven and then pop on the table for everyone to dig in.

Healthy and exciting breakfast ideas using your Rangemaster
Posted by Alexandra Dibble Tuesday, 17th January 2017
Christmas has been and gone and everyone is thinking about shedding those few extra pounds that were gained over the Christmas period, but who wants to eat rabbit food for the next 3 days and then give up. It’s important to remain positive and still enjoy your food, even when you are trying to shed those few extra pounds, one of the best ways to do this is to ensure that you are eating three healthy, exciting and different meals a day. So many people skip breakfast whether it is due to time restrictions, being disorganised or the classic excuse, “I don’t usually feel hunger in the morning”. It really important to eat a balanced breakfast to give your body energy and help start your day in a bright and positive way. Hopefully the super quick, healthy and delicious recipes that we have created here at Rangemaster, will make you excited about cooking and eating breakfast and give you lots of energy to battle through the cold winter months.
0 CommentsIt's January and everyone is done with the excesses of Christmas. Happily, there seem to have been a lot less focus this year on diets and more on eating well. Here are just a couple of ways in which the Rangemaster Elan 90 gets used in our house for good-for-you and happy eating.
0 CommentsFruit-bread toast and chocolate spread. That comes into the category of naughty but nice, right? Well, let me be your little ray of sunshine today (yeah, sunshine, remember that?) because this toasty goodness is actually at the healthy end of the spectrum.
The bread is made with sweet potato and chickpeas so it’s sweet but not too sweet, incredibly filling and full of slow release energy. The loaf is studded with prunes to give it little pockets of gooey goodness that also serve to up the fibre content and the crunchy roasted chickpeas on the top give it a lovely crunch to contrast the more solid texture of the inside.

It’s that time of year again, the weather is getting cold, the hat, scarves, coats and gloves are being dug out of wardrobes, all the takeaway coffee cups have turned red and that certain department store have released the highly anticipated Christmas advert.

With the launch of the new range of built in appliances comprising of 19 products, the one that is most exciting for me is the Rangemaster Steam Oven.
When you say the words Steam Oven to most people they automatically think of vegetables and fish, and the most asked question I get as the AGA Rangemaster Group Home Economist is “why would I need an oven to just cook fish and vegetables”. Well in answer to that question, the steam oven is much more versatile than you may think and can be used all through the day and not just for the fish and veggies at dinner time.
