Broccoli & Red Capsicum Paella ft. Cosmic Cookware Australia
This super simple, delicious and easy paella recipe has become a favourite for me recently. It’s packed full of flavour, and only requires one pan for an easy clean-up!
My cookware of choice for this recipe is the Cosmo Pan by Cosmic Cookware. I’ve been using this pan (and the rest of Cosmic Cookware’s range) for the past 4 months and it is by far the best cookware I’ve used. Not only is it absolutely beautiful - seriously, how gorgeous is that green Cosmo Pan? - but it’s also the most high-quality cookware that I’ve used, the non-stick coating is unmatched.
I’m a big believer in finding the pleasure in cooking, and I’m certain this starts with finding both recipes and cookware that you love to use. For me, having gorgeous pans that I can cook both a large amount of food in, or meals just for myself, is essential. I also absolutely love finding or creating recipes that are enjoyable and relaxing to cook.
When it comes to the quality of the Cosmo Pan, you will be seriously impressed (as I and my loved ones have been). I mean, what’s not to love about toxic free and chemical free cookware that is super easy to clean? The Cosmo Pan can also be used in the oven (up to 230°C) and on all types of stovetops.
If you are looking to upgrade your cookware, or perhaps purchase something for a foodie or home cook in your life, I genuinely recommend checking out Cosmic Cookware. You can take a look at their products here and use my code AMANDACOSMIC10 for 10% off your purchase.
