Sue & Chris

The ThermoCouple

Life isn’t about dieting — it’s about building habits that last. After 5 years with WW, I realised it wasn’t enough for me anymore. Approaching 60, I needed a realistic, nourishing approach that supported my health — good fats, essential oils, and sustainable eating.

Now, I count calories, feel better, eat better, and still rely on my Thermomix almost daily to make it easy and delicious.

Curious? I’d love to share what’s working: sue@thethermocouple.com.au

I want to apologise for being absent with recipes and new food ideas lately. Work has been overwhelmingly busy, my weight has been up and down, and I’ve been running on crazy hours — averaging 10-hour days, six days a week, completely neglecting myself.

Bali is my chance to slow down, reflect, and reset my mind before returning home. With my 60th birthday coming up in December, I’m making a promise to focus on me and do all the things that nurture my body, mind, and soul.

BALI HERE WE COME!

Creamy Tomato Soup

Creamy Tomato Soup

I'm a Heinz girl - this knocks your sock off 🍅Amazing With so many tomatoes in supply in our home, we decided to try Cookidoos' Creamy Tomato Soup.

Morning from Sanur – honestly, this place is heaven on earth (with a touch of sauna on the side 🥵).
We kicked off at a “cool” 26° and humid, but the second the sun popped up it was like someone cranked the oven to full blast.

Our stroll from the hotel to the marina included a very necessary breakfast stop at Puri Santrian – because walking without food is just exercise, and nobody came here for that 😂.

Finished up with icy cold drinks for the girls and a well-earned Bintang for the boys 🍻. Hydration is key, after all!

Now it’s officially rest, recover, and pretend-we-didn’t-sweat-like-tourists time.

Our first morning in Sanur and of course we had to chase the sunrise! Roby, Chris and I wandered down to the beach at 5:40am, while Sue decided to snooze through it 😜 At first, the clouds made it look like we might miss out, but Sanur didn’t disappoint – what a magical morning 🌅

✨ 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!
