Yorkshire Pudding

Leave a Comment / Baking (Savoury), Uncategorised

Yorkshire pudding is an English food made from batter consisting of eggs, flour, and milk or water. It is a versatile food that can be served in numerous ways depending on the choice of ingredients, the size of the pudding and the accompanying components of the dish.

As a first course it can be served with onion gravy. For a main course it is often served with beef and gravy and is part of the traditional Sunday roast, but can also be filled with foods such as bangers and mash to make a meal. Jam and sugar can be added instead if served as a dessert (which I personally didn’t know about until writing this post and rest assured will be trying out for you …to make sure.

One of the reasons I wanted to include this in the recipe section is the ease of making it in the Thermomix. Yorkshire pudding is definitely a faffy recipe with having to weigh both wet and dry ingredient usually. The beauty of using a Thermomix is that everything can be weighed easily into the TM bow, mixed and poured straight into the trays to bake. No mess, no faff.

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

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

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

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.
