Hello!
We are going short and sweet today (or, actually, salty!). Sometimes there’s no need for a lengthy essay about what to cook, and this journal is all about absolute ease, with a cheesy appetizer that’s only got a few ingredients but impresses everyone I’ve ever served it to.
And because too much cheese is never enough, I’ve pulled a couple of other gorgeous cheese-themed steam oven dishes from the Insider archives for you.
I hope your July has gone well, see you again in mid August. Which I have to say is blowing my mind, because that’s when I begin planning all my end of year recipes for the website and it feels WAY too early in the year to be there already!

Baked Feta with Honey and Walnuts
Something about a warm appetizer is much more special than a cold one, and this baked feta ticks all the boxes for intense salty-sweet flavors, different textures and minimal effort requirements. I bet you’ll love it.
From the Archives
Two gorgeous recipes from the Insiders archive today, to suit different seasons (although I make both of them year round!).
First up, we’ve got bright, snappy steamed green veg with soft cheese and spicy chilli. This is a lovely assembly of fresh things, counterbalanced with a very creamy soft milky cheese. Give it a try as a side dish next time you entertain; it’ll be the star of the meal.
And then, one pan tomato and herb haloumi. This dish is a brilliant meat free main meal or substantial side, and I never get sick of eating it.
Ask Me Anything (AMA)
Here’s your opportunity to ask me anything you like related to combi steam cooking!
I encourage you to submit questions, and do my best to answer as many as possible. I can’t always get to every single question (especially during those peak cooking times like Thanksgiving and Christmas!), but I select ones which are relevant and represent a variety of topics. We all learn from each other, and I often learn new things based on questions from you!
If you have an AMA question, please email it to [email protected]. Make sure you include the phrase INSIDERS AMA in the subject line so I can collate and read all your submissions.
