Matcha Golden Turmeric Latte

Leave a Comment / Breakfast & Brunch, Dairy, Drinks

This recipe for matcha golden turmeric latter provides a double boost of healthiness, using both matcha green tea and turmeric.

Turmeric, a golden spice traditionally only seen in Indian curries. Turmeric is being revamped in the form of golden turmeric lattes and as a delicious aromatic tea that is sweeping the globe too.Turmeric is a great addition to your diet as it contains lots of antioxidants and is also great for fighting inflammation. Studies have also found that turmeric’s active ingredient, curcumin helps to prevent Alzheimer’s by reducing inflammation in the brain.

I particularly like this matcha golden turmeric version as it combination with matcha. Matcha is packed with antioxidants including the powerful EGCg, boosts metabolism and burns calories, detoxifies effectively and naturally and is rich in fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins. It provides vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium and lowers cholesterol and blood sugar.

I love the taste of matcha having lived in Japan and can drink it one it’s own. But I’m very aware the taste is not for everyone so combining it with a golden turmeric latte and making it into a matcha golden turmeric latte, is truly the best of both worlds.

Try switching out one of your daily coffee’s for this latte as an added extra boost to your health. This recipe contains black pepper which helps the body to absorb the antioxidants in the turmeric. It is also the perfect drink to soothe a cold and to give you a boost of energy!

This Spinach Mousse with parmesan cream is light, rich and super tasty. This recipe works really well as a starter with some sautéd mushrooms or as a main course with a substantial salad and vegetables on the side. It’s a stunning dish.

This recipe was taught to me by Elias Pontikos, a former Advisor on my team. Elias was a greta foodie and did many commercial demonstrations in his time. Trained as a Chemical Engineer, he loved the Thermomix because of it’s high technical ability and he always converted the best recipes. I believe this one was originally by Simon Hopkinson.

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.

Mango Kulfi

4 Comments / Dairy, Dessert

Mango kulfi embodies India using one of my favourite fruits and desserts (ice cream) into one.

Kulfi a popular frozen dairy dessert from the Indian subcontinent. It is often described as “traditional Indian ice cream.” Whilst kulfi is usually frozen in moulds, so it does not require churning as conventional ice cream does but when making it at home you could use small paper takeaway cups or glasses. You could also freeze the kulfi in an ice tray or in paper cones as I have done.

Lassi is a popular traditional yogurt-based drink from the Indian Subcontinent. Lassi is a blend of yogurt, water, spices and sometimes fruit. My kids love lassi and its the perfect drink to get some dairy protein and fruit into them. This Thermomix recipe is super easy, and tastes delicious.
