THE PREMIUM AREA
A week at the chalet, or a house full of guests at Christmas?
It’s always the same person in the kitchen whilst the others are having a laugh by the fire… This year, we’re cooking in advance: six homemade dishes, tested after being frozen. Once we’re there, we just reheat them and join in the fun.

Express lemonade (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
There's nothing like chilled homemade lemonade to quench your thirst on a hot day. This super-fast recipe has become a classic in my house: I make it for family, friends and sometimes even for the workers at home. It's always greeted with a big smile. You can serve it as is or sweetened with a little sparkling or still water, as you prefer.
