Ella (my eldest, 11yrs old) often cooks dinner on a Sunday night. Last week it was for Mother’s Day. On a Sunday night we have time to play in the kitchen, and if I have had a Thermomix demonstration that day, I am very happy for the night off. The Thermomix is a great tool to teach children…
Nut Butter – Almond and Cashew
A quick recipe for nut butter. This is great if you have anyone allergic to peanuts but not other nuts. I made this while my bread was toasting! How quick is that? 150g almonds 150g cashews (mine were roasted, but they don’t have to be) 1 tbs approx of oil, I used macadamia pinch of cetltic/himalayan…
Spanish Style Chicken
This is a tasty all in one dish, using your Varoma. Everyone loves to use their Varoma to create and all-in-one dish, especially when it only takes 15 minutes to prepare and included loads of vegetables. In this recipe, the chicken thigh fillets are cooked whole to preserve the texture. For those of you who…
Shredded Chicken in the Thermomix
OK, so last post I promised some ideas on what to do with the leftover shredded chicken. Firstly, I must tell you that this chicken is great to freeze. I freeze it into smaller quantities so that it is easier to defrost just what you need. From the ideas below, you can see how handy it is to have…
Iced Chocolate

Iced Chocolate – serves two (quantities can be doubled) 1 tbsp cocoa 1 tbsp raw sugar 100ml water (MC filled to the…
Short Order Eggs
Eggs are a favourite in our house. They are my easy, healthy, go-to dinner for when life has gotten a little too crazy. The kids also love them for snacks and lunchboxes. Ella (11yrs) and Kate (9yrs) now cook them for themselves in the Thermomix. Each of my three kids go through phases of liking different eggs. …
You Scream, I Scream….
We all scream for Ice Cream in this house. Yes sir! And it doesn’t get much better than homemade icecream. Last summer I borrowed an ice cream machine from my brother. The idea of making my own dairy creations sounded so good, and it was. But making the creme anglaise, that was not my favourite part. …
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…
Mrs Field’s Chocolate Chip Cookies – Thermomix Easy
Yes, Mrs Field’s cookies in the Thermomix. So easy, and so yum! The secret ingredient to make them oh-so-Mrs-Field-like is the ground oatmeal. And, of course, your Thermomix does just the job! My five year old and I made this batch this afternoon. We used Nuttelex for our batch as my little man is dairy…
Tuna Dip :: the dairy free – low fat option
Every week we make up a yummy Thermomix dip. It’s great for lunchboxes as a spread in sandwhiches and wraps (with or without other fillings) or in snack containers with crackers and vegetables. One of our favourites is the Tuna dip (page 50, Everyday cookbook). But…this option isn’t dairy free and so it means my dairy-intolerant Eddie…
