Vegetarian and vegan recipes. How to Make Pectin. Converting Recipes for the Thermomix. As you may have seen on Masterchef and Iron Chef Australia lately, the Thermomix is invaluable for cutting down time of food preparation. It's like having an extra pair of hands in the kitchen. But some people worry that using a Thermomix takes away from traditional ways of cooking, and they'd rather do everything by hand. Well, as a busy mum, I don't have time to make everything from scratch, the old fashioned way - although I do enjoy it!

There's nothing quite so satisfying as knowing you did it all yourself, the way it's been done for hundreds of years. But let's be honest - if you had to do everything by hand (no Thermomix, or mix-master, or blender, or food processor, or grain grinder...) how much 'fun' cooking would you do? And how much time would you have for anything else??? I really love my Thermomix, because it makes cooking for my family so much easier and less time-consuming than it used to be - I don't have to be in the kitchen all day for us to eat well! Have fun!! Broccoli parmesan fritters. Last week, it was pointed out to me that among the 750 recipes in the archives, there is but a single recipe that utilizes broccoli. Just one! (It’s a great one, though.) For comparison, there are 11 recipes that use cauliflower and 26 with mushrooms.

What terrible oversight could have led to this? I buy broccoli (and its friends) approximately once a week, year-round but this wasn’t always the case. I never disliked broccoli — I’m not this guy — but it wasn’t until my toddler took a great interest in chomping down on huge florets, raw, cooked, or three days old, that it became part of our regular rotation. Please understand: this is not one of those stories about how preciously advanced my toddler’s tastes are, how early he took an interest in foie gras and how he turns his nose up at white flour pastas, preferring farro. So, you know where this is going. And with that, I had them for lunch instead. Broccoli Parmesan Fritters In the bottom of a large bowl, lightly beat your egg.

Palak Paneer (creamed spinach curry with fresh cheese) | Super Kitchen Machine (Thermomix) Inspiration: Anyone who has been to an Indian food restaurant has probably tasted Palak Paneer. The two words describe a popular combination of spinach, cubed fresh cheese, and curry spices that is commonly eaten with flat bread or rice. With the addition of cream or milk to temper spicy seasonings, Palak Paneer makes for a well-balanced contrast of textures and flavours that magically masks the individual spices contained in this curry.

(You may not able to identify each flavour, but your tastebuds will love how they combine.) Traditionally a slow cooked meal, Palak Paneer becomes faster and easier with Thermomix and is perfect for busy families. And as we break into new ways of cooking with a super kitchen machine, I propose that we give ourselves permission to take personal ‘liberties’ with traditional recipes.
