Philips Jamie Oliver steamer

The Philips and Jamie Oliver steamer

Dubai; We know how much you love competitions, so here’s the second in a series from the Philips and Jamie Oliver kitchen collection, where we’re giving away one steamer and one hand blender to two lucky winners.

So what are they both about?

The steamer comes kitted out with a large bain marie and vent holes to stop any finger burning, an egg steaming rack, plus three stackable baskets.

The only thing it doesn’t do from what I can tell is grill! Best bit is, the HomeCooker can be left unattended (even for risotto), allowing you to busy yourself with other things – mainly thanks to the auto-stir function, a key feature that differentiates it from other kitchen appliances.

Gourmet February Expert Column

FooDiva's expert column in Gourmet's February issue

Dubai; I can’t quite believe it’s FooDiva’s first birthday today – one divaliciously full year since the official announcement. What started out as an amateur foodie blog whilst travelling in Japan and China has grown into my life and my passion. I truly love my job…every minute of the day…and night. Yes it’s all-consuming, food included :) and the last year has had its roller coaster moments, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Life’s too short, we need to follow our dreams.
