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...
Sticky Pork Noodle Salad
This is one of the popular offerings in the sold out Thai Thai Again cooking classes we ran this year….and without a doubt one of our family faves. Fragrant, spicy, pretty easy…don’t be put off by the ingredients list…not bad at all really. Hit up your local Asian supermarket...
Fresh Rice Noodles, ready for cutting
WELL, I was going to save this little treasure until such times as I had finished running around the countryside with the ‘Thai Thai Again’ cooking class, something that still has a lotta life left in it…but then over at that amazing place called the...
Slim Noodles, or Shiratake Noodles
I have a friend, a very slim friend, who works out twice a day most days, drinks Crio Bru like it is going out of style for its appetite supressant qualities, and always tells me I need to do a low carb Thermomix cookbook…(any takers on that idea??) AND no, my very...
Instagram Minestrone….don’t you love it? (Instagram that is!)
It’s certainly wintery soup weather down under….if you are north of the equator, just make a mental note of this one for when the winds are howling, the snow is on the ground and you just want to curl up in front of the fire with...
Instagram pic Pasta with Salmon…not bad for an iPhone!
I just LOVE home made pasta, in fact, once you have made and eaten your own pasta, it makes the store bought variety a very ordinary experience. Pasta is so quick to make it in the Thermomix, that seriously, you should give it a go! (Today!) Plan...
Pasta Carbonara
It was bound to happen. In fact, I am amazed it didn’t happen sooner. Upon announcing that I was making pasta carbonara tonight for dinner, my (16yr old) son was pretty excited…why I wonder did I not do this recipe before?? Its a puzzle, but thanks to Julianne Block for asking the...
Chorizo and Chick Pea Spaghettini
Another dinner on the run at this time of year (and especially for those of you who are all waiting on the return of Dinner Spinner to the store…there on Monday guys…buy up big)! Throw it in, and rush off to decorate, wrap, drop kids off to something, pick kids...
Mac 'N' Cheese (minus the Mac!)
My son the movie maker, went mad with his iPhone camera and made a little movie about each of us on our recent ‘holiday’. Please remember I was not wearing a stitch of makeup!

The short version of my big birthday trip is as follows; Jetstar plane...
P8...Eight Flavours Pesto Pasta Salad
Now it is the pasta itself that has eight flavours…and if Adriano can call his amazing one flavoured Vanilla Thriller a V8, then I figure I can call this the P8 as I’m guessing the salad has a whole lot more flavours than eight, (given the pasta has its...
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!
