Vegetable Kebabs in the Von Shef Cook Robot Digital Air Fryer.

My family love vegetable kebabs and I make them often but I do find that shallow frying them still means that they are unhealthy and I restrict them to once a month only. This is not the case anymore, this month we have had vegetable kebabs every week thanks to my new Von Shef Cook Robot Digital Air Fryer.

This amazing air fryer has many functions, it can grill, stir fry, steam and stew. It comes with an easy to use digital timer and  removable cooking pan with handles, removable stirring arm, steaming rack and utensil kit. The advantage of having the removable pan and stirring paddle makes it convenient to wash. Once the central removable stirring paddle is removed it makes  room to place the steaming rack  in the pan.

If you are unable to get this brand of air fryer, there are many air fryers on the market which have very similar functions and are excellent alternatives.

You can see how I made my delicious and healthy Vegetable Kebabs with very little oil in the Von Shef Cook Robot Digital Air Fryer.

We love eating our vegetable kebabs wrapped in warm tortilla wraps topped with lots of green salad and topped with a fiery chilli sauce. You could even serve them with some delicious air fryer chips.

The kebabs can also be made as party appetisers, as they serve well as finger foods. Although the kebabs are super delicious when warm they taste equally good cold and we often use the left overs as sandwich fillings with houmous. They also freeze really well.

This post is in collaboration with Von Shef, who sent me the Von Shef Cook Robot Digital Air Fryer to test in the simplyfood kitchens. 

Apple and Cranberry Crumble in the ActiFry

Eating healthy and maintaining a healthy diet is very important in our lives, that does not mean that we give up eating all the foods that we enjoy eating. It is rather about cooking the foods we love in a healthier way and eating more fresh vegetables, incorporating fibres into our diet and reducing the amount of processed and junk food we eat.You can enjoy a really healthy meal that is low in fat and cooked to perfection using Tefal ActiFry. All you need is one spoon of oil and the ActiFry to cook chips, curries, stews, stir fries and desserts.

The ActiFry works on a patented hot air pulse system and consists of a stirring paddle which rotates the food to assist in cooking. The fryer is easy to clean as the centre cooking pan and paddle are removable and are dishwasher safe. The ActiFry has a digital timer which is easy to set and use.

The ActiFry is versatile and you can cook simple chips, potato wedges, curries, risotto to jams and desserts. It is available in various sizes so it can be useful for a couple or for a family too. 

The ActiFry I have is the 1 kg capacity and it’s perfect for a family of four .For more details of dimensions and product details click here.

I am really enjoying cooking and experimenting in my Actifry and I will share some of my recipes here each week.

I tried this simple Apple crumble recipe in my ActiFry and it was delicious and healthy too.
