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

Well Perth… you really outdid yourself.

I can’t thank Anna and Rod enough for their incredible hospitality, kindness, and friendship. It truly was a week filled with belly laughs, passionate yelling, plenty of love, brainstorming sessions, and so much fun. Oh and let’s not forget the cooking. Anna’s shortbread. Oh wow oh wow oh wow! I got 2 big bags to bring home to Chris @enjoy.theday 

From fantastic meetings with David from @thelupinco at the East Fremantle Yacht Club, to a beautiful dinner at Mary and Rob’s (Anna’s lovely parents), birthday dinners at the pub, and wandering the night markets sharing ice-cream — every moment was special.

The weather spoiled me too. Leaving 40 degrees behind and stepping off the plane into 11 was a bit of a shock! But I did get lucky enough to catch a little rainbow orb from my window seat, which felt like the perfect goodbye.

Thank you, Perth. I’ll be back. ✈️✨
When a lovely client and friend asked me to make a baby shower cake for their son and daughter-in-law, I was so excited! 🎂
Hannah sent through a photo of what she wanted — I tried and tried, but just couldn’t get it right (the joys of home baking!). She told me she’d be happy with a plain white cake… but I thought, no way!

So I came up with a new plan — and it worked 🙌
A four-tier White Chocolate Funkybatter Cake with Nutella filling, covered in silky FunkybatterCream, fondant flowers, and a touch of gold leaf ✨

Did it go to plan? Not exactly.
Did it turn out beautifully? I think so 💛
Always learning, always creating.
