I know I’m a day late with this 10 on 10 post, but it’s my birthday week and I’ll post when I want to (in between cake!) It’s been a busy old month because al though I was out of the kitchen for almost all of the month of June, I certainly made up for the time I missed before I went overseas and since I’ve come home. Here’s what’s been cooking in my kitchen!
My friend Leda makes the most fantastic food. I think she’d be really good on that Ready Steady Cook TV programme because you can give her any number of random ingredients and she can make something utterly delicious out of them! Leda’s 4 ingredient Eggplant Tzatziki is proof of that, it’s quick, easy and a really delicious twist on regular tzatziki. Luckily, David is anti-eggplant so I didn’t have to share which suits me just fine!
Before I left for the UK, I had a flu that I couldn’t fix and lots of vegetables that I hadn’t eaten. After a week long course of self prescribed Auntie Sandra’s  Chicken Soup, I moved on to vegetable varieties and this Thermomix Potato and Zucchini Soup really hit the spot. Given that there’s no cream in the ingredients list, it’s surprisingly thick and creamy and green but not mean.

Working my way through the vegetable crisper, I converted this Spiced Carrot and Lentil Soup  to the Thermomix and loved it so much I made it on the stove too. It’s a bit thicker when made on...
