This sounds delish!! I'm really keen to try this. Isn't there a homemade sweet chilli dipping sauce recipe too that we can use? :)

Thanks Judy - this is exactly what I have been trying to find! :)

Are these all the recipes in the book or just a sample? :)

Just about to give these a try and was hoping someone was online to tell me if the cups mentioned are TM MC or  standard baking measuring cups? Sorry if its a silly question, but I'm still new to this! :)

I've never had cauliflower soup before but if they all taste like this, then YUMMO!
Seriously tasty soup, so easy to whip up too!

Just delicious!

I used cornflour to thicken at the end. This will be added to our list of favourites!  :)

Sound great - found this while searching for easy lunch ideas for my 11month old. May have to look at getting the book, once I get into the swing of using TM. :)

Soups / Re: Potato and Leek Soup..yummo!

Also made this soup for lunch today. Has a great taste. Mine was like potato puree at first,  so think my 4 potatoes may have been too big, but nothing that some extra cream & a dash of milk couldn't sort out. Tasty! :)

Well, here's another update!

My Consultant has really been working hard this morning - she was on to HO, who have agreed to replace the seal, MC and butterfly. Apparently, she didn't have to do much convincing on the matter, so perhaps HO read my intro! :P

Then I get another call from my Consultant, who happened to have all the replacement parts in her 'tool box', so she was able to drop them around today! AWESOME right? :)

My Consultant said she cannot get a guarantee from HO that there are no further errors in the 2nd edition of the new EDC, so she will wait a few weeks to see if anyone reports anything further and if not, then I can get mine. How great is that?? It's so nice to have a Consultant who looks out for her customers like that! Has anyone else got the 2nd edition? If so, noticed any errors?

Great to hear LouLou. If you wash the seal, lid and butterfly in the dishwasher or hot soapy water a few times and then leave to air dry you will probably find that while they may be a little discoloured still the flavour will have gone.

The discolouration has gone, but sadly the flavour/smell is still there on the seal. I think this will now become my butter chicken seal! LOL

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and encouragement!! After posting here, I did some more reading on the forum and it turns out that almost everything I've been trying to make from the EDC has an error in the recipe!!! I've spoken to my consultant who wasn't aware of the errors at first, but is now working on getting me a replacement copy of the EDC! YAY!

The consultant is getting me a new MC (apparently there are some known issues with the current batch). She also says she isn't sure what HO will do about the lid seal or the butterfly. It seems I may have to pay for to have those replaced, which would be disappointing, but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Can't believe they released (and are still selling) a cookbook with errors! Cheeky!

I'm keen to start trying out some of the recipes you all have suggested, they sound yummy. Hopefully my new seal will come soon and then I can cook things that won't have a taste of butter chicken!! :D Butter chicken hot chocolate is not something that should be introduced as a new flavour!! :D

Hi LouLou, did you get my PM?

No not yet, will check for it now!! :)

Hey all,

I'm another newbie from Country Victoria. I've only had my TM 6 days & I have to say I'm not loving it. I'm devastated as I've been listing after one for over 2years! I'm hoping this forum will inspire me to get maximum use out of it.

I'm a Mum to an almost 11 month old. I'm due to return to work soon, so would love for TM to make meal times tastier, quicker & healthier.

I just feel I've had nothing but 'dramas' since I've had the machine.

Second day of ownership, I made butter chicken (which doesn't taste anything like what I had previously tasted at a demo). The MC has gone completely frosty and my butterfly has changed colour already. Despite washing the bowl several times by hand and then doing the vinegar wash listed in the book, my bowl/lid still smells like butter chicken. My husband is convinced he tasted fennel etc on his hot chocolate drink the other day. :(

I've also tried making the soft bread rolls, which just didn't work out. The chocolate chip cookies were also a bit off (but edible). Also tried the stroganoff and that was just funky. This is despite being quite literate and capable of following a recipe/pushing appropriate buttons. I just rang head office who giggled at me & suggested I don't know how to read a recipe. She suggested I call my consultant for another demo of how to push the buttons.

I'm feeling really disheartened and a bit of a tool that these recipes don't seem to working for me. I'm usually pretty alright cooking/baking. Why is this amazing machine being my enemy?

Like I said, I'm really hoping this forum will turn things around for me because right now I'm tempted to eBay it. I'm devastated.

Sorry for the whinge, not a great introduction is it?! :/
