Holiday Cooking
I hope you’re all enjoying the Christmas break – isn’t it nice to have some time off! I didn’t get around to taking photos of everything I made at Christmas, but here’s a few photos from our holiday cooking… using my Thermomix, of course! If you want the recipe for any of these, let me know. They are all dairy-free and naturally sweetened.
Happy holidays!
Raw Dairy-Free Berry Cheesecake
Chicken & Potato Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing
(from the Thermomix Festive Cookbook – the dressing is amazing!
Kiwi Fruit, Lime and Mint Sorbet
(So refreshing!)
Sabayon with Poached Meringue and Pistachios
(Very rich – take my advice and don’t eat it late at night – you won’t be able to sleep!)
Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Cranberry & Pistachio Stuffing
(Steamed in Varoma with sauce cooking in bowl, sliced potato steaming in small basket in bowl, and broccoli on top – delicious!)
Mini Steamed Puddings
(Steamed in Varoma – a bit rich for me!)
Crustless Macadamia Pie
(Delicious and very quick! Also made a Pecan version, which we liked best – no photo, must have eaten it too quickly!)
Holiday Jelly Salad
(A family favourite – homemade jelly made with cranberries, green apple, orange segments & juice, pineapple pieces & juice, pecans/walnuts, celery, honey & gelatin.)
Christmas Wreath Bread
(Homemade spelt & seed bread braided into a wreath shape – made these for gifts.)
Your food is always SO BEAUTIFUL! I follow your blog because one of my best friends is allergic to sugar, dairy, and gluten, and I like having recipes she can eat (though, I must admit, I still haven’t cooked anything from here for her! But I surely will soon). But thanks for posting the pictures too! You make it look beautiful. And if they taste as good as they look, I know they’re delicious!
Merry Christmas/Boxing day! 🙂
Great work again Jo – love those pics.
The sabayon and poached meringues sounds good. Might trouble you for the recipe for that one.
The crustless macadamia pie also – when you have time. Ta
Will check out the old posts when time permits,
Happy hols
Thanks M & J! My photos aren’t always as good as I’d like them (I only have a cheap digital camera these days), but I have a good program to help me fix the lighting, etc! (Sneaky!)
Thanks Thermomixer – I’ll post my version of the sabayon recipe (with poached meringue) and macadamia pie soon! 🙂
Oh, Jo – everything looked wonderful! Can I come over tomorrow for dinner? Hee-hee!
Wish you could, Julie! I’d love that! (But the leftovers are all gone now – sorry!) 🙂
Hi Jo,
Just found your blog recently….love the way you cook! 🙂
I’d really like the sorbet and the crustless macadamia nut/pecan pie recipes, if possible….I’m gluten free because of celiac disease, but if your recipe is not gluten free I may be able to convert it.
My email is joanno AT ipac DOT caltech DOT edu.
Merry (Belated) Christmas and Happy New Year!
JoAnn
Hi JoAnn,
