Panettone

Another Christmas recipe. Christmas is a time when my Thermomix goes into overdrive. There’s so much cooking, baking, and eating during the holidays, having a Thermomix which saves time is a real-time saver in my household. It’s one of the reasons I have 2 Thermomixes not just one, but that’s another story.

This fruited bread is an Italian Christmas specialty. Making it yourself is very easy with your Thermomix and will cost you a fraction of the price of a bought panettone, and it will taste fresh and delicious. Lovely as a gift. Leftovers make a wonderful bread and butter pudding.

Carrot Cake

I often get asked for the most common cake I bake in my Thermomix and hands down, its the Carrot Cake recipe. I try and justify that baking with carrots ticks off one of our 5-a-day, but I think I’m only secretly kidding myself. The reason I think a Thermomix version has to be included in any Thermomix blog is because of how easy it is to make.

I do a lot of charity work in my borough of Tower Hamlets and a few summers ago, we did some cooking classes for local children in the area. The workshops were over 6 weeks where we made easy snacks that children could make showing them how home cooked food had more nutritional value than fast food, sugar-loaded snacks. One week, we made carrot cake the traditional way – weighing, measuring, peeling, grating, mixing, more weighing, more mixing…it went on and on. My team and I were dumbfounded by the how long this recipe took making it by hand. My team are so used to Thermomix method that we had simply forgotten how time consuming anything else is. For those who want the easy, quick way without compromising taste, here it is.

Vanilla Cake

It’s Saturday night and my darling daughter has been unwell for a few days. She hasn’t eaten much and has requested cake. She’s gone to bed early. As a mother, I’m concerned and thought I’d surprise her in the morning with cake. Eggs, flour and sugar…at least she’ll eat something right?

Luckily, my Thermie to the rescue and so easy to make cupcakes without any thinking. Thanks to my lovely friend and former Thermomix Advisor, Kerry New, for the converted cake recipe from WI Australia. It’s so easy to convert your favourites into a Thermomix way and this one is my all time favourite. The plain vanilla version is gorgeous, but add a couple of teaspoons of coffee liqueur, its a coffee cake; the rind of a lemon or orange, it becomes an lemon or orange cake.

Edit: Yasmin is now 9 years old and the cake is still her favourite. Used for every birthday cake in the past 10 years. This cake is a real winner with all kids.

I was at the Good Food Show, Summer in the City this weekend gone and one of the show recipes we make is this Pea Veloute. It’s a delicious creamy soup is rich and wonderfully flavourful and the blending in the Thermomix is outstanding. The colour is amazingly fresh and vibrant. That’s why we do it at shows – it’s show-stopping.

Thermomix Sweet Beetroot Dip

So, I’ve started recently to get Riverford Organic vegetable deliveries and whilst I love the element of surprise, I do something have that, ‘Err, what do I do with these?’ feeling that comes about with random veges that I wouldn’t normally pick up from the supermarket myself.

Kale? Turnips? More leeks than I care to imagine? Beetroot?

Well, this week, my challenge was to use raw beetroot and I found the most delightful recipe which I have converted. Whether you roast it whole, blend into a classic soup or drink as juice like the Olympians do – beetroot is low in fat, full of vitamins and minerals and packed with powerful antioxidants – a health-food titan.

This Thermomix Sweet Beetroot dip is a wonderful alternative to hummus and delicious served with vegetables and crackers (kids eating them too) or add to lunch wraps or vegetarian tacos as a healthy relish/sauce.
