Yep! I’m a Daring Baker and this is my first entry..
Profiteroles and strawberries
MY MISSION; (And I chose to accept it…)
1. The dough used for the eclairs must be a pâte à choux from the recipe given below.
2. Keep one chocolate element in the challenge. The recipe below is for a chocolate...
Yeah I know, but it got your attention right???? I visited a whole food supermarket this week and amongst other goodies I bought a medley of beautiful peppercorns, some coriander (cilantro) and of course I am still working with those lemons from last week…I can almost see the bottom of the bowl...
OH YUM…yes this was worth every calorie and so quick and homey on a cold winter night at our house. I had to fend the kids off with a camera bag to get the photo before they devoured it and unfortunately for my waist line (and seemingly shrinking jeans) I had another helping! YIKES this Thermomix...
My lovely sister in law Cati brought me a whole box of beautiful lemons the other day…LOVE lemons, they rate highly on my list for sweet and savory recipes and there isn’t a week when I don’t use a lemon in my cooking. But sometimes I have to pay for the darn things! OUCH! Anyway,...
Haven’t done a steam oven recipe for a while and this was unbelievable! There are fresh early strawberries around at the moment, so they are a perfect pair…with the obligatory dollop of fresh whipped cream, naturally! This was better the next day, stone cold, rather than steamy warm, but...
The most amazing rolls you have ever tasted can be sourced right here, right now. Thanks to my friend Megan (who also cooks at Kleenmaid) I have the secret recipe, which of course is now no secret…and even if you have never tried making bread before, this is a great way to begin a journey with...
I went on a mission to find pork ribs at my local butcher wholesaler. (There is a great one near me!) They were twice the price as the beef ribs, so guess what? This recipe is for beef ribs, and I must say, that although I only got one, they were well worth the effort. In fact tonight I repeated the...
So I taste this amazing dip in the States right? But it’s from Costco…and they don’t do a recipe blog, so once again, I’m trying to put stuff together to repeat the taste….Lucky for me I have the Thermomix, the food processor of the Gods….so should be easy yeah? ...
I had a great dessert at lunch the other day and decided to try and replicate it, and if I say so myself…mine is better. (No-one else would say it, so I had to!) I had intended on a rhubarb clafoutis after reading a great recipe for Cherry Clafouti on Foodbuzz, but this idea took over after the...
Tenina Hmmn, liking the sound of a licorice all sort jelly…great idea....
Lilli Hmmmm, have just been searching for a licorice ice cream after a girlfriend has made ...
Tenina Thanks Megan…(she blushes…feeling a bit porky and not at all like the poster child fo...
Megan Oh T, so glad i tried this stuff, its tasty (i do add a sachel of Natvia) but i notic...
Always crazy about food since she fed the neighborhood kids that first mud pie, (seasoned with a good dash of vegemite, a childhood Aussie fave!!) she now has a tribe of her own that she happily feeds whenever she can get them to sit down long enough. Her culinary experience ranges from Bangers ‘N Mash in London long ago…(and far far away) to attempts at Chinese banquets for her University ‘roomies’ in the USA to more recent culinary holidays to Singapore and Vietnam and now several years as a food consultant, recipe developer/writer and food eater and dreamer. Obsession can be a wonderful thing!
Ever resourceful and always hungry, and now the proud owner of a Thermomix, she can whip up a delicious storm in minutes, given half a chance. It is on her blogs that she shares her passion for food and the perfect cooking of it!
Professionally she works to bring to two major Australian Appliance companies, the best use of said appliances in the form of recipes. Always up for a personal demonstration, plans are afoot for a cooking tour in 2009, so look out for a Thermomix class near you! She can now live without her microplane for the first time in a cooking lifetime, she still can’t live without her Thermomix and she certainly can’t live without her blog comments…so make her day and leave a note!
