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 […]

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, […]

Lamb is my favourite meat to roast. Usually I do it au-natural, but this time I decided to make it a little more special. The pear seemed to give the meat a beautiful sweetness and the celery pesto was a perfect touch. Everyone gave it the thumbs up. I served it with roasted potatoes, beans […]

Meatloaf is one of those recipes that has been around for ages, it was a recipe I started making for my son many years ago when we first started the Failsafe Diet. I had a favourite recipe I found from somewhere and converted to make it suitable for the diet and have had it saved […]

Before we had kids, my husband and I ate a lot of Tofu. It was something that we loved to experiment with. Every time I have tried to serve it to my kids, they have turned their noses up at it. I was hoping that this dish might have changed that, and probably would have […]

I love casseroles and stews, especially when they have lots of root vegetables in them. This is a regular one I make that I have adapted to suit the Failsafe diet from the “Travelling with Thermomix” cookbook. That recipe base is using stout beer, so I figured that whiskey would be a good substitute! I […]

In my quest to get more protein into Miss 3, I came up with these two recipe ideas for chicken. They are quick, easy and versatile. It is basically the same mixture, just used in different ways. The Chicken and Philly cheese mixture is also great as it is and is perfect for spreading on to sandwiches and […]
