Cooking with seasonal ingredients is something I always try to do. It gives our dishes the best possible flavour because the produce is at its peak when it is in season. It also means that we can (generally) source items from our local area. This was one of […] 
I never thought I’d own a Thermomix, let alone actually be doing in-home demonstrations and loving being an Independent Consultant for the product. Why? You might ask. Sometimes I tell my story about how I started in this business during my demos. Briefly, I owned every kitchen appliance known to […] 
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 […] 
Some time ago I made a strawberry and lemon tart in my food processor. Crisp and buttery pastry, tangy smooth filling, it was the kind of dessert that both G & I love. Unfortunately it didn’t score too highly on the G scale (nor with me really) and the remainder […] 
I’m constantly amazed at how my Thermomix makes the most difficult cooking creations so easy. A few weeks ago I decided to adapt a recipe for a steamed sweet potato puddings. They were delicious and so much easier with the Thermomix. One of the other things that little […] 
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 […] 
It was my Birthday a few months ago. As I get older the actual celebration of a Birthday on “the day” means a little less. However, because I have lived away from my immediate family for so long I still get very excited by receiving cards in the mail to mark the special occasion. […] 
I have always found it quite fascinating how our taste buds change over the years. And I have often wondered, is it because of age, because we experience different things or simply because we are more open to trying something new? No matter what the reason, it means we can […] 
Like many other households, winter tends to be the time of year when comfort food hits our table. Dishes like curry, pasta, casserole and all those heart warming things that make you feel snug when it is cold outside. And while I love all that winter brings at times I […] 
Even after many years of cooking, gaining valuable experience and improving my technical skills I have never been able to cook a light and fluffy pancake. Don’t ask me why. Maybe it’s the recipes I have chosen in the past or the ingredients I have paired together OR maybe it is simply […] 
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 […] |
