Eat food, drink wine, cook with Thermomix
As you may know, Dear Reader, if you follow me on Twitter, that I tweet about Thermomix in an effort to raise public awareness of my best friend in the kitchen. Recently one of my followers remarked that I was always tweeting about Thermomix soup …
Moist, orangey and buttery, this Thermomix recipe for Sicilian Orange Cake is based on one appearing in Rick Stein’s “Mediterranean Escapes.” Makes one thick cake that serves 12.
Perfect for a cricket tea or a picnic. Eat a large cake on its own, or sandwich 2 smaller ones with jam, butter cream icing, whipped cream and fresh fruit, then dust with icing sugar. The butter cream icing can be either plain or made with coffee or chocolate. Serves 8.
Thermomix is a great help in making lovely simple syrup to sweeten drinks and moisten cakes. Simple Syrup is often used to flavour drinks and cocktails because it dissolves better than granulated or crystallised sugar. Add some mint and make a mojito. Flavour your daiquiris and Margaritas with a lime-flavoured syrup. Use your imagination and shake it up!
Yummy and all natural, wild garlic has a subtle garlic taste yet a strong garlic aroma. It makes a delicious soup!
