Caramel Mud Cake – Birthday Cake ideas

Since I am on a roll with cakes and parties… I thought I had better post my absolute favourite failsafe cake recipe, a Caramel Mud Cake! I even prefer this one over the White Chocolate Mud cake recipe. I have used this one for the majority of all my cakes over the years. I have […]

White Chocolate Mud Cake with Dairy Free “Butter-cream” Icing

It’s the 1st day of school holidays, and my kids put in a special request for these cup cakes! How could I refuse? So I had 3 willing helpers in the kitchen this morning. Since posting the Mermaid party , I have had lots of people asking me for the White Chocolate Mud Cake recipe. […]

Mermaid Under the Sea Party

With 3 kids, the deal is, they take it in turns to have a party (so they will have one every 3 years), or they can choose to do something special like a family trip to Movie World, Sea World or something special on their party year instead. Fortunately I haven’t had to do a […]

Carob Cookies

Need a quick morning or afternoon tea treat? These are easy to whip up in the Thermomix and best of all, they are failsafe and suitable for an elimination diet. I have had this recipe for years and can not remember where I found it. I have adapted it to make in the Thermomix, but […]

Glazed Spanish Mackerel with Warm Vegetable Cous Cous Salad

This recipe neither complies with the failsafe diet or was made in the Thermomix!  The reason I didn’t use my Thermomix… I had to send it away for a few repairs and service. I think I have been working it way too hard, lol! I am missing it terribly and can’t wait till I get […]
