I adapted this one from a recipe in the Australian Gourmet Traveller Annual Cook book that snuck it’s way into my shopping trolley recently. Leave yourself about an 1 1/2 hours to whip this little number up. Gosh it was good. Double Baked Leftover Roast Vegetable Souffle 100g butter plus more for greasing 1 small […]
I really enjoyed the barbecued kebabs I made the other night so I thought I’d whip up a vegetarian version. Vegetarian Kebabs corn on the cob, sliced into small pieces, firm tofu, cut into large cubes eggplant, cut into large cubes, salted for 10 minutes, rinsed and drained, zucchini, cut into think slices, mushrooms, stems […]
It was a coldish and wet day yesterday. Comfort food day. We’ve been having so many salads lately I really wanted a good old vegetable fest. Vegetable Gratin 2 carrots, thinly sliced 1 sweet potato, thinly sliced big chunk pumpkin, thinly sliced 3 potatoes, thinly sliced bunch asparagus, woody ends removed and cut into 1 […]
Day Nine in Sydney and a continuation of Holiday Meal Planning. Today is all about cleaning out the fridge, using everything up and making sure we have snacks for the car. We’re leaving early tomorrow morning to drive home. I miss my dog, my thermomix and my sewing machine but with the exception of Bronte, […]
I found a recipe ages ago and put it aside thinking I might make some as Christmas gifts. I didn’t get around to that but I came across the recipe again last weekend and thought I’d make a batch for Christmas Day nibbles and general snacking. I won’t re-write the recipe as I made it […]
This week got away from me a bit in the kitchen department which meant I had a selection of vegetables that really needed to be cooked today. Plus I had some odd remnants of cheese. Cheese and Vegetable Strudel A few stray snow peas A few stray green beans 1 head broccoli 1 potato wedge […]
This is a Charmaine Solomon recipe, I’ve just adjusted it for use in the Thermomix. Much easier to make this way. In the pre-Thermomix days, the kneading stage used to drive me to distraction. Cheese Koftas in Creamy Sauce 2 litres full cream milk 60 ml lemon juice 3 tablespoons coriander, finely chopped 2 tablespoons […]
This is a quick and easy dish I threw together tonight when I suddenly realised I was running very late. Not a true 10 minute meal as it takes a little longer to cook but certainly less than 10 minutes work in the thermomix. Moroccan Style Vegetable and Couscous 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 onions […]
After last night’s disasters, the stuffed mushrooms are back on track. First, make the faux ricotta. Not ricotta as it’s not made of whey. Really just soft cheese curds. Once you’ve tasted this you will never want to eat supermarket ricotta again. Faux Ricotta. 4 lites milk pinch sea salt 1.3 cup white vinegar Heat […]
Mexican is always a big hit around here. Using black beans however requires forethought and planning. Unless of course you use the tinned variety but I prefer to use dried. Semi-Refried Black Bean Tacos 1 cup black beans 1 banana chilli, sliced 1 small red chilli, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 1/2 400g […]
