It’s rhubarb season! It seems to be one of those flavours that you either love or hate. I am definitely a lover! Hence, when I saw this recipe over at Style and Shenanigans I was keen to give it a try. Vanessa, a friend and new Thermomix customer, is the author of the…
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…
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…
Pink Layered Birthday Cake

I could write a whole blog post of it’s own about this topic… and that gorgeous girl. But this is a cooking blog, so I’ll keep it food related. Originally, a Croquembouche was on the…
Basic Cake Recipe – Dairy Free
This is our basic cake recipe. My youngest child, Eddie, is dairy intolerant so of course it’s a dairy free recipe. I adapt it in many ways. It’s an easy one to memorise and even easier to make. I think its even easier than the Easy Chocolate Cake in the Everyday Cookbook as the melted butter is substituted…
Buttermilk Scones
A perfect Mother’s Day for me would have to include tea! This Mother’s Day we will be having a lovely afternoon tea with the special ladies in our life. I have some what of a “heavy hand” in the kitchen and I have never been able to make scones before with any success. The Thermomix…
Have You Tried the Carrot Cake….
The Caribbean Carrot Cake on page 134 of the Everyday Cookbook is one of my favourite cakes, so moist and tasty and with only 100g brown sugar for such a large cake, it’s healthy enough for lunchboxes (without the icing). Carrot cake is super easy to make when the Thermomix grates your carrots in 4…
