Thermomix cocktails

Caipirinha

Leave a Comment / Drinks

We’re on the verge of spring and summer and to be that means cocktails. This Thermomix cocktail, Caipirnha, says summer and chillaxing to me over and over again. Think of all those frozen cocktails you can make so easily with this super kitchen machine.

Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail, made with cachaça (sugarcane hard liquor), sugar and lime. Cachaça, also known as caninha, or any one of a multitude of traditional names, is Brazil’s most common distilled alcoholic beverage.

Have a little taste then tweak the acidity to your liking, adding more sugar if needed. Top the jug up with more crushed ice then tear in the mint leaves and give it a good stir.

Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri – a classic and popular fruity cocktail that is made with fresh or frozen sweet strawberries, rum, lime juice and some ice so easy to do in the Thermomix.

There’s a reason the Strawberry Daiquiri shows up at every summer barbecue, ladies night, and pool party! It’s cool, citrusy, and strawberry smooth.  A refreshingly good, eye-opening vibrant drink!

Thermomix Madeleines

Madeleines

This Thermomix Madeleine recipe could not be more delicious, or easier to make.

Madeleines are traditional little buttery sponge cakes from the Lorraine region in the north east of France. They have a distinctive scallop shell shape, ribbed on one side and smooth on the other, achieved by using a special moulded pan. Best results come from resting the batter before baking and then eating the little cakes straight from the oven while the edges are crisp. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, or lovely with a sorbet for a simple dessert.

Adam Simmond’s Rice Pudding

Leave a Comment / Dairy, Dessert, Noodle, Pasta & Rice, Vegan & Vegetarian

Whilst the Thermomix was made for the domestic market, it is loved, loved by chefs in the commercial industry. Adam Simmonds is one such chef and he kindly shared this recipe for rice pudding to demonstrators (now called Advisors) in early 2014. It was too good not to share.

This easy, simple and gorgeous rice pudding made in his restaurant as a base for something much for elaborate and deserving of his Michelin stars. In our household, I serve it with some fresh fruit and berries and it goes down equally well.

Japanese salad dressing

Japanese Salad Dressing

Leave a Comment / Salads, Snacks, Starters, Vegan & Vegetarian

OMG… I am missing Japan like crazy right now. This happens from time to time. You see, between the years I spent living in Japan and the fact that I have just come back from 2 weeks showing my family the highlights of this amazing country,  there is a real hold the land of the rising sun has on me. Japanese culture is so much a part of my life and the trip was so easy, even with my 6-year old as we eat so much Japanese food at home and when we go out too. Watch out for a plethora of Japanese inspired recipes over the next weeks but for today, I’ll give you an easy one to make, Japanese Salad Dressing. 

This Japanese Salad dressing really hits the spot. This is the ubiquitous restaurant style dressing you get on your starter salad with all your kaiseki meals in Japan. It’s delicious, super easy to make and, if you’re like me, it’s a comforting reminder of home.

Sticky Toffee Pudding

Leave a Comment / Baking (Sweet), Dessert

Sticky toffee pudding is a British classic and this recipe is everything a pudding should be. Sweet, sticky, dense but not too heavy.

I had this recipe for a long time before I even tried it as my kids are chocolate monsters are fear trying anything new. Thank goodness for playdates and other peoples kids visiting, as when Ella mentioned that her favourite dessert was sticky toffee pudding I just had to make it for her. Thank goodness for well-rounded kids who venture beyond chocolate and marshmallows. Ella absolutely loved this version and to my delight, said they were even better than the “Marks and Spencer version her mum buys”. So they pass they kid taste test too.

Chinese Five Spice

Leave a Comment / Gluten Free, Vegan & Vegetarian

Spices and spice mixtures ground fresh in your Thermomix will always give a better flavour than shop bought versions. This Chinese Five spice recipe is a useful store cupboard standby to add a hint of the Orient to your dishes and is used in the wonderful Asian Salad recipe (coming soon) on this blog too.

Five-spice powder is a spice mixture of five or more spices used predominantly in Chinese and Taiwanese cuisine and also used less commonly in other Asian and Arabic cookery. Five-spice powder is used for cocktails as well.

Piccalilli

Piccalilli is an English interpretation of South Asian pickles, a relish of chopped pickled vegetables and spices; regional recipes vary considerably.

This Thermomix recipe is the best piccalilli recipes I have tried; pile it onto your plate with a ploughman’s or spice up ham and colcannon with a generous dollop.

Cream scones

Quick and Easy Cream Scones

Uncategorised

I’m delighted to have my friend and fellow Thermomix owner, Kerry join me as a guest blogger. Here’s her family recipe for cream scones.

I grew up in the bush in Australia and I learnt to bake at a very young age. My grandmother and my Mum would make amazing scones when I was younger, and I remember many local show days and CWA cookery events where scones very similar to the ones below were served with home made jam and freshly whipped cream. I loved them so much (and I still do!) that I’ve adapted and tweaked their original Australian recipe for my TM5. 

These scones are super quick and easy and can be ready in just over 15 minutes if you need a quick morning or afternoon tea treat when visitors pop by unexpectedly! They’re beautifully fluffy and they work every time!
