Handmade Moisturiser in the Thermomix
Summer is coming and along with it nice skirts, shorts and a little more bare skin. Who wants smooth, soft skin? I usually find that once my family hits the beach, we usually start using copious quantities of moisturiser all round. When my little ones are lathering it on their precious skin, I really like to know that what they are using is…
Rich Steak Pie
It’s winter time, perfect weather for a good ol’ steak pie. This recipe is so wonderful in so many ways…but mostly it’s the filling. From the depth of flavour and the tenderness of the meat, you would have thought that hours of stove stirring had been devoted to this dish. But instead, just ten minutes in…
Nutella Brioche Muffin Scrolls
Don’t they sound amazing! Nutella….brioche…all wrappped up and mooshed together a little into a scroll and served as individual muffins. And to think you have both of the recipes you need for these delicious morsels in your Everyday Cookbook! Nutella. It’s a weakness of mine, along with Lemon Butter. I simply cannot stop at just one mouthful (eaten…
Silverbeet and Potato Torte
I’ve mentioned before how handy it is to have silverbeet growing in the garden. It has such a long season, it’s easy to grow and is so versatile, particularly with a Thermomix to chop it up finely and hide in all manner of dishes. I seem to love it most at those times when I think I have nothing in the…
Gado Gado
Gado Gado served with chicken skewers and some finely sliced fillet steak. Gado Gado is a well know dish from Indonesia and means “mix mix”. It’s a salad which combines raw and blanched vegetables with eggs and is served with a delicious peanut satay sauce. This is an adaption of a recipe from Chris, a…

Lemon Tart Thermonix
I think everyone loves a good lemon tart. Lemon desserts are amongst my favourite treats. My all time favourite Lemon Tart recipe would have to be from Stephanie Alexander’s The Cooks Companion cookbook, such a classic. Of course the Thermomix really does make this recipe a breeze. My shortcrust pastry has never been so good…

Basic Biscuit Recipe
OK, so I have given you my basic cake recipe. Of course, I also have a basic biscuit recipe.

I am definitely…
