Reader Giveaway! Warm your February with Horlicks
It’s a cold and rainy early-February day in central France, I’m hungry and cold and I just popped another log on the fire before going out with the wheelbarrow to bring in some more wood. My New Year’s resolutions are getting harder to keep and the winter buzzword on the web is Comfort. If you’re dieting like me, it’s important to find a low-fat source of comfort, energy and why not a bit of protein. The good people at Horlicks have come up with a tasty solution in their Horlicks Light Chocolate and just to brighten your February I’m giving away a bundle of limited edition Horlicks memorabilia and a tub of Horlicks Light Chocolate to one lucky winner!

Prepare your Horlicks drink in your Thermomix
Pop 200 g water and 30 g Horlicks Light (or 25 g Horlicks Traditional) per serving into your Thermomix, heat and stir about 5 minutes/90Ā° C/Speed 2, pour into mugs, sit back and enjoy a boost for the afternoon.
Horlicks is great for those looking for an alternative afternoon cuppa to help boost energy levels! A mug of Horlicks Traditional is packed with 14 key nutrients including Vitamin B6 which contributes to the normal functioning of both the nervous and immune system and can reduce tiredness and fatigue. It is also low fat and a source of protein.
Right. Time for my cuppa Horlicks. See you soon in the comments sections š
We LOVE the apple pie – for sure!
Another favourite recipe has been identified, this time by Natarsha in London. She loves my Gluten free, Dairy free, Vegan and Vegetarian Coconut Milk Wraps with Sweet Chilli and Lime Dipping Sauce and rightly says that there’s “no need to miss out on delicious treats when cutting gluten.” Way to go, Natarsha!

I was just thinking of that recipe yesterday, Jenny, when making a non gluten free focaccia in a demo here in France. The gluten-free recipe you refer to is by Leslie Collins (@meandmythermie), Adriana Rabinovich (@glutenfree4kids) and former UK Thermomix Director Janie Turner, and as you say, it’s wonderful. Thanks for your comment, good luck, and happy Thermomix cooking!

I have an absolute favourite recipe from your site. It’s the gluten free focaccia. I ate this first at Sarah Lawson’s house and enjoyed it immensely. It’s unbelievably gluten free and that’s the best kind of gluten free in my book!
Oh Sarah, I’m so touched! I like my semolina shortbread recipe, too, but I like you even more š

My favourite recipe from ‘Why is there Air?’ is Semolina Shortbread and I even bought the home made stamp to make them look just like yours on the blog. Then I met you through work when you trained me to be a Thermomix demonstrator; I opened a drawer in your kitchen for something and there was the ‘home-made’ biscuit stamp! Suddenly I realised I was in the kitchen of Madame Thermomix! So this gorgeous recipe always reminds me of you. Sarah xx
Ah yes, the White Chocolate Rocky Road… my thighs are trembling just thinking about it! And isn’t the snail method for puff pastry just divinely simple? Cheers and good luck in the contest! P.S. yours looks much better than mine š

Your white chocolate rocky road that you put in the Christmas Thermomix eBook is my favourite. It’s fantastic – and that from someone who doesn’t like white chocolate! I’ve also directed loads of people to your snail pastry recipe, and use that often too š
Oh wow, chocolate chorizo was one of my earliest recipes and one of my favourites, too. I’m so glad it’s not me that has to choose š

Well thank you, Helene! The brandade de morue is one of my favourites, too. So much easier to make with Thermomix, too!
https://www.whyisthereair.com/2011/03/21/an-air-of-provence/
My favourite recipe from your blog? Easy, gotta be the chocolate chorizo! Everybody likes a bit (or a lot) of chocolate and this takes it to a whole new level!
Woohoo, what a cute prize! Well, my fave recipe from Why is There Air is Madame’s Brandade de Morue! I had brandade de morue regularly when working in the south of France in my youth and fell in love with the dish — so was thrilled when Madame created a Thermomix version for all to enjoy š Thank you Madame, and thank you Horlicks!!!
