Not a Chef

16/10/2026

Last night was one of those raid-the-fridge dinners that turned out SO much better than the sum of its parts!

I had cabbage (I've fallen in love with this humble ingredient!), carrots and onions. I know… a rather sad state of affairs, isn't it?

So, I consulted my trusted sous chef, , and found this recipe. And honestly, why was I even surprised? Cookidoo never fails to amaze me!

Served with a simple piece of fresh, pan-fried lemon linefish, it turned into a dinner fit for a queen! 👑🐟

Proof that you don't need a fridge full of fancy ingredients to put a fabulous meal on the table. Sometimes (read ALWAYS), you just need a Thermomix and a little inspiration! 💚

From driving race cars to traveling the world, this crazy job of mine has let me tick off some massive bucket list moments. But one of my absolute favorite perks? My partnership with .

I bought my first Thermomix back in 2012, and it was love at first sight. Honestly, Sandy jokes that she’s my second love right behind this machine!

I spent my entire weekend off buzzing around the kitchen creating incredible meals. It’s therapeutic, it’s my ultimate reset button, and it reminds me that true joy is often found in the simple, quiet moments (and brilliant smells) right at home.
For those who haven't cracked the nod for a Thermomix dinner at our place yet—rest assured, your time is coming! 🧑‍🍳👇

One of my favourite things to smoke: 🍆🍆🍆! Serving with maple-lime dressing, spring onions and salted peanuts.

I had a ton of granadillas in the garden (that the monkeys miraculously did not eat!), and needed to find a good use for them, so I made this delicious snack for our girls today, and it's a hit!

To easily separate the granadilla pulp from the seeds, use your Thermomix TM7: heat the pulp at 100°C (use Reverse Blade) to dissolve the membranes, then use the Reverse Blade function on speed 4 to knock the flesh off the seeds. Strain the mixture through your simmering basket or a fine-mesh sieve.

"Can we make clouds, Mom?" she asked. And of course I had to say yes and show her how! Love my kitchen at The Sugar Shack and how easy things are in the Thermomix South Africa TM7!

Today I decided to bake one of my absolute favourites — focaccia with sea salt flakes and rosemary fresh from my garden 🌿

Such simple ingredients, yet the result is nothing short of exquisite. I baked this one in a smaller pan for a thicker, fluffier finish… and let me tell you — slice it horizontally and you’ve got the *perfect* lunchtime sandwich.

I served mine with butter (because everything is better with butter, right?), wild rocket, prosciutto, s’Brinz (think Alpine, grass-fed goodness… you can almost hear the cowbells 🐄🔔), vine-ripened tomatoes, and roasted red peppers with a touch of Dijon mustard.

And that smell… warm bread filling the house… completely irresistible.

🌿 WE’RE LOOKING FOR THERMOMIX CONSULTANTS! 🌿
(South Africa)
Exciting things are happening — as the new Thermomix distributor in SA, we’re building our consultant family, and we’re on the lookout for amazing people to join us! 💚
You don’t need to be a chef (burning water is totally acceptable 😉). What we’re looking for is someone who is:
✨ A motivated self-starter with a few spare hours a week
✨ Comfortable talking to people and building connections
✨ Able to communicate well and respond timeously
✨ Confident with basic tech skills — nothing fancy, just navigating a phone, using apps, and simple problem-solving like resetting a password
✨ Open to learning something new
No sales background is required — the Thermomix genuinely sells itself. Income can easily be a few extra thousand rand a month, and for those who want to build it into a full-time career, the potential is huge. (just do an internet search for the most successful Bimby consultant in Portugal - your eyes will water! 😳)
Full training and support will be provided. You just need heart, confidence, and the willingness to jump into a fun and rewarding opportunity.
If this sounds like you — or someone you know — please pop me a message!

Let’s grow this Thermomix community together. 💚
