I must admit, I had a lot of trouble bringing myself to post this blog. I mean… Bangers and mash, really? It is a meal a lot of people take for granted. But on the failsafe diet, gravy is not really something we can indulge in, one because of the amines content and two because […]

Carob Cookies
Posted on June 7, 2012 · 9 Comments
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 […]

Posted on June 2, 2012 · 4 Comments
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 […]

A friend on Facebook put out the challenge a while ago to Go Green in all areas of cleaning and housekeeping. One of the areas she talked about was washing powder and she inspired me to give it a go and I haven’t looked back! For the last 8 months I have been making my […]

This meal is my son’s favourite. This is another great variation for using mince. I use the Failsafe Mince in the Thermomix and serve it on top of Potato wedges with sour cream and Pear Ketchup. It may sound like a strange combination, but it works and is rather good! All you need is to […]

Today isn’t so much about the recipe, but the amazing experience I had this morning in the kitchen… turnovers are easy, we have all been there, done that. But today was different for me. For those that don’t know, here is a little bit of history to fill you in… My youngest is a non […]

Posted on May 23, 2012 · 15 Comments
This recipe is the basis I use for all my mince dishes. It is a failsafe mince suitable for an elimination diet, and therefore not a tomato in sight! All our plates come back to the kitchen licked clean and my son and husband always come back for seconds. My daughter, like everything she eats, […]

I found this brilliant idea on pinterest and just had to share it. My nearly 5 year old daughter is a big yoghurt eater and she likes these for something different, especially as an after school snack. It is another thing that is quick and easy to make and gives you a snack to pull […]

I have lots of cupcake recipes, but this is by far one of the quickest and easiest that I keep coming back to. I am all for doing things that save time and with this recipe I make 2 dozen cup cakes at once and keep some fresh for eating straight away and freeze half […]
[Continue Reading]Creamy Garlic Chicken Risotto
Posted on May 19, 2012 · 47 Comments
I created this Thermomix risotto because I love garlic! It is so simple to make, beautifully creamy and has a lovely subtle flavour. It would be easy to make this a vegetarian dish by swapping the chicken for 500g of vegetables of your choice. Small handfull of parsley 3 shallots 2 cloves garlic (decent size […]
