🍅🍗 Moroccan Harira and Chicken Soup - Moroccan flavours collection UK #cookidoo . (Zest some lemon, drizzle some olive oil and serve with lots of black pepper) . If you follow this feed you may notice a certain sweet bias (or you may not have but I’ll tell you!) and while this totally reflects what I would live on, it doesn’t reflect my daily Thermomix use. . I use it every day, whether for an all in one meal or for steaming rice and veg, a light mayonnaise to go with fish tacos, to mash potatoes, you name it. But the light at night when we eat is crap and when I take pictures it really looks like I live in a cave. . So this is a super amazing soup, easily made vegetarian, that we had a couple of weeks ago and that I defrosted today. Nadia (my main tester now that the builders have almost gone) and I had it for lunch and she didn’t complain when I took the photos (though no doubt she thinks this whole thing is rather silly). . #moroccan #soup #harissa #chicken #tomato #redlentils #freezable #thermomix #thermomixuk #ukcookidoo #tm5 #vorwerk #instafood #lunch #supper #childrenfriendly #kitchenvictories (at London, United Kingdom)

🍫🌋C H O C L A V A C O O K I E S . Nothing like having to test recipes. These hazelnut spread volcano wonders are best eaten after the 10’ cooling period when they’re still warm and crunchy and soft in the middle but never do that on an empty stomach because they’ve pretty much been lunch today. . Having said that, they’ve been voted the BEST choc chip cookies yet by the testers at the back seat of my car this afternoon. . From @thermomixuk 9th March newsletter (shout if you don’t have it and I’ll forward it to you) and perfect to make on a Thermomix baking mat which incidentally is being gifted (along with the Sweet book) if you buy a Thermomix before Sunday. . SO, SO GOOD . #chocolate #hazelnut #cookies #volcano #lavacookies #homemadesnack #indulgent #supertreat #notforeveryday #thefeedfeed #thebakefeed #instafood #photography #foodphotography #fujifilm (at London, United Kingdom)

🍊🍋 S E S A M E , H O N E Y A N D C I T R U S B A R S aka S N A P S ! . From the fabulous new UK cookidoo collection released on Monday 👉Cereal Bars👈 . Ps. Had less sesame seeds than needed in recipe but forgot to reduce honey amount (was on the phone) and though delicious, mine were on the sticky side - hence the wrapping attempts. Still, super moreish and natural. . WIBWAT - zesting (do it twice), infusing honey, mixing, weighing, all in one device . #sesame #honey #citrus #orange #lemon #cerealbars #homemadesnacks #nopreservatives #naturalsugars #seeds #dairyfree #df #vegetarian #vegan #ukcookidoo #cookidoo #thermomix #thermomixuk #tm5 #cookkey (at London, United Kingdom)

😇🍫☕️R E L I G I E U S E S ☕️🍫😇 . Team Meeting this morning and a bit of last week’s trip to Paris’ workshop. . Also, swipe for the kindest, smartest of Thermomix experts. You may follow her on @proper_food__ . If you followed the deranged series of Insta Stories I shakily posted above , you may have seen rows of exquisite pastries in our last restaurant in Versailles, @angelina_paris They’re famous for their Mont Blanc cakes but those were tricky to climb even for the most seasoned gluttons (🙋‍♀️) so I settled to recreate their Coffee and Chocolate Religieuse. Chocolate, coffee and that little Wes Anderson. . All, ALL, made in the Thermomix . #religieuse #chocolat #chocolate #cafe #coffee #patisserie #pastry #frenchpastry #traditional #treat #workshop #interactive #pastrytechniques #cremepatissiere #choux #craquelin #chantilly #tempering #instafood #instagood #foodphotography #fujifilm (at London, United Kingdom)

☝️🍫 C H O C O L A T E S E L F - S A U C I N G P U D D I N G ☝️🍫 which had always felt most intriguing. . The sauce is poured on top of the cake and ends up at the bottom in some kind of baking osmosis. . Baking tin in background really not the right one to use as the pudding increases hugely in volume and quite a bit of the sauce ended up on the tray underneath. Perfect to stick in oven as you start lunch/dinner and eat warm at the end. . From Cookidoo.com.au and I used plain flour (not gluten free) . #winter #comfortfood #chocolate #pudding #thermomix #thermomixaus #thermomixuk #tm5 #instafood #instagood #foodphotography (at London, United Kingdom)

🌱P E A & M I N T S O U P🌱 Last night we had a roasted salmon dinner and I lightly steamed the veg before roasting them with the fish (otherwise green beans and stem broccoli are tough). While the greens were being steamed in the Thermomix, the Pea soup was cooking underneath. . If only one could multitask like this in real life. ________________________________________ #peasoup #greenpeas #peace #mint #steamedgreenbeans #steamedbroccoli #multitasking #noneedtocookeveryday #thermomix #thermomixuk #tm5 #varoma #midweekdinners #meatfreemonday #vegetarian #vegan #dairyfree #df #childrenfriendly #kitchenvictories #instafood #instagood #london #londonmum (at London, United Kingdom)

