We all need a handful of meals that we can pull together in the shortest of times. Of course, having a Thermomix in your kitchen makes that task very easy. It’s the nights when I am really pushed for time that I appreciate my Thermomix the most. This marinade is one that we use…
Baked Chicken with Lemon and Harissa
Are you entertaining this long weekend? Then this is your dish! It was well loved favourite of mine before Mr T arrived in our kitchen. Now that I’ve converted the recipe to the Thermomix, it’s even better. The quantities below make a double batch as it is a wonderful dish to freeze. Having a serve in the freezer means that inviting friends over…

Wontons by Ella

In this recipe, the chicken thigh fillets are cooked whole to preserve the texture. For those of you who…

Inspired
Last week I helped out at special cooking class run in conjuction with Cyndi O’Meara and Thermomix. I first saw Cyndi on a cooking show when my eldest was just a baby (eleven years ago now!). She was so inspirational that I ran out and bought her book straight away, so many of her principles…
San Fernando :: 3 ways

Tonight for dinner we are having Burritos with a San Fernando filling (page 112), adapted from My Way of Cooking. The recipe calls for one kilogram of chicken breast, which is way to much for our family, but…
