🍞 BREAD JOURNEY – QUICK BREADS & ROLLS! 🥖

Continuing our bread journey, these two recipes are brilliant when you want fresh bread in a hurry!

Both can be weighed, mixed, kneaded, shaped and baked in under 45 minutes! 😍

Yes, they might not be quite as well risen as bread that's had the usual proving time, but it's great to know you can still get lovely results when you need bread at short notice!

🥖 "Endless Variations Bread"

Just as the name suggests, add whatever takes your fancy! We chose mixed seeds, but you could try nuts, herbs or even chorizo. Make it your own!

🧀 "Parmesan & Rosemary Rolls"

Delicious with parmesan and rosemary, but you can leave out the additions for lovely plain rolls too.

"So how do they work so quickly?"

You shape the dough straight after kneading, then either put it into a cold oven and let it rise as the temperature reaches 180–200°C, or give it a short prove at 60°C before turning the temperature up to bake.

Other quick favourites include our "Sun-Dried Tomato Tear & Share Bread". You can even make a smaller batch of the Basic Dough I shared yesterday and use it for your own variations!

These recipes are brilliant for Thermomix demos and cooking classes because people can see just how easy bread-making can be. "You really don't need to be an expert baker!" ❤️

And here's something else I love about making bread at home — you choose the ingredients, keep things simple and experiment with different flours, seeds and flavours.

🍞 "Fresh bread, ingredients you recognise, and ready in under 45 minutes. What's not to love?" 😍

Have you tried making bread with your Thermomix, or is it something you'd love to have a go at?

🥥🍤 WHEN THE RECIPE SAYS ONE THING… BUT YOU HAVE OTHER IDEAS! 🤣👩‍🍳

Tonight’s dinner started life as a perfectly respectable chicken coconut curry… but then I decided it needed a wee makeover!

First up, I threw in some king prawns towards the end of cooking and gave them an extra couple of minutes to cook through. Because why have chicken OR prawns when you can have BOTH?! 😋🍤

Then, instead of the suggested roti, I fancied something a little different…

🍚 Steamed some rice in my trusty Thermomix.

🥕 Peeled some carrots into lovely ribbons.

🫛 Got the wok out and stir-fried the carrots and frozen peas in a tablespoon of sesame oil (any cooking oil will do!).

🥢 Added the steamed rice and a splash of soy sauce, giving everything a good toss.

🥚 Made a wee hole in the middle, cracked in an egg, scrambled it until cooked and mixed it all through.

Et voilà! 🎉

A gorgeous chicken and king prawn coconut curry, served with homemade vegetable egg-fried rice! 🥥🍛🍤

And here’s the thing I love about cooking with my Thermomix…

💚 Cookidoo recipes are a fantastic guide, but they’re not set in stone!

Fancy adding something? Go for it!

Don’t like an ingredient? Swap it!

Feel like going completely off-piste? Fill your boots! 🤣

Cooking should be fun, not a test of how well you can follow instructions!

A little confidence, a dash of creativity and a willingness to experiment can turn a lovely recipe into something that’s perfectly YOU! 🥰

So tell me… are you a stick-to-the-recipe kind of cook, or do you like to throw caution (and a few extra ingredients) to the wind?! 🤣👇

🌶️💃 FULL FAT FAJITA FRIYAY… YOU KNOW I LOVE YA! 💃🌶️

It’s Friday, the working week is DONE, and we’re bringing a little Mexican fiesta to the kitchen! 🇲🇽🎉

Tonight’s menu? Oh, it’s a good’un! 😍

🌶️ Homemade fajita seasoning – freshly blitzed in the Thermomix because why buy a packet when you can make your own?!

🍗 Sizzling chicken fajitas – juicy chicken, colourful peppers, onions and plenty of flavour, all wrapped up in a lovely soft tortilla!

🥑 Homemade guacamole – because fajitas without guac should frankly be illegal! 🤣

🍹 Frozen margaritas – because it’s Friday, I’m on a few days leave and quite frankly, I deserve one! Or two… who’s counting?! 😜

And the trusty Thermomix TM7 has been earning its keep again, helping with everything from the spice mix to the fajita filling, guacamole and those rather fabulous margaritas! 💚

Less faffing, more flavour and more time to enjoy the evening. What’s not to love?!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a margarita that’s not going to drink itself! 🍹🤣

Who’s joining me for Fajita Friyay?! 🙋‍♀️🌮

🍛😍 FAMILY FAVOURITE ALERT! 😍🍛

✨ Murgh Makhani (Butter Chicken) with homemade Garlic Naan ✨

Honestly, is there anything better than a cracking curry made from scratch in your own kitchen?! 🤤❤️

Toasted spices, a rich, velvety butter chicken sauce and warm, garlicky naan to mop up every last drop. Absolute heaven!

And here’s the beauty of making it at home with my Thermomix… 💚

💰 Saving a small fortune on takeaways!
🌿 Fresh ingredients and spices, with homemade sauces.
👩‍🍳 Knowing exactly what’s gone into our food, so we can make choices that suit our family.
✨ No need to rely on takeaway menus when you can create something this delicious at home!

The best bit? You get that restaurant-quality curry night without the takeaway bill… and you can go back for seconds without feeling guilty about the delivery charge! 😂

Who else would choose a homemade Butter Chicken over a takeaway? 🙋‍♀️🍛

Homemade Mixed Berry jam (made from frozen fruit in my trusty TM7!) on toast served with a warming cup of tea. The perfect way to kick off a Sunday morning 🥰

🍞🍗 It’s been another busy (and delicious!) week in my Thermomix world! 💚✨

Chicken Pizzaiola, steamed rice and freshly baked rolls are just a few of the delights my family have enjoyed this week. 😋

But the fun didn’t stop at home! We held a fabulous bread-making workshop in Skirling, where we got our hands doughy and created a wonderful variety of goodies, including gluten-free rolls and a savoury bread and butter pudding.

I’m still trying to get my head around the word savoury being in the same sentence as bread and butter pudding! 😂

We also whipped up a delicious dip, sun-dried tomato butter (and plain butter too!), plus a berry curd. Because let’s face it, if you’re making all that bread, you need a few things to spread on it! 🤤

I also took along a homemade malt loaf and angel cake, both of which went down a treat. The lovely feedback was the icing on the cake… quite literally! 🥰❤️

And now for this week’s top tip… 🤣

I sliced my malt loaf and popped it in the oven to keep it safe from my pesky cat. What I didn’t realise was that the oven was still switched on! 🤦‍♀️

The result? A slightly crispy malt loaf around the edges… which everyone absolutely loved!

So there you go, folks — accidental baking innovation at its finest! 😂🔥

From everyday family meals to experimenting at workshops, the Thermomix keeps surprising me with what it can do. And the best bit? There’s always something new to make, learn or laugh about. 💚
