Son and Heir is feeling pasta deprived. Or so he says. My freezer is bereft of bolognaise. I did find yet another small chunk of topside though. So tonight we will have pasta with a simple ragu. I’m waiting for the Lil Miss to wake so we can go food shopping so vegetables will be […]

Kinder meeting tonight, work tomorrow morning and night, a trillion jobs to do. No time to cook a time consuming meal. One thing is for sure though, the Bread Winner had a nasty take on last week’s cold and I want the house to have a big vegetable infusion. The result, vegetable curry. Less than […]
Or kinder, or work, or creche, or whatever else requires you to start wracking your brains about packing lunches. Lunch is my least liked meal of the day. I don’t heart thinking about it. I try and avoid thinking about it by having a checklist of ideas floating around the kitchen. I thought I’d share […]
Well that was either a quiick hiatus or a premature announcement. Actually I just found a scrap of paper with a curry on it that I made the other night and forgot to post. I made this entirely in the thermomix, then removed it, cooked the rice in the thermomix and reheated the curry in […]
The pantry raid (phew, lucky I didn’t leave that ‘r’ out), continues tonight with a recipe I’ve been meaning to try for ages plus a sauce cobbled together out of leftovers. I generally do my supermarket shopping at a wonderful IGA, Leo’s. Apart from not belonging to Coles or Woolworths which is a major plus […]
I did this with filo pastry simply because I had some that needed using up. Of course you could use shortcrust but I actually preferred the lightness of filo in the warmer weather. I served it with mash and salad. Like most thermomix meals it’s super quick and easy to prepare. Thermomix Steak and Kidney […]
As usual, we’re out of bread. I rather fancy something pita like for lunches tomorrow so I thought I would see what I could devise in the thermomix. Thermomix Oat & Spelt Pita Bread 4 1/2 cups freshly ground spelt flour (wheat would work but would probably need a fraction more water) 2 cups oats […]
OK, maybe not the exact, precise, traditional beurre blanc but it’s the way I threw it together and served it over lovely firm white fish fillets with a green salad. Lovely hot night dinner. Thermomix Beurre Blanc Style Sauce Over Fish 4 firm white fish fillets. 40g butter 2 cloves garlic 2 shallots 1/3 cup […]
