I know, I know, I promised I was going to get up to date on my posts. Well it turned out I wasn’t quite as recovered as I had hoped, plus we’ve been travelling and my son had surgery (it all went great) so I’ve been a bit distracted. So no promises this time, but […]
This is a little task that I need to do often as I’m a bit of a Varoma fan. Of course you don’t have to line it but depending on what you are steaming, and if there is something cooking in the bowl too, it can be a good idea. For example in all-in-one recipes I don’t prefer […]
Sorry it has been a very quiet few months around here. There’s been big changes a foot (which I will tell you all about next time), coupled with a bit of a medical emergency which had me out of cooking action for quite a while. But don’t worry, I’m back and have so many recipes half […]
When I first became a Thermomix Advisor I was often telling people “did you know that you can cook a whole chicken in the varoma?” – a question that was often greeted with astonished looks. “It’s true” I’d say, “I haven’t tried it but…”. To be honest my Husband does a great roast chicken, so […]
Hands up who loves Banana Bread? Growing up in our house it was always “Banana Cake”. To be honest I’ve never really understood what the difference is, if indeed there is a difference at all. I was always a bit secretly pleased to find the bananas had gone brown, it meant Mum could be convinced to […]
I struggle to find nice GF crackers for having with dips or cheese. I’ve long been jealous of the selection of pretty seeded flatbreads and crackers available for the gluten-tolerant but there is no good substitute. Oatcakes can be a bit too heavy and aren’t the prettiest. Back in Australia we used a lot of the […]
I have previously pondered the variety of spellings of “Hummus” when I made my Sweet Potato Hummus. So let’s not dwell on that this time. But I’ve just found out that the word Hummus actually translates to “Chickpea”, so really it is an incomplete description regardless of how you spell it. A bit like calling Babaganoush […]
It’s that time of the year when I reflect back on the vast quantities of fudge, cake and other treats we’ve been enjoying in the build up to xmas. The cold weather in the northern hemisphere doesn’t help the comfort food cravings. While I usually do my best to eat healthily all year long I […]
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 […]
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.
