I love cookbooks and more than that, I love finding recipes I enjoy and then adapting them for the Thermomix, and making them healthier according to our version of healthier. I have a few reviews coming up in the next few weeks, but today I want to share a competition with you. One lucky reader …

Damson Jam / Damson Jelly Recipe
Autumn bounty includes Damsons in the UK, and the trees are laden with them. People can’t get rid of them fast enough. The problem with damsons is that unlike, say, blackberries, you can’t eat them raw, so they often go unappreciated till they fall to the ground. My daughter came home from a walk in …

Awesome Autumn Apple Chutney Recipe
Around this time of year, the apple trees are laden with juicy, lovely fruit, just waiting to be picked. A few years ago we lived in a house with a huge apple tree in the centre of the yard, and I learned to make apple-everything! I’ve missed this beautiful apple chutney since then, but where …

Marrow Or Courgette / Zucchini Soup Recipe
I’m quite fond of courgette (zucchini), lightly fried with anchovy and pine nut, or steamed, or frittered, but it took getting a 3.5kg (7lb7oz) courgette from a friend of mine recently to get me to try courgette soup, and it is without doubt my favourite soup ever, hands down. It is so simple to make …

Blackberry Jam ( Blackberry Jelly)
It’s been a beautiful summer, and I’ve focused largely on my children, and very little on anything else, including these pages. I’ve often taken a photo of things, thinking I’d publish them when I have a moment, and that moment has just never come, and here we are, just in time for autumn. Nature is …

Two Pepper Dip
Whenever I make this dip, I have people asking me for the recipe. It is fantastic. The funny thing about it is that I don’t like peppers, and I’m not crazy about sun dried tomatoes, but put them together, and they make this beautiful, tasty dip that works with vegetables, crackers, or even as a …

{Book Review} and Grilled Vegetable Quinoa
Apart from my two pregnancies, I’ve always been a meat eater, but after almost ten years of supermarket meat in the UK my husband and I decided that we would rather reduce the number of times a week that we eat meat, and buy organic meat to eat less often. This has worked exceptionally well …

Honey Rosemary Twist Bread
I was watching a show on TV where the chef made a bread very similar to my usual bread recipe, but instead of olive oil, she added seed oil, and then added a lot of nuts. and seeds. I have a very good seedbread recipe, so I wasn’t overly desperate to try a new one, …

{Festival Of Food} Kale & Parmesan Summer Salad
I’ve put loads of effort into my garden this year, and to be honest, thus far, it hasn’t really paid off! I’m hoping now that summer’s finally arrived, we may have better luck. It certainly can’t get much worse. That said, the one thing in my garden that’s been glorious, and a steady producer, has …
