Cauliflower Cheese is one of our favourite week night dinner. I’ve been making it for the kids since they were babies and thankfully they love it. There is something comforting about it, just like a good old fashioned mac and cheese. We often eat soups too and I was getting bored with the same old, same […] Read more…
I’ve been making this fish pie for years and always goes down well with the family. I saw it once on Jamie Oliver’s Naked Chef TV show and it’s been a firm favourite ever since. I do use my thermomix to cook the fish, but really there is no need to have one for this […] Read more…
It’s hard to believe that Christmas is only a hop, skip and a jump away now. It’s done it’s usual trick of sneaking up and catching me off guard. It’ll just be the five of us for Christmas this year so I’ve been trying to think about what to cook. I want to be organised […] Read more…

One of my most popular posts is my Top 5 recipes for super easy kids meals in the thermomix. It’s about a year since I first posted it that I though it was high time I did an update. Finding the inspiration to make dinner for the kids EVERY SINGLE DAY can be quite tedious, […] Read more…
One of my lovely readers has got herself a Thermomix this week and has asked me if I could please blog a fish pie recipe. How exciting and of course I can blog a fish pie recipe. There are so many different variations of fish pie but I’ve decided on this one as it obviously […] Read more…
Since having my thermomix quiche has become one of my favourite things to bake. I would never in a million years have tried to make one before – partly because anything more complicated than a sandwich ALWAYS flopped when I tried to make it and partly because I just thought it was one of those […] Read more…
Thisreally made me chuckle!! Every day dinners can be so boring and repetitive and if your house is anything like mine, then it’s full of fussy eaters who want dinner THE MINUTE their little tummies are hungry. Then I’m left trying and pull something out of the bag in record speed at the same time as trying to do […] Read more…
