For Food’s Sake
The BIG BOOK invite…its offical!
CrioBru Tortillas
CrioBru tortillas with Beef Chilli
Well kids, you have heard me raving on about a lot of stuff lately (well, longer than lately…and yes, perhaps even wittering on and on and on about stuff!!) The BIG BOOK is here…its out and...
Inca Berry Cinnamon Scroll Loaf
I discovered Inca berries at my local whole food supplier…and I am LOVING them…they are a tart little version of a raisin, sour, filled with little seeds, quite palatable on their own…and I discovered quite good for you…well, very good for you actually! I have...
Curry Filled Vetkoek
Vetkoek Dough
You are all on a new years diet kick…is that right?
How about you save this one then for a rash day of calorie consumption? This recipe is in honor of my South African friends everywhere, but in particular my friend and business partner Mandy, without whom I would...
Cheesey Sable Bites
I love a good sable, and normally think of them as sweet or as the base of a cheesecake or tart…so these are a savoury take on a sable. Crumbly, buttery, little bites of yum, they are perfect for the Christmas entertaining platter. Get out the dried fruit, a few nuts, some good...
Crio Bru Rye Bread
Look, its not about the chocolate…it really isn’t. (Not this time!) I remember eating the most divine bread at restaurants in the USA on occasion that was a deep brown rye, without the expected dryness of a whole grain. Fragrant, soft, yeasty scented small rolls, that were...
Aish Bel Lahm
Look, lets not beat around the bush….this is Middle Eastern Pizza…or Gozleme, without the folded bit….amongst other things. This is designed to feed a small army….so I suggest if there is only two of you, invite the neighbours for a street party or at the very least, get the kids...
Asagio and Beef Burgers.
Yes, its the weekend. Back in the day we used to have Saturday Burger Days….and dad was the cook of these burgers…the kids are almost gone, and Saturday night of all nights is the quiet night at ours…but this won’t tax you too much if you want a weekend break, but...
Seeded Salami Cheese Scrolls
I am frantically busy with all sorts of little projects that will soon be coming your way, so this is an oldie but a goldie that I have drummed up from the deep dark recesses of my files…you will enjoy…nothing earth shattering, just wholesome, delicious, feed a family,...
Buttermilk Yeast Waffles
You know I love yeast…and now, I cannot go past fresh yeast ever since watching Dani Valent use it in one of the recipes for her nearly here Wunderbook In the Mix. The thermomix is so perfect for using fresh yeast, don’t let it scare you…37°C is just perfect to warm...
Cultured Butter….
I think of homemade butter as cultured anyway…you know what I mean…elegant, delicious, a little high brow…but ‘Cultured’ butter (as in fermented butter)…is completely different. Slightly sour, creamy, delicately flavoured…yes, cultured indeed! I had this question...
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!
