A failsafe recipe for my non-thermomix owners. Yes, I actually did this the traditional way! This is the main meal I served for dinner to go with the Honeycomb Cheesecake. Even though we had guests, I broke all the rules and cooked 2 meals I had never made before and I had fun creating them […]

I am not a big cheesecake fan, but my dad is! So since they were coming over for dinner, I thought I would have a go at making my first cheesecake, especially when I had a bag of failsafe honeycomb that I thought would be lovely crushed through it, and it was! 250g biscuits (I […]

Posted on July 2, 2012 · 6 Comments
This is my “claytons” lemon chicken, the lemon chicken you are having when you are not having lemon. I wanted to re-create the lovely thick rich Chinese style lemon sauce and make it failsafe. This gluten free Thermomix tempura batter is just lovely and light, a perfect match for this sauce. I have been making […]

Posted on June 20, 2012 · 4 Comments
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 […]

Posted on June 14, 2012 · 22 Comments
I love middle eastern food, and I like to try to find ways to bring food from other cultures into our failsafe home and make the variations I need to get even a slight hint of what the original is. I know this is nothing compared to a real Kofta with all the wonderful aromatic spices they […]

I am indulging my sweet tooth again. Layered slice using mountain bread, custard and carob icing. Simply divine! Easy to put together, and looks classy (well I still need practice at making it look that way… but you can get an idea of how classy it can be if made by a chef!). I have […]
