Irene

My name is Irene and I am the main editor of Loving Thermo. I have a degree in Translation and Interpreting (although nowadays I work in the world of international cooperation). I've been working in different food blogs for several years which have allowed me to meet great people and learn thousands of recipes and tips. My passion for cooking comes since I was young when I used to help my mother to cook. In my house we have always prepared dishes from all over the world, and this, together with my great passion for exotic travels and everything related to the culinary world, have made cooking one of my big hobbies. Then I met the Thermomix, and I knew it would be my great ally in the kitchen. Today can't imagine cooking without it!.

Russian Salad

Fantastic recipe of Russian Salad, juicy and really tasty, my favourite!. You can prepare it in advance and have it ready for example for the dinner, or if you have guests at home, or maybe you can to carry this salad with you to work or to a picnic.

You can also prepare your own mayonnaise sauce at home easily with your Thermomix (we will soon publish this recipe). But if you are going to prepare this Russian Salad in summer time, it is better that you buy the mayonnaise sauce in order to avoid problems like salmonellosis…

Chickpeas hummus

I have guests at home this weekend and I will prepare them an Arabic tasting menu, so that they can know the delicious of Arabic food. I really love food for Arabic countries. It is really exotic and tasty.

One of the dishes of this tasting menu will surely be this chickpea hummus. It has the same texture of a purée and it is perfect for dipping. It is believed that the origine of this dish comes from Egipt, but today, it is really widespread through Middle East. You can eat with with pita bread, that we can cut it in triangles and dip with it. It is really important that you use “tahine” for preparing this hummus. This will give the authentic Arabic touch. Tahine is a brown cream made with sesame.

Hummus is very easy to prepare, it works perfectly fine as a starter and it is very healthy. You can also prepare it in advance. I have used already cooked chickpeas (for saving time) but you can also use dry chickpeas.

Pumpking and cabbage cream soup

Original cream soup, made of cabbage and pumpking. You will be surprised by its flavours combination. Perfect for a starter in your Thanksgiving Day dinner.
