Recipe Review - p.7 Festive Flavours - Warm Brie with Basil Lemon Dressing

[cecilia]

Beautiful dish - exciting to serve - very quick to prepare - delicious and special.  I will definitely offer this again when I want to spoil people.  

I am not sure if I steamed the brie for too long, but I did notice a lot of the cheese had run down into the bowl and gone to waste, so rather than just lining the Varoma with a single piece of baking paper, I'd say two or three pieces are called for, and scrunched up a bit so that any cheese that becomes liquid runs into the crinkles of the paper rather than off the edges and into the bowl.

If it happens again next time I think I'll be prepared to jump in and make bread or scones or something else that could benefit from the delicious-looking cheesy water.

Cecilia thanks for this. I have  made it and never posted a review. As you say it is very tasty.

You're very welcome, Cookie.  Tenina, it is you we need to thank for selecting this recipe for the book ... and developing it???

I don't think so. The Beetroot and Cashew dip is my creation, modelled on the ones you buy.

OK, Cookie - my apologies - so the book developers found your creation here or had you uploaded it to the other forum as well?

It's on here but from memory I think I sent it to Thermomix entering a competition. Recipe Community didn't exist then.
