If you like your chocolate cakes rich, dense and silky, this might be the best dessert recipe you’ve ever made in your steam oven. It comes together in just a few minutes, and tastes even better a day or two after baking.

Spinach and ricotta cannelloni is one of my all-time favourite vegetarian meals. I made it for years before I owned a steam oven, but it cooks faster and has better texture using combi steam. Make a double batch and freeze some for a no-prep dinner on a night when you’re too busy to cook.

Wondering what the major steam oven brands offer and which type of steam oven suits you? If you’re confused about combination or convection steam, full steam, Moisture Plus, PulseSteam, VarioSteam and the many other terms brands use to describe their steam oven settings, this is the post for you.     

These lamington-inspired, coconut and chocolate topped raspberry muffins are so simple. The batter mixes up in a single bowl and the topping is child’s play.
