I always forget how good hummus is until I eat it and then I swiftly remember and want to keep having it forever and a day. Or at least more often than I do. Technically this one doesn’t need a Thermomix to be made. A stick blender or anything that blends will do the trick.... Read More

Mexican Quinoa in a spelt tortilla We love quinoa, and I use it a lot as an alternative to rice and other grains. So when I made a Mexican meal the other day I decided to use quinoa instead of rice in the Mexican Rice. It worked beautifully! I cook quinoa in my Thermomix in one of […]

I can’t remember where I was the first time I tried Brussels sprouts, but I do remember the bitter flavour made even worse by the over-boiled texture. I was in my early twenties, and having grown up in Lebanon, Brussels sprouts were new to me. It certainly was not a culinary revelation. For many years, I avoided the vegetable, deterred by its sulphurous smell and the soggy memory of our first encounter. But this is why forgiveness and second chances are so important.

Hey everyone! As you many know, I’m madly working on my Quirky Cooking for Gut Health program, to teach people how to cook for the GAPS Intro diet, without dying of boredom, or feeling overwhelmed by what they can and can’t have! And I just have to share another of the program recipes with you, because […]

I’m so excited about this recipe, as you’ve probably heard! I was cheeky enough to call it the ‘best butter chicken ever’ because my 16 year old son insisted it was the best he’d ever tasted, and said that I HAD to call it ‘the best ever’, and I HAD to teach him how to make […]

Day to day, things can get a little chaotic to say the least. Time runs away, mealtimes are sometimes snatched on the run, and before you know it it’s time for the next serving of wholesome goodness. (Kids really like to eat hey!) So creating healthy savoury snacks that are ready to go, on […]

What happens when you want to make chocolate but you have no cacao butter, so you use butter instead? FUDGE!! This fudge was a delicious accident, and we couldn't be happier with the result! Use whatever nut butters and nuts you prefer - we thought we'd revisit our childhood with this peanut butter version. It's so creamy and delicious, we've had to taste test it quite a few times!! ;) Check out the recipe notes for dairy free, nut free, and reduced sugar variations.

Here’s one of our family favourites that I’ve been making for years, and just recently converted to the Thermomix. If you’re not too much into ‘sweet’ and ‘beef’ together, don’t worry, it’s not too sweet – it’s very savoury, rich and flavoursome. It takes a little longer to cook than most Thermomix meals, but you don’t […]
