Everything is on the rise!

I couldn't help the pun. I went to a Thermomix Cooking Lesson last night. Easter Special run by my team leader Elishia, who is of Italian background. Made hotcross buns, butter cookies/biscuits, banana bread, gluten free bread and an Italian cake - Torte Caprese. Oh and that's not all... there was Watemelon & Mint Sorbet, fresh Lemonade, Honey Cinnamon Butter, Jaff Custard.

Ok I shall stop going on about sweets, for the savoury lovers, there was this devine Tuna Dip, Carrot Salad with walnuts (a bit like a Warldorf), Vege & Feta tomato pasta, smoked salmon & dill soup - thankfully the dill was not in the soup (Elishia modified the recipe).

Can you believe we fed nearly 30 people on this? I forgot to take photos as I was helping clean up and prep and plate as we went but it was fun to see how easy it is to cater for a group. Ok, to be honest, there were 2 or 3 Thermomixes and it required someone to help clean and get them back out there really fast - but that still means the cooking was done within an hour or so and you could socialise after each course!

The plan (end of March) I will test the hotcross bun recipe and the cinnamon butter (I might replace with maple syrup only because I don't have honey at home and that way the Vegan boy can have some). Will have to also change the hot cross bun recipe.
