I went to a fantastic mid winter ☃️ Thermomix cooking class on the weekend. It was great to get new ideas and inspiration for Christmas while things were less busy.
Heaps of great food on the menu.

Smoked salmon mousse, festive Camembert mini wreaths, mulled wine, steamed chicken with prune and orange stuffing, green beans with garlic crispy potatoes and winter citrus and beet salad chai jelly domes.
My favorite dish was the winter beet salad (we used red beetroot and mandarins). It inspired me to use my varoma more and give the steamed chicken a go.

I was so busy that although I had organized a present and an activity for my husband's birthday I had forgotten about a birthday cake. It was 2.30pm and I thought what the heck can I make that doesn't take too long, has ingredients I have in the house and the whole family will eat.
A quick search of cookidoo and I found this fudgey chocolate cake recipe. Only two steps and 4 eggs so win win.
I cooked mine for 42 minutes and that gave a nice fudgey middle without being too soft. I had some frozen raspberries in the freezer so I made a berry sauce to go on top. A sprinkle of icing sugar, whipped cream (with vanilla and icing sugar)and a candle. Done. Everyone loved it!

My 9 year old neurodiverse daughter doesn't eat any vegetables at all. I'm on a mission to try to get some veggies into her diet and sweet treats are the best way to try. Yesterday I tried these pumpkin donuts success,she ate them!
Easy to make and I used my new batter dispenser for the first time and there was a lot less mess getting the batter into the donut tray.

Anyone got any other sweet treat suggestions that have a vegetable in them besides carrot cake ?

If you like pork then this is a must try recipe. If you follow the cookidoo recipe it's an all in one dinner that uses the varoma to cook rice while the mixing bowl cooks the pork in a sticky sauce. Very yummy. I tried an alternative last night which was even better. I used a standard steamed rice recipe to cook that first then just followed the sauce part of the recipe without adding the pork. I cooked the pork pieces in the air fryer for 15 mins on 200 degrees. Nice and crunchy.
How do you like your pork belly, soft or crispy?

I bought a bag of 6 capsicums for only $5 this week and searched cookidoo for a dinner option. I will definitely make these stuffed capsicums again but I will try using Browning mode to cook the filling and the varoma to steam the capsicum as I prefer more texture than the steamed version. The tomato sauce was so smooth with great flavor. I would also just use the regular steamed rice recipe.

This is a great quick and easy dish to make. I eat it for breakfast or lunch with a side salad. I use bacon bits so no need to chop up bacon strips and I add a chopped carrot and extra cheese on top. Cut it into squares and freeze portions for a quick breakfast or lunch.
