The ThermoCouple

Food, Thermomix & a Healthier Me

Life isn’t about dieting — it’s about creating habits that support your health long term.

After 5 years with WW, I decided to move on. With no local workshops and too much uncertainty, it no longer felt right for me. My age, blood test results, and conversations with my doctors made it clear: WW just wasn’t cutting it anymore.

As I approach 60, I’ve learned how vital good fats and essential oils are for women’s health. I needed a new approach — one that’s realistic, nourishing, and sustainable.

I’ve now shifted to calorie counting, and yes — it’s working! I’m feeling better, eating better, and still using my Thermomix almost every day to make it all easy and delicious.

Curious to know more? Reach out — I’m happy to share what’s working for me: sue@thethermocouple.com.au

Thermomix Chicken & Vegetable Stir Fry

Thermomix Chicken & Vegetable Stir Fry

In our house, anything stir fry goes down a treat. I love the ease of it. The taste of it, the use of using left over vegetable. It just great. I serve ours with boiled rice. Usually the left over rice from another night that I have frozen. I either just microwave the rice quickly or throw it in a fry pan with some egg, bacon, salt and pepper and I'm done. Super quick - super ...

Profiteroles in a Thermomix

I love Profiteroles - my hips don't! However, I keep seeing them on "The Great Australian/British Bake Off" and I think maybe I can make them although they always say they are HARD. NOT AT ALL - I was shocked as to how easy they were and how tasty they were. I used the following recipes CHOUX PASTRY - Cookidoo CREME PATISSIERE - Cookidoo MELTED CHOCOLATE - TTC Recipe  Below are my ...
Viennetta Ice Cream – In a Thermomix

Viennetta Ice Cream – In a Thermomix

As everyone that knows us knows, Chris is the Ice Cream King! He just loves it. He would have it for every meal if he could!! I on the other hand can take it or leave it, but NOT in this case. His Salted Caramel Ice Cream is to DIE for. Creamy, luxurious and delicious. Last weekend I decided to change things up a bit. I said to Chris "let's make viennetta ice cream instead of Choc Chip". We ...

Baby Food in a Thermomix

Did you know that purees for babies can be made in the Thermomix® and that Cookidoo is FULL of recipes to make. Our Granddaughter Ivy has just started solids and loving every moment of them. Elizabeth started with the basics, as we all have. Rice cereal which she makes by milling flour. She know then that what Ivy is getting is the real deal and no additives whatsoever.    Babies ...

Italian Semolina Bread

Super Tasty - no fail Bread Bread of any type is something Chris loves to make. He has tried quite a few, with many failures. This one however was on the Recipe Community and it JUST WORKED and tasted great. The reason I am putting it here on our website is because it has disappeared from the RC. It is far too good not to share. I would really like to credit the recipe to the writer, but I ...

✨ Dinner tonight was a winner! ✨ We made Jamie Oliver’s Fantastic Fish Pie 🐟🥧 and it did not disappoint. Creamy, comforting, and full of flavour — this dish instantly took me back to childhood memories of Mum’s salmon kedgeree 💛

There’s something so nostalgic about a fish pie — the crispy golden top, the rich filling, the feeling of being wrapped in a warm food hug. Just what you need on a cold winters night.

If you’re craving comfort food that hits the spot, this is it. Thanks Jamie — you’ve done it again! 👏

I did use cooking cream, not double cream and cut back on the cheese but could I tell the difference-NO!

Tonight’s dinner was the ultimate comfort food – Easy Cheesy French Onion Chicken Bake from Anna’s website. @feedmehealthy_annavandyken 

It’s one of our all-time favourites – rich, full of flavour, and irresistibly delicious. That golden, cheesy top gets us every time! We always serve it with creamy mashed potatoes and a side of steamed veggies. Simple, hearty, and oh-so-satisfying. Comfort food done right. 💛🍽️ Calories: 500 for my meal. Anna’s Chicken 350 per breast.

Wow 🤩 Anna’s PEACH & CHERRY CRUMBLES are next level! I split it into 4 serves so we can enjoy it all over again tomorrow 😍

When I first made this, I wasn’t sure the crumble would be enough for the fruit… but it was perfect. Now it is my go to dessert. Sweet and healthy and only 300 calories for a large serve. 

Huge thanks to Anna for this beautiful recipe! It’s from her second book 💛✨ @feedmehealthy_annavandyken

It’s been way too long since I made this Chicken, Spinach & Leek Risotto — and I forgot how much I love it! 💚🍚

I used to avoid it because WW had it super high in points, but after crunching the macros and calories myself, it actually stacks up really well:

✨ 322 cals
🍗 29g protein
🥑 20g fat
🌱 3g total carbs

I’m not on WW anymore, so can’t give you the points — but trust me, it’s so worth it. Comfort food done right! 🙌
