Hey Fabulous Foodies

After what feels like the longest month, we are now in February and it’s the perfect time to share a special meal. Whether it’s a romantic dinner or a cosy meal with your favourite person, your Thermomix makes it effortless to create an indulgent, restaurant-quality experience at home. Scroll down for my special menu ideas.

It’s been a whirlwind recently and my day job ✈️🌍 has been interfering 🤦🏻‍♀️ But don’t worry, I might not have any demo and events in the diary at the moment, but they will be popping up over the coming weeks. Keep look out 👀 in the Facebook group for details coming out.

I don’t think that February is just about Valentine’s Day, love is more than one day a year. I’ve been thinking about what I love about Thermomix and my TM6 – there are lots of things, but I’ve managed to get it down to 5 to share with you 🔽🔽

💚 Effortless Cooking: I love how easy it is to cook!

💚 A Tidy Kitchen: Minimal mess – my kitchen is no longer trashed every meal.

💚 Culinary Inspiration: I love that it inspires me to try new things and new techniques

💚  Foolproof Results: Even when I’m distracted and busy, I don’t screw up the cooking.

💚 Community: I LOVE the Thermomix Community 💖

Owner Spotlight

I love hearing stories from myThermomix owners who are discovering how the TM6 can change their worlds. Recently one of my owners told me a story 📖

She had a poorly cat who needed to have a diet of plain chicken. In the past, she’s boiled the chicken and shredded it with forks, and she wasn’t looking forward to doing that again! A 💡 moment. On Cookidoo she looked up a shredded chicken recipe and found  Shredded Chicken Satay Pad Thai. Skipping straight to the chicken steps in the recipe, she was able to perfectly steam and easily shred the chicken. Great for the cat, but it’s meant that shredded chicken is a staple in the house now for easy salads and sandwich fillings. And with a Mexican marinade, it makes the ideal topping for nachos.

🤔  Did you know you could shred meat in your Thermomix?

Manual Shredding Instructions:

1. Steam the Meat: Place your meat (e.g., chicken breasts) in the Varoma dish. Add 750g water to the Thermomix bowl, and if desired, add some stock, garlic, and herbs for extra flavour. Steam for 15-20 minutes/Varoma/speed 1, adjusting time based on thickness and weight.
2. Shred the Meat: Once cooked and slightly cooled, place the meat into the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 3 sec/reverse/speed 4. If you’d like it finer, mix for a second or two more—it’s better to under-mix at first rather than over-mix!

Featured Recipes

Whether it’s a romantic meal for 2, or you’re having a get together with a friend or one of your favourite people, it’s a great excuse to treat yourself to a delicious 3 course meal. Let’s dive in, with some inspiration. Luckily for Thermomix owners, we have Cookidoo as the recipe platform that integrates into the TM6, and there’s a huge range of recipes to choose from.

For starters, I’ve picked the Baba Ganoush, a creamy, smoky aubergine dip that is the perfect dip for pitta bread. Or Baked Camembert with Mandarin Jam and Herb Crackers – A rich, gooey starter with a sweet citrus twist.

If you’re after a meat-free main, try the Indian-Spiced Roast Butternut and Chickpea Curry which can be served with Cauliflower Rice or a homemade Naan Bread. If meat is your thing give the Sous-vide Rare Beef Steak a go. Instead of the herb butter, a Béarnaise Sauce works wonderfully.

For dessert, I couldn’t not go with a chocolate option! The Chocolate Mousse is not only easy to made, but it’s delicious too. Accompany the meal with a lovely cocktail, or serve one as an aperitif like the Strawberry Lemonade Mimosa. Bon Appetit!

For more inspiration, check out the collections on Cookidoo such as; Table for Two, Homemade Valentine and Perfect Match.

I’d love to see your creations, so be sure to pop photos of your meals in the Facebook group.
