Walnut and Pear Porridge

Walnut and Pear Porridge 


Ingredients & Method

  • Ingredients: ½ cup rolled oats, 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened), 1 ripe pear (diced), 2 tbsp chopped walnuts, ½ tsp cinnamon.
  • Instruction: Combine oats and almond milk in a pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently until creamy. Stir in the diced pear and cinnamon during the last minute of cooking. Top with the chopped walnuts and serve warm.

Tips for Success & Heart Health


To maximise cardiovascular benefits and help prevent heart attacks, choose rolled or steel-cut oats. They are packed with beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that actively lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol. Keep the skin on the pear for an extra boost of fibre and antioxidants, which help regulate blood pressure.


Most importantly, do not skip the walnuts—they are a powerhouse of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid that reduces arterial inflammation and improves cholesterol profiles. To keep it as healthy as possible, entirely avoid adding refined sugars or syrups; let the natural sweetness of the ripe pear carry the flavour.

Fusion Recipe: Curry Puff Profiteroles

  Th e Curry Puff Profiterole is a playful, sophisticated fusion of French pastry technique and Malaysian street food soul. Traditional curry puffs use a heavy, flaky shortcrust, but this version utilises light, airy choux pastry ( profiteroles ) as the vessel. By swapping deep-frying for baking, we create a delicate crunch that feels indulgent but contains significantly less oil. Filled with a fragrant, spicy potato and chicken (or lentil) dry curry , these bite-sized gems offer a burst of turmeric and cumin in every light-as-air mouthful. It’s an elegant, health-conscious appetiser that brings the heat of Southeast Asia to a classic Parisian form.
