A Girl, a Gay & a Thermo

This week we dive into the delicious world of RecipeTin Eats and tackle a couple of Nagi's iconic recipes in the Thermomix. We chat about how to convert her stovetop methods into Thermie-friendly steps, what works brilliantly in the bowl and where using your machine manually is the key to recipe conversion. If you've ever looked at a RecipeTin Eats recipe and wondered 'can I do this in my Thermie?' - this episode is for you.

Featuring recipes from Nagi Maehashi of RecipeTin Eats.

You've heard us talk manual mode, now we're breaking it down. In this bonus episode, we unpack the modes on your Thermomix - what they actually do, when to use them and which ones we secretly love. From the ever expanding chop mode, to turbo, to sous vide, this is your no-recipe, no-pressure guide to understanding your machine properly. Whether you're cooking from Cookidoo or adapting recipes like we did last week with Chrissie Swan (and next week with Recipe Tin Eats), this ep will boost your knowledge and your confidence. And, find out who George Tropicana is.

This week we are bowing down to the queen herself - Chrissie Swan - as we cook from her new cookbook The Shortcut Queen and Thermify some of her recipes (yes, we made up Thermify). We tackle her chicken soup, pasta alla vodka, have a hot minute about her quiches and boldly attempt a rice pilaf - all using the machine manually and talking through how to adapt each recipe for the Thermo. Also, Erin is... not well. The fangirling is strong and Bronte is trying to keep her together.
Can you turn a stovetop shortcut into a blade spinning masterpiece? Tune in to find out.

This week we're diving fork-first into STEAK. We're talking all the classics - Diane, peppercorn, red wine jus, mushroom... plus the beauty of butter on a steak. We're debating surf & turf (iconic or a crime?), steak tartare (refined or just raw mince on a plate?) and the terrifying moment Erin told us what a carpet bag steak is (it's a lot).

We're in our Meat Era. Tune in!

After surviving the great laptop disaster of 2026 (RIP Erin's computer), we are officially back in the recording saddle - and what better way to return than by galloping straight into the Luna New Year? As we say goodbye to the Year of the Snake and welcome in the Year of the Fire Horse, we also discuss;
Traditional Chinese New Year dishes and what they symbolise.
Growing up at our local Chinese restaurants.
A couple of scrumptious prawn recipes, steaming a giant bird and the BEST bao buns ever.
