Almond Peach and Apricot Tart
You may have noticed…I have been putting up a lot of recipes based on the Dried Apricot Preserves. Its just that I am down to two kids at home and I have so much of the stuff, I need it out of the fridge…to make room for new future creations. No one is complaining...
Oh What A Tart!
Never one to shy away from a tart…(you know that by now don’t you?) the beautiful strawberries that are out and about at the moment just beckon to me; So another tart. No apologies…suck it up…its tough, but someone has to keep you going to the gym! You’ll thank me…you...
Asparagus and Walnut Tart with Ricotta
To say that I love nuts (in a food way) is a small understatement and of course, now that I have glutemate laden walnuts in Umami Paste, I am on to them….in a big way! I like using them as a fat replacment in biscuits or shortbread, and now I have the whole Umami...
Greek Cheese Triangles.
Well having just popped over the Melbourne and back (for some GREAT classes…thanks guys!) and having bought one of these pastries at the South Melbourne Market, I thought I can do that…(dare I say, even better than…??) And then of course there was the whole cheese judging...
Blueberry Maple Custard Tart
Well I made it…yes the tart, but I made it in the City to Surf…and it was fun. Not so bad after all, and great to catch up with a bunch of Thermomix girls…crazy bunch. I admit I was glad to park it on the train on the way home, I am not as young as I used to be! Thoughts...
Herbed Caramelized Garlic Tart
Long ingredient list, but don’t be afraid; (insert evil laugh here) There are a few processes, but you could cheat on the pastry with ready rolled puff pastry, but no complaints if you cheat…K? There is nothing quite as sublime as homemade puff pastry, once you...
Feijoa and Strawberry Scones
Well Feijoa’s are nearly done and dusted, you may still find a few in speciality green grocers. They are a delicately fragrant fruit that are basically a guava…and they go really well with berries, so this is a little take on that. Great for morning or afternoon tea,...
Vanilla Scented Citrus Cheesecake Flan
A tart by any other name is…well a flan, but hey, I do a great tart! My friend is having an afternoon tea tomorrow and as I am always looking for people to eat what I make…(can you believe that??) I decided it was an opportunity for a blog post, which between...
Quick Pumpkin, Feta and Caramelised Onion Tart
WOW, what a week. I have left Thermomix Australia as their first ever Recipe Developer…and now I am starting my own business running Advanced Thermomix Cooking Classes….(Yes that deserves capitals don’t you think?) To stay abreast of all developments...
Check out the crust!
Well, this was a revelation: I had seen a recipe for this in a Thermomix publication, (which I still cannot find!) but never tried it. Then of course with my recent travels to the beautiful part of Europe from which the Flammkuchen originates, how could I not try it? I LOVED it…love...
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!
