While I use frozen fruit, it’s not a favourite as I don’t always like the consistency once it defrosts. A great way to save fruit for the winter months is by freezing it though, so rather than just saving as is, I’ve made strawberries to freeze in a syrup, so that when they are defrosted, …

Strawberry Elderflower Jam Recipe

In the Thermomix it’s such a simple recipe too – no thermometer required. I love this recipe! Strawberry Elderflower Jam Recipe Print …

Flourless Grain-Free Dairy Free Almond Lemon Drizzle
Since my gall bladder problems started, I’ve been focusing a lot on grain free recipes, but that means I really miss things like cake. Fortunately almond flour is easy to come by – I have a Thermomix, so I make it from whole almonds – and it’s good for gall bladder health too. There’s a fair bit …

Wild Garlic And Cashew Dip
Wild garlic fills my head with romantic images of rolling hills, blue skies and sparkling oceans – probably because of the two places I’ve found it growing in the wild. It’s a beautiful herb or plant or whatever it is. It is pungent, and fills the air with the smell of delicious food, but sweet… …

Stained Glass Window Jelly
It was my daughter’s second birthday today, and following on from a month of absolutely no food-mojo, I didn’t prepare anything healthy for this party at all. There were fruit cups, but they were slathered in cream. Yum, but not healthy, really. Anyway, it’s a party, I’m not going to beat myself up about it. …

Thermomix Wontons For Chinese New Year
**If you don’t have a Thermomix, you can mix the ingredients in an ordinary bowl and knead the dough for about 10 minutes till it is pliable and smooth** I can’t actually recall that I’ve ever eaten wontons before, but I liked the look of them when my children and I were doing craft activities …