Excuse the self-reference but Mini Mozart’s explanation of what the Thermomix does is ACE and the founder and mastermind behind London’s best baby and toddler music classes is even ACER (thank you Clare) #Repost @minimozartmusic ・・・ There's nothing worse than a fussy eater and Goldilocks (our protagonist next week) is the very worst of them! Between them (and definitely, if you include the dog) my kids can lay claim to most vices, but being picky eaters is not one of them. I credit my trusty Thermomix for having swerved that one. What's a Thermomix? Basically, it's the only kitchen gadget you need.⠀ ⠀ I got mine after musing to a friend who works on Masterchef about whether or not to buy a Vitamix. "Vitamix Schmitamix" she said; "You want a Thermomix". "Where do you get those?" I asked. "Oh you can't just BUY them" she said. SOLD! And I haven't looked back. I even gave my Mum my beloved KitchenAid.⠀ ⠀ From the weaning period where I was cooking and freezing icecube trays of new tastes (steamed salmon, bok choy and wild rice for the adults, whizzed up to a puree for the babies all in the same machine washable machine) to the hiding vegetables everywhere phase, my trusty Thermomix has made feeding the family a cinch. Think 'hands free' risotto, super easy pizza dough and 'from scratch' sauces and salads in a matter of seconds.⠀ ⠀ I warn you, they're not cheap, and Thermomix owners tend to be a bit culty.⠀ ⠀ There are a million different blogs and Instagram accounts extolling the Thermomix's virtues, but my favourite is Vero's, a London mother of two omnivore kids who will make your mouth water with her gorgeous Insta feed @kitchenvictories.⠀ ⠀ Don't visit when you're hungry!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #minimozartmusic #thermomixrecipes #thermomixuk #goldilocksandthethreebears #mummyblogger #londonkids #mothermusician #musicmaking #thesincerestoryteller #livecreatively #musicstoryteller #lessonsfrommusic #LDN #localbiz #childrenillustration #illustratorsofig #illustratorgram #surelysimplecolor #surelysimple #storytellingmama #illustrationforkids #parentingdoneright #takesavillage #motherhoodrocks #mummyblogger #mothermusician #musicmaking #thingstodoinl (at London, United Kingdom)

Left over 🍏A P P L E S L I C E 🍏 . One of the simplest, lowest sugar desserts. And thanks to the Thermomix, quicker and more efficient. You still need to peel the apples (though next time I won’t bother, the blending is so good) but put the big pieces in the bowl, chop and cook the apple sauce while you cut the apples slices that sit in top. Then quickly cool extending the sauce over a big tray, assemble and bake. . And if you make extra Apple sauce you can use it as side for roasts or on top of porridges 💥 ——————————————— #applesauce #appleslice #puffpastry (shop bought) #thermomix #thermomixuk #bcb #basiccookbook #instafood #instadesserts #f52grams (at London, United Kingdom)

🍠 Sweet Potato R I S O T T O 🍠 Continuing the wearefreezingoura****off series I bring you a risotto that doesn’t require neat cube sweet potato cutting because who has the time. . Just chop the chunks (no bigger than the hole in the lid, you have to put a little effort) 5-7 seconds at speed 5 and continue with your basic risotto recipe. Winner. ———————————————— #winterwarmer #risotto #thermomixrisotto #sweetpotato #thermomix #tm5 #instafood #instagood #f52grams #feedfeed #vegetarian #vegan if you don’t sprinkle with Parmesan as everything cooked with #evoo #dairyfree (ditto) (at London, United Kingdom)

🍚 Vanilla porridge for super cold days 🍚 I keep changing the ratio but 100g oats - 500g of (any) milk yields a softer, lighter texture that we all seem to like. Add 1 tbsp vanilla paste and a bit of maple syrup and cook 12’/90C/reverse speed 1. Couldn’t be easier ———————————————— #porridge #vanilla #blueberries #banana #cocoanibs #winterwarmer #childrenfriendly #kitchenvictories #thermomix #tm5 #thermomixuk #instafood #instagood #saturdaymorning #lowgi (at London, United Kingdom)

✨L A S A G N A ✨ . Before the TM5 advent, I used my Thermomix for soups, sorbets and lasagna. Nothing else (well, as a straight up most powerful blender of course). And it was still the best gadget ever invented. To be honest, I’d have bought it just for the lasagna. Slow cooking bolognaise with no chopping, no mess and all sorts of veg inside and a 8-10 minute hands free bechamel which still (after 30 years) amazes me. . Two controversial commandments though: 🍄 Always use mushrooms* 🍅 Add the meat last** ————————————————— * mushrooms’ excess liquid won’t evaporate due to the now’s design but it will be great to cook the pasta sheets and leave a non-dry bolognaise behind . ** trust me on this. The meat needs liquid not to be broken up. If browning is imperative, and I completely understand that, lay the mince flat on a baking sheet and grill it while the sauce is cooking. —————————————————- #comfortfood #lasagna #fridaynightin #childrenfavourite #playdate #veggieloaded #instafood #instagood #f52 #thermomix #tm31 #tm5 #thermomixuk (at London, United Kingdom)

❄️❄️❄️ Bringing in the big guns ❄️❄️❄️ 👉 B E E F S P E Z Z A T I NO 👈 from the brand new Thermomix ✨Italian Cookbook ✨ (not released anywhere yet and haven’t got copies for customers but testing it for you!). . It’s a tomato based stew and I’d have left it cooking a bit longer tbh but for midweek - freezing outside - easiness it more than did the trick. . Steamed the 🌵beans🌵 the last 10 minutes of making the 🥔potato mash🥔 and made a quick 🥖bread 🥖 for tomorrow’s breakfast which had to appear in the photo somehow! . Similar recipe in Cookidoo.co.uk called Lamb Spezzatino . #thermomix #thermomixuk #brandnewbook #beef #spezzatino #feedssix #midweekmeal #childrenfriendly #kitchenvictories #tm5 #testingrecipes (at London, United Kingdom)
