Hi there! I'm Belinda; a mother of two marvellous little people, an avid eater, and (mostly) avid cook.
"Sweet Revolutions" is a space to share the recipes I enjoy making for my family and friends in my Thermo Mixer. (And to be honest that scares the bejesus out of me!) Many of my recipes are wholly original, whereas others may be adaptations or conversions that started out to make life easier for my husband who can't "convert" a recipe for the Thermomix® even if his life depends on it (love you babe ;)). As the name "Sweet Revolutions" suggests there is an emphasis on recipes for sweet tasting food/desserts (yup, I'm a sweet tooth), and in particular those made using whole foods. I have also included those occasional refined sugar treats, however I tend to use less refined sugar than tradition often dictates. Sometimes though I just go "The Full Monty!". All of the photos you see have been taken by myself. I had no idea what I was doing in the beginning (thank goodness for the "food" setting on the camera) and still have a long way to go, but I mostly enjoy the photography, and hopefully the photos aren't too shabby. I am hoping that I will have the chance to post new recipes regularly, but who knows what tomorrow will bring. Perhaps it will get no further than the initial handful of recipes I start with... I have to thank: my parents for instilling in myself a love of food; my sister Michelle, "the chef", (thermofoodieandthechef.com) for giving me the courage to start this space; my husband for being my "rock", providing me with his tech savvy, and allowing fair use of his taste buds; and of course my children for providing me daily with inspiration and motivation to cook (because let's face it, how could they not when they eat so darn much!)
