I recently told a Thai chef that I had made my own Massaman paste with 12 ingredients! She then quietly told me hers has 21 ingredients, many of which she sources in her home country. That got me thinking. Although we can make our own curry pastes in the Thermomix, they don’t always taste quite…

I’m often trying to think of something different to take to afternoon tea for bowls. It’s easy to think of a sweet dish, but savoury can be tricky. These pizza scrolls are ideal as they are simple to make and reheat well in the oven. You can use any fillings you like – leftover chicken,…
