It's been a blast, but now it's time to retire...
Thanks again to my wonderful customers and followers. I'll continue with Thermo related content here. 😁

Oh yum! These Brioche Burger Buns are fabulous! Burgers and Chips for dinner tonight. And, of course we had to have my Gravy from Scratch on our chips. 😊

Mayonnaise is on the "Make from Scratch" list today.
The supermarket shelf is groaning with variations of this one simple staple. No need to buy all those different flavours, simply use this one basic recipe to make any flavour you like.
Find my recipe for Bulk Cooked Mayonnaise here:

We love mayonnaise! I use a lot of it in salads, on sandwiches and in sauces. I’ve been making this version of cooked mayonnaise for a while now, loosely based on the Cookidoo recipe. As I& #8…

Who knew tart pastry could be this easy? 😊

No rolling, no fuss—just press it straight into your tart tins and you're ready to go. It handles beautifully and bakes into a wonderfully crisp, buttery shell every time. I use an old round-based mini quiche tin that I've had for years, and it's perfect for these little tarts.

My Lemon Meringue Tarts have been making plenty of appearances at the Emu Point Sports and Community Centre catering lately, and this pastry has been an absolute dream to work with... and even better to eat! And, it works just as well with gluten free flour.

And if you're making lemon tarts, my Lemon Curd is the perfect filling. It's thick, silky, beautifully tangy and holds its shape perfectly—everything you want in a luscious lemon tart. 🍋💛

✨ The latest TM7 update has arrived... and it includes some very handy new features! ✨

If you love making life in the kitchen a little easier (and who doesn't? 😉), you're going to enjoy these new additions.

⏰ Multiple Timers
Run up to 5 timers at once and give each one a name. No more wondering which timer is for the bread, the pasta or the cake!

🥕 Gather Ingredients
Like to have everything ready before you start? Tap Gather Ingredients at the bottom of a recipe to see your complete ingredient list alongside the digital twin. It makes prepping and weighing ingredients so much simpler.

⚖️ More Weighing Control
You can now customise the Auto-Tick feature, choosing how quickly ingredients are ticked off and whether they're marked before you reach the exact target weight.

👆 Easier Guided Cooking Navigation
Need to go back and check something? Simply tap the previous step and it instantly becomes the active cooking step. So easy!

I love seeing Thermomix continue to improve with updates like these. It's one of the many reasons your TM7 just keeps getting better over time!

Huge day of cooking after a huge day of cooking!
Catered for 70 for afternoon tea yesterday (with some wonderful ladies helping) and today cooked up a storm!
My TM7 was either fully occupied with the recipe or was my sous chef.

Do you make Veggie Stock Paste? It’s a staple in my fridge, adding flavour and seasoning to all dishes.
But, I’m loving Chicken Stock Powder at the moment, made by dehydrating chicken stock paste in a low oven. I use it to make my Chicken Salt.
Find the recipe for Chicken Stock Powder on Cookidoo.
Real chicken, no maltodextrin, yeast extract or artificial colour.

Look at this delicious recipe I found on Cookidoo®: Chicken stock powder

Before anyone points it out… yes, it’s called Quick Puff Pastry, but “quick” is definitely relative! 😄

The good news? It’s incredibly simple to make, and the results are amazing. Just look at those beautifully puffy, flaky layers! 🥐✨

The Cookidoo®️ Quick Puff Pastry recipe might take a little time, but it’s absolutely worth every minute. Once you’ve made your own, it’s hard to go back to store-bought!
