Cooking for Oscar - Finnish Christmas Stars (Joulutorttu) are very to easy to make, you can use any kind of pastry and any kind of filling. Traditionally they are made with plum or prune jam, but that was out. I could have just used pear or apple jam, but I wanted something a bit more festive, so I made up a pear filling with brown sugar, citric acid and maple syrup. I also used a few saffron threads to get a deeper colour into the mix. [read more] |
This recipe is from Cooking for Oscar. Perfect for Christmas, as you can make the biscuits weeks in advance and then decorate on the day, or the day before. [read more] |
Panettone which is an Italian sweet bread usually made for Christmas. It's normally filled with many dried fruits and peels, like currants, raisins and citrus peel. Stuff we can't eat while FAILSAFE. I am not going to claim this to be 'authentic', but I think the intention is clear. This is "Failsafe Panettone" and these can sit proudly at any Christmas table. [read more] |
This recipe from Miss Jayne's Coffee House is a great recipe to try for Christmas. Perfect for parties, gifts or even to hang on the tree. [read more] |
This is my favourite Thermomix fudge recipe. I usually make a couple of batches for Christmas, some to give as gifts and some for us to indulge in. It contains glucose syrup which usually contains a preservative in it. The preservative is cooked off during the cooking process when it is boiled. [recipe] If you are after a traditional fudge recipe, try this Quick Carob Fudge from the fed up web site. |
Gingerbread HouseThis fun Gingerbread Recipe from Failsafe foodie is gluten free and perfect to make with the whole family. Decorate with royal icing, or add citric acid to icing for flavoured 'lemon' icing, marshmallows, honeycomb, carob buttons, nestle white melts, musk sticks, and failsafe candy canes from Allergy Train, This recipe from FedUp for Christmas cookies is fun to make and perfect as a plate to share at a party. Kersten's Kitchen even has a gingerbread recipe for you to try. These cookies are made like your usual gingerbread, we just leave out the spices to be low chemical. |
Domestic Diva - Red quinoa looks so pretty cooked and made me think of Christmas. With our hot climate in Australia, I would much rather have salads to eat on Christmas day, so here is one just a bit different. Oh, and you don’t need to wait for Christmas to have it… is great with a BBQ or as a side to any dish, any time of year. [read more] |

The thought of having the oven on for hours to cook a whole chicken in summer was not appealing at all. Especially on Christmas day! Steaming a whole chook in the Thermomix sounds like such a much better idea. [read more] |
