Varoma. Steamed barramundi with soy/garlic/ginger sauce and julienne salad.

by Dani

Lil Miss had her sixth birthday party today. A lovely little affair at our favourite park. Lunch time parties tend to make me somewhat recalcitrant about cooking dinner. Entirely due to constant nibbling. Fortunately for the hungry men of the household, I was all set with a meal so light, delicious and quick to prepare […]

Thermomix. Steamed fish with tamarind and ginger sauce

by Dani

Here is a quick and healthy meal to cheer your tastebuds. All cooked in the thermomix with the help of the varoma.

Super quick brunch, lunch or dinner. You choose.

by Dani

February is the new December. Busy, busy, busy. Not to mention often too hot to cook. This little meal is not only versatile in the time of day that it suits but it’s delicious and can be made in 10 minutes from start to finish. What more could you possibly want? Poached salmon, egg and […]

Chez KP goes Vietnamese

by Dani

Ahh Vietnamese food. It never fails to delight. Never. Every dish was hungrily gobbled and loudly praised this evening. The soup was magical. My love for pho is not unknown but I simply did not have the time to make the stock. I’ve found my quick substitute soup. The beef and Vietnamese coriander soup is […]

After a night out of the kitchen last night, today we resumed our world tour. Tonight’s top, Thailand. First Born has identified it on the map, read a book about it, drawn the flag and listed similarities between Japan and Thailand. I hope he always loves learning this much. And in such a self directed […]

We went to the library today and he borrowed books on Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, France, Russia and Germany. Today he read his book on Japan, located Japan in his Atlas and drew the Japanese flag. Things like this […]

Grilled Trout & Steamed Vegetable Salad

by Dani

The end of spring in Melbourne has been scorchingly hot. Which I am absolutely relishing. I love both the warmth and the complete transformation of our meals into the wonderful world of salads. We’ve had this one twice since I first threw it together a week ago, the second time with the addition of some […]

Thermomix orange and basil sauce for fish

by Dani

The onset of spring has brought about a craving for light but filling meals here at chez KP. As the weather has been relatively cool, salads haven’t made much of an inroad to our table, instead, the varoma has been getting quite the workout. Fish and steamed vegetables, with or without rice has become a […]

Simple, cheap and delicious

by Dani

Sometimes, the simplest of meals receives the highest accolades. Tonight was one of those nights. Some simple little prawn and potato patties made from $3 of prawns and 3 potatoes with a simple lemon chive sauce and a mound of steamed vegetables. The family feed for just under $6 and the plates licked clean. There […]
