I'd like to say that now, exactly 20 years later, my tastes have refined and matured, but the truth is, as soon as I step foot onto American soil, I make a beeline for that white cheddar cheese vending machine popcorn. There's just something decadent about it!
While I do like to indulge in the bad stuff every now and again, this recipe celebrates the good stuff! The lovely folks at Designer Habitat popped a VonShef Fat-Free Hot Air Popcorn Maker to me just before Christmas and since then, every weekend we've enjoyed fresh popcorn. In fact, this is just the first recipe of many I'll be sharing with you!
Gourmet popcorn is such a thing and I absolutely love that. I've been a hardcore popcorn fanatic all my life. No cinema experience is complete without it and my kitchen cupboards are not fully stocked without a box of the microwavable stuff. Except for now. The microwavable stuff has been replaced by kernels and toppings for homemade gourmet popcorn!
I'm easing you into the world of homemade gourmet popcorn with a straightforward recipe today that will bring out the kid in you!
I absolutely adore this popcorn maker! You don't need to add any oil or butter to make the popcorn, so unless you drizzle a bit of butter over top after you're all done popping, you can easily make fat free popcorn! If you do wish to finish your popcorn with a kiss of butter, simply melt the butter in the cradle while the popcorn pops. The heat from the machine melts the butter for you! Easy!
1 portion popcorn kernels
1 teaspoon purple basil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons parmesan, grated
sea salt

Homemade White Cheese Popcorn
When I was 8 years old, my classmates and I went on a white cheese popcorn binge. Every day in our lunches, we'd have bags of white cheese popcorn, the kind that kids adore: that coats your fingers in a fuzzy layer of quasi-artificial cheese powder.I'd like to say that now, exactly 20 years later, my tastes have refined and matured, but the truth is, as soon as I step foot onto American soil, I make a beeline for that white cheddar cheese vending machine popcorn.
