HOLY GUACOMOLE BATMAN!

HOLY GUACOMOLE BATMAN!
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...

TUTTI FRUTTI CLAFOUTI

TUTTI FRUTTI CLAFOUTI
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...

LEMON HARVEST – TOP TEN

LEMON HARVEST – TOP TEN
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,...

BROWNIE TART – STEAM IT UP!

BROWNIE TART – STEAM IT UP!
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...

STICK TO THE RIBS BEEF

STICK TO THE RIBS BEEF
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...

SPIN-MY-ACH and CHOKE-ME-ARTI!
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? ...

THE TWO R’s – RHUBARB AND RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE

THE TWO R’s – RHUBARB AND RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE
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...
