The Best Laid Plans
My Thermomix is rather magical but even it cannot run without electricity, so when the electricity went off for over 6 hours I had to find another way to spend my day.

Life’s little pleasures
I’m sitting here revelling in a bowl of gluten-free porridge (oatmeal) with raspberries on top and a dash of milk. My goodness, it makes my heart sing! How was I to know that my best friend in the kitchen, Thermomix, and a bowl of oatmeal could make me so happy?
Fast and Easy, No Fat Gazpacho
What do you do when you’re on a diet and can’t stand the idea of another salad, but salad ingredients are about all you’ve got in the fridge? How about Gazpacho?
We’re Jammin’
Red, round and delicious. OK, a bit pimply, too. And sometimes less than perfect. Juicy, with the juice running down your chin. A sweet rush of flavour filling your mouth. Yes, I’m waxing lyrical about strawberries, our favourite late Spring fruit.
Lamb Roly-Poly
I’m still on my diet and always looking for ways to make my meals tasty and enticing whilst keeping the fat content to a minimum. Steaming foods in my Thermomix’s Varoma steamer has been a tremendous help as it requires no fat, retains colour, and keeps flavours fresh and vivid.
