Cooking is an act of love. Each step reflects care and the joy of nourishing family. This Christmas, let the kitchen’s warmth unite your loved ones. Share stories and laughter over a delicious meal; the most meaningful gifts are often served, not wrapped.
For flavorful and perfectly prepared meals, the right cooking companion is essential. Beko, from Europe’s No. 1 Large Home Appliance Company, helps you create delightful and nourishing dishes for family and friends.
Inspired by the classic favorites, here are some handaan ideas perfect for the family or potluck, or when you want to gift a cooked meal:
No-fail festive bites
The appetizer sets the tone for any holiday feast, and nothing captures everyone’s attention quite like the iconic Lumpiang Shanghai. With its golden, crispy wrapping and a savory mix of protein and veggie filling, this classic Filipino dish is a guaranteed party hit.
To ensure your lumpia sizzles to golden brown perfection, a rangehood can give you a clear view of what’s cooking, just like Beko’s rangehood options that feature LED illumination. This kitchen essential lets you see if your dishes are cooking properly and helps you better gauge the cooking process.
Make it cheesy
Apart from the appetizer, pasta dishes bring satisfying comfort and are quite filling. Instead of the usual spaghetti, consider trying a cheesy classic: mac & cheese. Top it with bacon bits or put a Pinoy flair with sweet ham toppings; this casserole dish truly makes the carbs worth it. For those looking to add a fun twist, try the viral Tini mac n’ cheese crafted by American chef and social media personality Tineke “Tini” Younger.
To get that crispy crust and oozy cheese texture, the Beko’s freestanding cooker has your back to make it happen! Its Steamaid function ensures fluffier, crisper baking for that golden crust, while the Halogen illumination gives you a clear view of what’s happening inside, so every bake is perfectly monitored. Its high-efficiency gas burner also cooks faster and more efficiently thanks to its smart design, while gas safety features provide peace of mind with the automatic gas cut-off.
Cap it off with a sweet note
After a hearty holiday feast, it’s now time for the sweet finale: the ever-popular Mango Graham Float. With the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess from the mango and cream, this dessert is a true crowd-pleaser that’s as festive as it is delicious.
To ensure the best experience, the mango graham float should be served freshly chilled instead of frozen. Using a Beko refrigerator with ProSmart Inverter technology will keep your desserts perfectly chilled. During preparation, store the mangoes in the fresh produce compartment, which has the HarvestFresh technology that features a three-color light system that simulates the natural sunlight cycle, preserving vitamins in fruits and vegetables and keeping them fresh for up to 30 days.
