Black Forest Ham and Swiss Cheese Danish...?
Of course I had to acknowledge in a foodie way, my upcoming trip to the land of Cheese and Chocolat which is fast approaching. I have so much to do between now and Saturdays departure to Zurich, that I feel slightly ill, and yet, dear reader, here I am, only...
Citrus Butter/Curd
Based on my penchant for all things lemon, this was an attempt to branch out to some of my other faves; citrus in general. I had a bowl full of tangelos, oranges, limes and lemons, just begging to show up in a stunning recipe. I subsequently used this curd through some whipped cream...
Breakfast Parfait
SO the question is; is the plural ‘Parfait’ or ‘Parfaits’? I’m going with Parfait…its all that high school French kicking in. This is less recipe and more suggestion, though of course I highly recommend another recipe that goes with this, well, recipe!
I...
Persian Power Bars
I have been twiddling around with the idea of power bars for sometime as the ones you can buy are;
A) nasty tasting
B) bad for you in that they have masses of additives and
C) because I have a Thermomix and that is what I do!
Of course due to the masses of spare time at my disposal,...
Jaffa Risotto
Well it IS Easter after all. Slightly healthier than some of the other chocolate options around at the moment, and based on the use of very good ingredients, this should not scare you too much! Risotto is one of the most amazing canvases to which you can add flavour after flavour…and...
Lime Buttered Pretzel
You know I love a good bread recipe, and never short on food ideas, I am happy to say that I found a couple of fellow bloggers on the same wave length for these ones; Pink Parsley did an excellent recipe adapted from the now extinct Gourmet Magazine and added Jalepeno Mustard…terrific...
Maple and Cranberry Toasted Crunch
Muesli, Granola, Floor Sweepings, Cereal, Crumble…the names go on. My husband has a (dare I say it?) fetish for a crunchy start to his day…or for that matter would prefer a bowl of this with icy cold milk for dessert on most nights. Not for him the rich,...
Puffy Breakfast Quiche
I lay awake dreaming of food often these days, its a nasty habit and I need to stop it…but this is the amazing result of one such food dreaming…must have been hungry I guess! I am sure you will enjoy this one, and so fast! Easily made with or without the Thermomix,...
Golden Brioche
Eat Me Eat Me
The Love Affair I have with bread apparently should stop or at least slow down. According to an Ion Cleanse I had this last week anyway. Not sure I am completely convinced, but I have stopped eating all gluten for a week, and I must say, I have more energy, so that can’t...
Well we all know it’s coming…the dreaded burnt toast with a scraping of butter, some aging fruit salad with bits of skin still on, a cold, slightly undercooked egg, swimming in bacon grease, and possibly a lukewarm coffee or milo! Yes, Mother’s Day breakfast in bed. Sit up and ENJOY!
OR:...
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!
