 'One-Pot Wonders' Recipe Book

By Chef Marina Mustafa & Sara Khong 

With the tagline of 'Preserving Tradition With Modern Innovation', I have decided to try out the classic and authentic recipe of 'Rendang Tok Perak' from the recipe book, 'One-Pot Wonders' by Chef Marina Mustafa & Sara Khong. You can purchase this book online from www.mphonline.com for RM 39.90. 

Well, in conjunction with the coming Ramadan festive celebration, I'm taking the opportunity to whip out some good old Malay traditional favourites for my food loving family with this amazing magic cooker from Philips!

To be frank, the last time I tried cooking this dish was a total failure although as much as I loved eating this yummy Rendang Tok, the thoughts of cooking this dish give me the shivers. You see, the Rendang Tok is the best Malaysian rendang, it's rich, loaded with spices and awesome flavours of fresh herbs but it takes forever to cook with constant stirring to make sure the dish does not burn at the bottom while trying to get the perfect dry consistency. I remember vaguely slaving myself over the cast iron wok while sitting on a high chair stirring the rendang dish for long hours and regretting ever cooking this dish.    

Coming back to my amazing PHILIPS All-In-One Pressure Cooker, I'm truly proud and happy to share the recipe with Step-By-Step cooking instructions with nice photos to conceptualise the whole cooking process in my blog here! 😍😍😍

As a full-time housewife cooking for my family for more than 3 decades, I found the PHILIPS All-In-One Pressure Cooker an excellent 'assistant' in my kitchen.
