Eat food, drink wine, cook with Thermomix
This is one of my all-time favourite soups, not only because it carries the sentimental value of having been Thermomix demonstration soup recipe for UK Thermomix, but because I just love the way the red pepper taste blends with the tomato. And the pinch of cayenne pepper really lifts the whole soup. You can optimise the use of your Thermomix by steaming meat and vegetables in the Varoma while your soup cooks for up to 30 minutes before blending.
A totally healthy alternative to traditional egg-based mayo, Lunchbox Doctor’s Avocado Mayonnaise is fast and easy to make in the Thermomix. Eat it on its own, dollop it on a burger, slather it on a sandwich, serve it as a dip with crudités and/or savoury crackers, enjoy!
The lovely ladies at Alyce Alexandra have very kindly sent me a copy of their gorgeous cookbook, “Recipes from our Cooking School” for me to offer to one lucky Why Is There Air reader in the UK, France, New Zealand or Australia. How good is that? Contest ends at noon UTC on Sunday 22nd May 2016.
A somewhat sweet way to jazz up a joint of gammon or a roast ham. Gives texture and spice. Try it according to this recipe and then turn the leftovers into a pseudo chutney by adding your favourite curry spices. Bon appétit !
A deep and earthy soup made from two of my favourite ingredients, mushrooms and chestnuts. Use chicken stock for extra flavour or vegetable stock for a vegetarian treat. Absolutely gorgeous! Makes 8 starter servings or 4 large bowls.
