I remember my first few weeks of owning a Thermomix. Like many people, I was unsure about how it really worked or what I had to do. My feelings were a mixture of fear and excitement all rolled into one. I was so pleased to have this amazing machine on […] 
I’m sure, like many other people, I find the beginning of a new year a time for reflection over the year(s) past. I like to recap on lessons learnt, think about how I want the next year to be and sometimes even have a loose plan of action. 30 December 2012 | Category: Dairy free, Dips, Gluten free, Healthy, Make your own, Paleo, Quick & easy, Raw, Snacks, Thermomix, Vegan, Vegetarian | 10 comments | | | 
I was flicking through my recipes recently and noticed that everything I have posted in the past few months has been something sweet, a slice, cake or dessert. And as much as I LOVE all of these things I thought it was time for something a little different. 1 December 2012 | Category: Dairy free, Eggs, Gluten free, Healthy, Make your own, Sauces, Sides, Thermomix, Vegetables, Vegetarian | Leave a comment | | | 
Lately the weather in Perth has been a little wild and wet causing me to rug up and wish for summer. Given that the warmer months are still a little way off I thought I’d inject our lives with a little “sunshine” by making something that I love to eat […] 
Recently I’ve been varying our diet a little (much to G’s dismay) by trying to get a few more veggies and leafy greens into each meal. That includes breakfast and dessert. And although my banana, chocolate breakfast shake, including a huge handful of spinach (I know it sounds bad), seemed […] 
With the season starting to move towards winter G and I have both suffered with a slight sore throat and minor head cold. So I’ve been thinking about how I can give our immune system a little boost. Recently I’ve been reading about the health benefits of Kale. […] 
When some of my friends first found out that I had purchased a Thermomix, they couldn’t quite believe it. They felt that I was such a “cook” that I would love the process of cooking and not want to “cheat”. I must say, I don’t feel that using the Thermomix […] 
When I think about what we ate before purchasing our Thermomix it was quite different to what we eat now. At the time I used to think we had quite a healthy diet. Lots of fruit and vegetables, red meat a few times a week, chicken and never enough fish […] 
I may have mentioned before that making desserts is one of my favourite things to do in the kitchen and looking at my last few Newsletters I seem to do a lot of it :). Clients often ask me if I actually eat the food I create because they think […] 
I’ve always been somewhat creative in the kitchen. Sometimes this creativity has served me well and others not so much. Yes, I have had my fair share of disasters in the kitchen but I’m not going to share them right now :). When I decided to develop this recipe I […] 
As mentioned in previous posts, eating a healthy breakfast is important to both G & I. In winter we usually enjoy a bowl of porridge and in the warmer months we both like some kind of cereal. I’ve been making quite a bit of bircher recently but G wanted a change. Normally […] 
During my classes I have often been asked what I thought of the Thermomix when I first saw it. My response has always been the same. “An amazing machine, can do so many things but I wouldn’t buy one”. When I was asked why I would never be a Thermomix owner my […] 
Sunday evenings are when we usually like to relax at home, especially if we’ve had a busy weekend working on projects or out socialising. This weekend I’ve been working around the house partially completing my annual spring clean (which I should have done months ago) and G has been dedicated to […] 
I’ve been making my own bread for many years. My Dad inspired me to start baking it because whenever I used to go and visit my parents he would bake a fresh loaf (something he normally did on a weekly basis) because he knew how much I loved it. Initially I used […] 
G and I have a little girl in our lives who is very special to us. She makes us laugh, makes us cry (I was a weeping mess when I had to watch her go into surgery recently) and brings immense joy to our home. It was her […] 
I have mentioned in my recent posts that G and I have been making a very conscious effort to eat healthy and exercise a little more. This includes making sure we consume lots of fruits and vegetables into our daily meals, something that we have always been […] 
When you are passionate about cooking, read as many recipes as I do and cook as often as I cook you tend to learn rather quickly there are certain ingredients that just seem to belong together. I associate it with any other relationship. Sometimes, two people […] 
When I was a child I was considered one of the ‘weird kids’ for many reasons. I was always on time, I liked my teachers, I loved sports and I ate things that other kids wouldn’t even look at. Things like lambs fry, cabbage and brussels […] 
Being a self confessed food and cooking addict means that I have several vices such as most pieces of obscure kitchen equipment known to man; too many cookbooks to fit on any bookshelves in existence and a substantial collection of food pornography in the form of several magazine collections. It is […] 
In some of my previous posts I have mentioned the generosity of friends and colleagues when it comes to serving my passion for cooking. Several of them grow their own fruit and vegetables and often I am the fortunate recipient of any excess goods that they may have. One […] |
