Baby Spinach Avocado Salad with Thai Dressing
Having a thermomix do not mean I have to cook my food all the time right? Most enzyme will be lost when food are heated beyond 40C.
After having a 80% raw diet for the past 3 years, I do crave for some hot staff, but after eating too much hot staff, especially after owning a Bimby, I now crave for some fresh crunchy salad! Well, I quess I am having the best of both world, depending on the mood of the day!
Ingredient:
Baby spinach
Cherry tomato
Button Mushroom
Lettuce
Avocado
Cucumber
Anything!
Thai Dressing:
Olive Oil 2tbsp
Palm sugar 2tsp
Fish Sauce a splash
Lime juice 1tbsp
Garlic 1 glove
Salt pinch
Mango Ice Cream
This is the first thing I made from the newly opened thermomix! How easy is that just to cut and freeze up some fruits and fresh ice-cream any time, anyflavors! All natural and sugar free!
The thermomix calls for some sugar and condensed milk, I assure you can do without them and it still taste creamy and sweet, just make sure you choose the very ripe mango!
Sole Ingredient!
2-3 Ripe mango (I prefered 'lily' mango)
Method:
1. Peel and cut into 1x1in cube, freeze well.
2. Put into Tm bowl, dial up to speed10 for 10-20second.
Watch out it turn from flaky ice to creamy in split second, serve immediately or store in fridge.

Gluten Free, Flour-less carrot cake
The white staffs are bad, white flour, white sugar, white rice, white bread.... Not just bad for diabetic people, but if we all eat like a diabetic people we will not have diseases in the first place.
White staff are mere starch and calories with minimal vitamins and nutrients. I quit baking for a while after deciding to be healthy, but i miss the fun of baking, how to bake without flour, sugar and butter?
Thanks to various recipe online and I found some amazing flour-less recipe that open up a new baking world to me.
This recipe uses 100% quinoa grain. Quinoa is high in essential amino acid and great source of protein compared to normal cereal and its gluten free. Iti is called the mother-of-all-grain by the Incas people.
To make 'flour' out of it, I simply pulverize it with Thermomix. The thermy did such a good job that I can even sift the gounded quinoa!
The carrot cake turn out to be so spongy moist and soft, you can't tell it has NO FLOUR! It remain soft and moist the next day!
-Quinoa flour 1c (pulverize from quinoa grain)
-Brown Sugar 1/3c(reduced)
-Carrot 1-1/2c
-Olive oil 1/2c
-Baking soda 1tsp
-Baking powder 1tsp
-Cinnamon powder 1tsp,
-Nutmeg powder 1/4tsp
-SeaSalt pinch
-Egg 2
-Pineapple jam(homemade)1tbsp
-Raisin 1/2c, some walnut, pineapple chucks.
1.Sift all dry ingredient in a seperate bowl
2.Mix sugar, oil together well, add in egg one at a time.
3.Fold in dry ingredient
4.Add in carrot, raisin n walnuts
5.Bake at 170 for 15-18min
