Chicken and Lime Soup
On my recent travels which included a pit stop in Houston, I tasted a lot of fresh, delicious Mexican food and this soup was inspired by one made by my dear friend Patti. Unable to source Hominy in Australia (not yet anyway) I played around with just fresh corn and I must say that...
Yep a throw down, as officially defined by Jill on Great Cooks Community HERE, is not a contest so much as a last day of the month recipe that we all cook and post, and this month, (you lucky readers!!) the selected food is Chicken Enchiladas. Following reading a recipe for fresh tortillas also from...
Thanks for all your kind wishes for my ‘little’ boy who is well on the road to recovery and happens to be six feet 3! It has been harrowing, but educational and we are happy that all is going to be well!
As he left for work yesterday morning, my DH asked hopefully if I was putting a blog...
As promised, the Chicken Pad Thai recipe! And FYI I have been taking lots of photos of other stuff that is on it’s way…maybe I should call this blog “Get Stuffed”! Any thoughts?
NEED:
1/2 chicken breast per person
4 tablespoons commerical Pad Thai paste (available most Asian...
I use prawns or chicken for these and as they are done in the steam oven they keep their shape and are easy to serve. If you are not using a steam oven, be careful not to over steam them because the zuchinni will fall apart quite easily if over done! If you are going to steam them on top of a boiling...
Traditionally dry chicken breast never tasted so good as when it is done in the steam oven. For those of you without a steam oven, consider using a bain marie in your traditional oven…you will never go back! This recipe is so adaptable for all tastes. Just use your imagination with the fillings,...
If you haven’t steamed chicken in your Thermomix, this summer is the time to start. You get the most amazing tender results and they are stunning for all sorts of salads. For best results, slice each chicken breast into 4 pieces and place into Varoma dish and tray. Place boiling water into Thermomix...
Chicken with Orange Chili Dressing
OK, I know the last post was a wintery soup option…and this is your summery salad option…but the sun was shining today and citrus is fantastic at this time of year!
The dressing itself can go with all sorts of cold meats and salads…don’t limit yourself...

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!
