Articles — 24 month instalment for thermomix

The kids and me were planning to make cookies as our Christmas party giveaway to friends and relatives. This needs to be another dedicated exercise altogether because the cookies turned out so good that they have been completely eaten up by the munchkins!!!!  Kudos to my friend Jeffrey, this recipe is so easy!    Ingredients 250 g butter 180g sugar 250 g self raising flour 250 g rolled oat 4 to 6 chopped nuts (I used mixture of a handful of walnuts and pecans) 1 egg 120 g desiccated coconut 1/4 tsp bicarb 1 tsp vanilla essence Directions Cream...

The kids bugged me to make castella cake. Well, I have never really been a cake baker but the process seemed easy enough after watching several youtube videos. We decided to adapt a conventional recipe for Thermomix since our Thermie is the only mixer at home... The result was very good considering it was our first attempt! We have made the cake subsequently a few more times with success!. This is indeed a no fail recipe - no shrinkage (did not use any paper carton frame), no special cake mould - just a good old 8" square cake tin and...

This is super yummy kaya, tasting just like the good old kopi tiam brown kaya and absolutely so delish on toasted bread or absolutely divine spread on a slice of artisan bread.

Avoid too large or too small ones. Use the average sized ones you can find in your supermarket because the size of your eggs will affect the overall volume, cooking time, and thus...

This is unbelievably easy to make and a hit with everyone - young and old. And the best? This is gluten free - just nice for Kayla, who's on a trial gluten-free diet, to see if a clean-up of her wheat-rich diet will clean up her allergy issues. As she loves all things wheat such as pastas, noodles and udons,  she has been complaining incessantly about her new limited diet. The good news is, besides Kayla, everyone loves the Brazillian cheese balls. These are unbelievably tasty and takes only 5 minutes to make. Can't believe we paid so much for these...

Besides peeling garlic skins off for me, Thermomix is great in many other ways too. I used to hate boiling water then blanching the scum off. Did you know that actually you can just add meat into the mixing bowl and pour in water over the meat and blanch for 15min at 50 degree, reverse, stir speed. Pour out the meat into the simmering basket and rinse under running water to remove remaining scum on the meat. Voila! The meat is ready to cook!
