Crio Bru and Heilala Vanilla Milk Shake
I love getting little foodie pressies in the mail and recently Heilala Vanilla sent me a huge bottle of their wonderful Vanilla Bean Syrup to try out. AMAZING! Such a ‘whack it in your face’ hit of vanilla sweetness that I found myself overdosing...
Berry Good Smoothie
A big part of the pleasure of doing what I do is that lots of lovely people send me yummy stuff to try…and this recipe is all about some superfood Acai Berry Blend powder that was sent to me by the amazing Aussie company, Nutra Organics. (As well as some other goodies like Maca...
Superfood Crio Bru Instant icecream.
Happy New Year, Happy New You! (My personal theme, once I get past January 12th)
As we have all been sweltering down under all through Christmas, and as my daughters wedding is at the end of next week (YAY) I have to confess the blog is the last thing on my list….but...
Frozen Blueberry and Yoghurt Bites
In the feeble hope that the nice weather is here to stay (last weekend we turned our heater back on and had blankets strewn throughout the theatre room!!) I am willing summer here by prepping and eating summer style…so this is a salute to that. I’m not...
Kaffir Lime Panna Cotta pic by JulieO from FT
Well kids, its not often that I write something other than a recipe. Recipes are simple, pretty well a done deal once they have hit my table and/or stomach, and a no brainer…for me at least.
But in the scheme of things, there are a few constants...
Salted Caramel Sauce with the best bought ice cream around.
Believe it or not, I like to cook less on the weekends, but at the same time, I still have to produce something of note each and every Sunday when I traditionally have the entire gang over for dinner. The first thing my eldest son says as he...
Dairy Free, Soy Free, Sugar Free, banana choc milk
Phew! With a title like that you may be thinking; Is it flavour free as well?? That would have been my thought exactly…but thanks to the brilliance of Thermal blenders everywhere, the answer to that question is NO! Ever since my new found love for...
Hey La La Vanilla Ice Cream (egg free)
Heilala Hamper….be in it to win it!
Well, well, well….the BOOK is out! (Have you been under a rock?) And if you don’t have a copy yet (why not?) you will notice there are quite a few Heilala vanilla recipes in there. My Hey La La of choice is usually the...
Instant Banana Choc Chip Ice cream
It was 40ºC in the shade today and I sat outside for about 2 hours having a business lunch in the beautiful Casa Bianchi in Mt.Hawthorn…but seriously, I have never been so hot….and this was the only antidote I could come up with in a hurry. I love the simplicity,...
Vice Cream with Crio Beans
I saw this idea over on one of my fave blogs to read when I have a little time to relax, Not Quite Nigella. I changed it up a little because it was so totally perfect for your fave kitchen appliance and mine! I even made it as a Thermomix demo at my book launch, which incidentally...
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!
