I love peanut satay, luuurve it! I’ve made lots of variations of it over the years, pre-whizzy machine days I used peanut butter but now I get the extra satisfaction of really making it from scratch using whole peanuts. You can use satay sauce to pour over meat or tofu with vegetables and rice, use it […]
Until last week I had never set eyes upon fresh cranberries so when I stumbled across bags of them in the shops I was, I admit, more than a little excited. I was also quite puzzled because they didn’t look at all like I was expecting. I imagined cranberries to look a lot like what […]
Who else has been Christmas cooking? There’s been a lot of fudge in my life lately. For someone who had never made fudge before, the whizzy machine has made it a little too easy. I’m having to get it into cellophane bags as quickly as possible to minimise fudge ‘sampling’. I’ve been using Thermoblitz recipe for […]
Zucchini/Courgette. I’m getting so muddled up about what names I am meant to use since moving to the UK. Peppers seems to be sticking but I can’t seem to bring myself to say Courgette or Mange Tout (what’s that all about?). And don’t get me started on onions; I still can’t work out what’s what […]
Have you tried Pumpkin Pie? I remember the first time I tried it, the idea of pumpkin in a pie as a dessert just didn’t sound right but I soon swallowed my words. It’s smooth and creamy with a delicate balance of sweetness and spice, not overly rich and a little too easy to eat. Those […]
Let’s face it, being gluten free can be the pits, especially when it comes to bread. I confess that we often fall back on store bought GF bread, which is choc-full of sugar, but I have the best of intentions at being more organised and making it regularly. Problem is I’ve yet to find a […]
Hummus, Houmous, Hommus, hummous, hommos, humos, or hoummos, however you spell it, is delicious and really quite good for you. It’s cheap to make, keeps for quite a while in the fridge and is so versatile. Use as a dip with crackers or carrot sticks, spread on a wrap, use instead of butter on your sandwich, spread some on your […]
I was at a meeting the other day and my friend Isabel brought along some pears poached in rose water. They were divine. I was hoping she would post the recipe so I could share it here and to my delight I’ve just discovered that she has (you will find it here). Whilst eating more than my fair […]
The problem with having a Thermomix (what’s that? problem?). The problem with having a Thermomix is that, as bit by bit you start to make almost everything from scratch, you start to run out of jars and bottles. I will admit that I feel a bit virtuous when I open my fridge and see jars of […]
I know this week has been a bit of a dessert bonanza so please forgive me for adding to your calorie count again so soon. But, this could be it, the one you’ve been waiting for. It’s one of my all-time favourites and I finally got around to Thermomix’n it. You can thank me later after you […]
Because oranges are not the only fruit
The Thermomix can be an absolute godsend to the time poor person or a culinary experience to the basic cook.
