Thai Flavors Chilli Jam
I have a little chilli bush and honestly, at this time of the year, I can barely keep up and still they ripen like little candle flames on the bush. They do look so appealing (especially if you have just returned from Phuket and a week of crazy hot food)!
So a little Thai flavored...
Watercress, Brocollini and Pomegranate Salad
You know me and fruit in salad…I think my kids have even stopped complaining about fruit showing up in a savoury salad because they are either;
A) resigned to the fact,
B) used to it or
C) enjoy it themselves now.
Colleagues are not so good with it, but...

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!
