Crispy. Sticky. Sweet. Spicy. Absolute flavour bomb. 🤤🔥

Tonight’s dinner was this Crispy Korean Tofu with rice and broccoli, all made in the TM7… and honestly, it tastes like something straight out of a restaurant (minus the price tag 👀).

The tofu is perfectly crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, coated in that rich, sticky Korean-style sauce… with fluffy rice and fresh broccoli to balance it all out. Proper comfort food, but still feels fresh and wholesome 💚

If you’re stuck in a “what on earth do I cook tonight?” rut… this is your answer.

If you’ve got a Thermomix, this is a must-try.
If you haven’t… this is exactly the kind of meal that makes people seriously consider one 😏

Sorbet shouldn’t be this creamy… but this one is.

In just 5 minutes, you can turn frozen mango into a silky, scoopable, ice-cream-level dessert — and the secret is something you’d normally throw away.

Aquafaba.

That tin of chickpeas in your cupboard? The liquid is the game changer. It whips, it lightens, and it gives this sorbet a texture you’d never expect.

No churning. No waiting around. No complicated steps.
Just throw it in, blend… and you’ve got a dessert that tastes like you’ve put in way more effort than you have.

Perfect for:
✔️ Last-minute desserts
✔️ Hot days when you want something refreshing and indulgent
✔️ Showing off a clever little kitchen trick

This is one of those recipes that makes people stop mid-bite and go:
“Wait… how did you make this?!”

You know those evenings where you just stand in the kitchen thinking…

“What on earth am I going to cook tonight?” 😩

That used to be me. Constantly.

One of the reasons I genuinely love using my TM7 is that it just takes that mental load away. I don’t have to think, plan, or stress — I just follow along, and it sorts itself out.

I don’t talk about offers much… but this one is actually worth knowing about.

They’re currently doing:

✔️ 0% finance over 24 or 36 months
✔️ Zero deposit
✔️ Plus bundle options depending on how you want to use it

It’s not something they run very often, either, so it's a great opportunity.

If you’ve ever been curious, or just fed up with the daily “what’s for dinner” battle… it might be worth a look.

No pressure at all — just thought I’d share because I know how much it’s helped me 💚

🥣 Cheesy Broccoli Soup (Part 1 of 3)

I’m putting together a full 3-course meal…
for under £10… feeding 4 people.

A deliciously creamy, cheesy broccoli soup, all made in the TM7 with hardly any effort.

No standing around, no juggling pans… just throw everything in and let it do its thing.

It’s:
✔ filling
✔ cheap
✔ ready in minutes

This alone would do as a full meal, but it’s just the start…

Next up: the main 👀

If you want the full 3-course idea once it’s finished, keep an eye out — I’ll be sharing all of it.

Chickpea Tikka Masala with cauliflower rice

It’s one of those meals that tastes like you’ve put loads of effort in…
but in reality, it’s just thrown together and left to do its thing.

The sauce is super rich and comforting, chickpeas are doing their job soaking everything up, and the cauliflower rice just works — keeps it lighter but still fills you up.

This is exactly the kind of meal I lean on when I can’t be bothered to cook but still want something decent… not beige freezer food or another takeaway.

Also makes loads, so you’ve basically sorted tomorrow’s dinner without even trying.

I’ll definitely be making this again 👌

🍽️ 3 Course Meal for Under £10 (Feeds 4) – In Under 1 Hour in my TM7

Tomorrow I’m doing a quick demo using the TM7… nothing fancy, just proper, everyday food that actually works.

I’ll be making:

🥣 Creamy Broccoli Soup
🍚 Mushroom and Spinach Risotto(no standing there stirring forever)
🥭 Creamy Mango Sorbet

Everything from scratch, all plant-based, and all done in under an hour.

The total cost? Under £10 for 4 people.

This is exactly how I cook most days — quick, low effort, and decent food without overthinking it.

If you’re fed up of spending money on food that doesn’t go far, or just can’t be bothered with complicated recipes after a long day… this will be worth a watch.

I’ll post the link tomorrow — comment if you want me to send it over 👍
