Smorgastarta Up Close and Personal!
Okey, so if you are on board with me here….this is what you are waiting for to finish off this creation. It really is impressive and a lot of fun to serve. There are a lot of ideas for decorating, I went with Swedish (sort of)...
Cultured Butter….
I think of homemade butter as cultured anyway…you know what I mean…elegant, delicious, a little high brow…but ‘Cultured’ butter (as in fermented butter)…is completely different. Slightly sour, creamy, delicately flavoured…yes, cultured indeed! I had this question...
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...
Cooked Honey Mayo (front) and Fresh Ranch Dressing (rear)
With all this hot weather, I confess I can really only cope with throwing a salad together, grilling or BBQ-ing some chook or beef and with occasional bread of some description thrown in (because bread IS the staff of life after all!) and is...
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...
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...
Well this post had to happen sooner or later…and I guess it’s officially sooner! I have managed to go through all my posts and look what I found! I could start a tart and pie shop, clearly! Any potential partners out there, send me a message and I’m ready to go!
First up in my self...
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,...
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...
Peel Me A Grape Dahling!
Apologies for my recent lack of posts! Life has taken over my life…(‘does it ever end?’ I ask myself.)
One of my sons is in hospital with Golden Staph (though I hardly think it rates a capitalization!) Nasty super bug and it’s really bugging...
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!
