I'm all about food! You will find me geeking out on the nutritional values of food. I love the good it can do for our health. That desire for health is balanced with a generous helping of food lust! I am a genuine foodie; I choose my travel destinations based on food cravings, and I have barely finished one meal before I am thinking about the next.
A love of international cuisines has seen me take extended vacations to develop recipes for my cookbook and website, ThermoKitchen. ThermoKitchen is a highly specialised website because it features recipes for the Thermomix, Magimix, Optimum and all-in-one cookers. I have adapted recipes from my travels to allow them to be cooked in this time-saving device. ThermoKitchen has grown to one of Australia's most popular Thermomix recipe sites and one of the very few independent sources of Thermomix recipes.
Readers can look forward to seeing more recipes with additional instructions for Magimix and Optimum. My focus is on delicious food, not the machine on your bench!
About My Thermomix Recipes
On this site, you will find loads of free Thermomix recipes to inspire your Thermal cooking. Some examples include my delicious Thermomix pancakes and Thermomix coleslaw. We share a wide range of recipes that are suitable for Thermomix TM31, TM5, TM6, TM7, Magimix and Optimum. Choose from family-friendly meals, Thermomix snacks, lunchbox ideas for the kids, decadent desserts, or healthy smoothies. Whatever you're looking for, you will find something delicious on the ThermoKitchen website.
Remember the saying, "Variety is the spice of life!" You will create so much more with an All-in-one cooking device on your bench. Some of my recipes are also suitable for a high-powered blender. You will find them tagged.

More About Me
As someone who is totally fascinated by food, I went back to my studies and received my qualification as a Nationally Recognised Nutritionist. Starting my Positive Nutrition website and business, I have been enjoying helping people meet their personal goals. I then completed a Certificate in Hormonal Health with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.
Good health allows us to enjoy an active and meaningful life. As individuals' health and nutrition aren't "one size fits all." However, it is the decisions we make every day that will either contribute to our wellness or deplete our reserves and risk our long-term health and happiness.
