The sparkling rosé is getting all the attention, but the important thing in this photo is the little tin sitting in front of it. Easy to miss, goes absolutely everywhere I go, and it's full of Flavour Bomb Salt.

Which brings me neatly to the question I get more than any other about our flavoured salt blends: "what do I put it on?" I love that question, because it tells me people are worried about doing it wrong. This is serious business!

So here's my honest answer: you can't really do it wrong. Truly. The method is cook something simple, sprinkle generously, taste. That's it. Eggs, rice, pasta, soups, roasts, salads... if it's savoury, it works.

Don't take my word for it though. Take Suz's: "My current favourite is the No-Chicken Chicken Salt and Flavour Bomb. Both have been added to so many dishes, just delish!"

That's the pattern with these. You buy the Starter Pack (all five at a discount!) thinking you'll use one. Then one Tuesday you're out for lunch somewhere, quietly pulling a bag of Flavour Bomb Salt out of your handbag to sprinkle over your meal... and wondering how on earth you got here.

Ask me how I know 😊 That tin has rescued a lot of very ordinary lunches.

Which brings me to a genuine question: would you buy the little tins if we stocked them? Tell me in the comments, because if enough of you want them I'll look into it properly.

Bland dinner? Not in this house.

If you've been staring at the range wondering which to pick, this is the post for you. I've broken down what's actually in each blend and why it works, so you know exactly what you're getting before it lands on your bench. And if you're still stuck, start with the original Flavour Bomb Salt - it's the all-rounder that started the whole thing, and nobody has ever regretted it. Everything is hand-made in small batches, vegan, and made with no added MSG. Save this one for when you're deciding.

**Organic Flavour Bomb Salt** is the original and the all-rounder. Tamari, organic mustard seeds, garlic, coriander, chilli and a hit of liquid smoke. It's the one everyone starts with, and the one most people never stop using.

**Organic No-Chicken Chicken Salt** has no chicken in it at all. The magic is organic coconut sugar sitting next to nutritional yeast and celery. That tiny bit of sweetness against the salt is exactly what makes takeaway-style chicken salt so hard to put down, and it's why plain salt on hot chips never quite scratches the itch.

**No-Bacon Bacon Salt** works on the same principle. What you actually miss about bacon isn't the meat, it's the smoke and the caramelised edge. Liquid smoke and organic sweet paprika do that job.

**Instant Italian Salt** leads with tomato flakes plus organic basil, garlic, thyme and oregano. Dried tomato is enormously concentrated, so you're adding tomato depth to a dish without adding any liquid. Brilliant on eggs, garlic bread and roast potatoes.

**Bolognese Boost Salt** is the deep one: porcini mushrooms, tomato flakes and organic lemon peel. Porcini is one of the most umami-dense things you can keep in a pantry, which is why it makes a meat bolognese taste more like itself, and a vegan one taste like it's been simmering since breakfast.

After 20 years cooking in a , I can tell you the most underused part of the machine is the Varoma. Most of us wheel it out to steam a few veggies and that is about it. For years that bugged me, because steam is one of the healthiest ways to cook, and the Varoma is capable of cooking entire meals, sauce and all…. but only with the right accessory! And that's where our Silicone Steaming Mat comes in.

Here is the why: without the mat, anything wet or delicate falls straight through the steaming tray, so you are stuck with veggies, no flavour. The mat holds everything, in including marinade, safely in place while the steam still circulates. That means you can poach salmon in a honey-soy-ginger sauce while your rice cooks underneath, steam a whole curry, or cook the most foolproof omelette of your life. It is the only way I cook eggs now, and yes, it happily cooks away while I am in the shower.

Now for the news TM7 owners have been waiting for: the mat comes in a size made specifically for the TM7. The original mat does work in the TM7, so if you already have it, keep using it. The TM7 Varoma is just a little bigger, so the new size fits it perfectly and gives you room for an extra serve. Same product page, you just choose your variant.

And the bit I love most, especially on a busy night: when dinner is done, the only thing to wash is the mat. Your bowl and Varoma come out wet, not dirty. That is my kind of clean-up. If you have been meaning to actually use and love your Varoma, this is your sign. You've got this. Alyce xo

One of my favourite desserts when entertaining - individual cheesecakes! These can be made up to three days in advance, served straight from the fridge (meaning no time spent in the kitchen when guests are there!) and look just so cute. Oh, and of course everyone LOVES them! Rave reviews every time. And guess what? Cooking them to perfection is a piece of cake (excuse the pun!) because we steam them rather than baking giving us exact temperature control. The other thing that makes this recipe fool proof is that we steam the cheesecakes in our Silicone Dariole Moulds - these moulds are naturally non-stick (no coatings that can flake off) and are flexible, making it super easy to remove our cheesecakes.

Homemade gluten-free pasta, but better - and without a bag of mystery flour in sight! If you're gluten free and love pasta, I am about to be your new best friend!

Our recipe for the Thermomix transforms wholesome, real ingredients into silky, satisfying pasta that rivals the traditional version. Say goodbye to crumbly, store-bought substitutes and hello to fresh, made-from-scratch pasta that just happens to be gluten-free. Simple, foolproof, and utterly delicious - your pasta nights will never be the same.

After years of gluten-free baking in the Thermomix, here's the thing I feel strongest about: I will never reach for a packet of gluten-free flour. Anyone can do that, and the results usually speak for themselves, crumbly, bland, and full of ingredients I don't want in my body.

Here's why my loaves are different. I build them from real, whole ingredients milled fresh in the Thermomix: buckwheat, flaxseeds, chia and psyllium husks. That means they are naturally high in fibre and protein, so a single slice keeps you full and satisfied for hours, far longer than a slice of white or even wheat sourdough. For me, gluten-free cooking has never been about what you leave out, it's every bit as much about what you put in.

If gluten is off the menu in your house, or you just want your bread doing more for you, my Wholesome Gluten-Free Bread cookbook has five loaves I come back to again and again. And if you want the lot (plus my Low Carb and Super Healthy cookbooks, a bread tin liner and my Thermo Spoon Spatula), the Gluten Free Pack bundles them at a discount.

You've got this. Alyce xo

A classic recipe that couldn’t be overlooked to ditch the meat, although no one will be able to tell the difference! The textured vegetable protein mimics mincemeat while everything else blends for the perfect bolognaise flavour. Stock up the pantry with the non-perishable ingredients as this is going to be a weekly staple.
