These are like fritters, but for the sake of my fussy Miss 3 we call them pancakes and she loves them. They are great as an accompaniment to a main meal, for brunch or as an easy dinner just on their own. They are quick to make in the Thermomix and suitable for the failsafe diet. […]

Ice cream Bombe
Posted on November 23, 2012 · 8 Comments
Every year at Christmas, we have an Ice Cream Bombe for dessert at dinner time. It is a more appealing dessert for kids and perfect for a hot summers Christmas. There are many variations to this Ice Cream Bombe, you are only limited by your imagination! You can fill each layer with whatever your tastes […]

This is a very simple and fun idea I copied off pinterest to make suitable for the Failsafe Diet and even while on elimination diet phase. The original was using a supermarket salsa jar (which has preservatives in it) and a piece of capsicum (which is very high Salicylates) cut into a star for the top. I […]

These little pies are divine! A great Failsafe diet alternative for fruit mince pies at Christmas time. Leaving them plain on top or a different shape cut with pasty can make them perfect for any occasion. Lovely served at room temperature or heated up with ice cream, custard or Whiskey Cream Sauce for a decadent […]

This is my Failsafe diet version of a Christmas Brandy Sauce using Whiskey. Unfortunately brandy is out for the Diet, but hey, whiskey is in! This suits my husband, he is a whiskey man. I have to hunt him down whenever I make this sauce as he takes off with the Thermomix bowl and a […]

Posted on November 19, 2012 · 2 Comments
With the warmer summer months coming upon us, the thought of having the oven on for hours to cook a whole chicken was not appealing at all. Especially on Christmas day! Steaming a whole chook in the Varoma sounds like such a much better idea. I followed the basic technique for cooking a whole chicken in the Varoma from the […]

Hungarian Fried Bread or Lángos as it’s called is a fried bread made with mashed potato. I was in Hungry when I was about 19 and unfortunately I can not remember ever having one of these (though that was a long while ago now and the memory is not very vivid any more, lol!). It’s kind of nice […]

Two versions of white truffles, cute ones for the kids and vodka ones for the adults. If making them for adults only, just double the vodka amount and add the mixture with the biscuits. Otherwise if making for kids and adults, I take out half of the mixture into a separate bowl, then add the vodka, so […]

Please note that if you are already following the Failsafe Diet, this will be an additive free challenge and […]

Pizzas are great for making left overs look spectacular. After our Lamb roast with the Celery pesto, I thought that they would be perfect on pizza, and my word… they were amazing! You seriously need to make the roast just to get the left overs to make this pizza. Celery Pesto, roast lamb, leftover roast potato, […]
