Healthy lunchbox snacks are always in high demand around this neck of the woods. This recipe is from the lovely Paula of Mixing it up in Hong Kong and when I saw the list of ingredients, I knew I had to try it. Mixing it up in Hong Kong is one of the Thermomix blogs…
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…

I think its even easier than the Easy Chocolate Cake in the Everyday Cookbook as the melted butter is substituted…
A Beautiful Roast Marinade
This would have to be my favourite roast marinade, for beef or lamb. Rosemary and juniper berries are the star ingredients, and though usually thought to be a good accompaniment to lamb, they work just as well with beef. Juniper berries are available from the spice section of the supermarket and I love them. Gin and…
Winner, winner :: Chicken dinner
