Here are some highlights on The Straits Times' food website - ST Food, straitstimesfood.com.
FOOD TRENDS AND MORE AT FOOD & HOTEL ASIA
ST Food checked out biennial food and hospitality show Food&Hotel Asia last week and picked up on some potential food trends that might just trickle their way here.
They include more ready-to-cook items, innovative farming methods, new-to-market foods and new technology to drive productivity such as large-scale wok-fryers and even a wagyu beef vending machine.
The four-day trade event, which celebrated its 40th anniversary, was held at Singapore Expo and Suntec Singapore. It featured more than 4,000 exhibitors from 70 countries.
Watch a video wrap of the show, which also featured various culinary competitions, including the National Team Challenge and Asian Pastry Cup.

RECIPES TO TRY
When recipes call for butter, they usually mean the unsalted kind. But if salted butter is all you have in your fridge - it is also much more readily available at supermarkets - here are three home-style treats you can whip up.
Make almond financiers, jazzed up with fruit; milk chocolate and raspberry jam blondies; and sugar cookies.
Yes, you can use salted butter in bakes: str.sg/oGTe
Not only are breaded chicken cutlets easy to cook, but they are also extremely versatile - eat them on their own, in a sandwich or tossed in a salad.
They are just as good hot as they are at room temperature. Make them in advance for a quick weeknight dinner.
