What are you cooking today?

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

Was that my tart recipe Cookie? Sadly I didn't win the comp, but was very thrilled to make the final with Thermomixer.  Actually my DH bought me a couple of the UK TMX cookbooks for my birthday and they arrived on Friday in the mail.  I noticed (whilst having a sneak peak ) that they have a lemon mascarpone tart in their main cookbook.  I spent a whole weekend of converting and cooking for nothing.  Talk about reinventing the wheel!!!

Today I made porridge, buttermilk scones, carrot and spinach slice and hot chocolate.

Everything I've made has come out tasting great!

[Very Happy Jan]

Today I made the Vanilla Slice, lots of butter,smoothies, olive tapenade,2 lots of icecream and spreadable cheese with pickled onion through it.
Tomorrows jobs are vegetarian sausage rolls, Black Bottom,White Top Cheesecake and some bread rolls. + afternoon tea for the hungry hoards and something for dinner.

Today must have been the day for lots of butter lol  me too, pasta e fagoli for DS3 (he was making it but got chilli in his eye the goose) it is his favourite and he makes it to snack on (how to fill up a teenage boy 101 ) and a white sauce for a change for the steamed veg with tea

Yes Chelsea it was your recipe. It was nice hot but we liked it ever so much more when it was cold. I'm not a citrus person but this is really delicious. I was BAD and put the extra mascarpone on mine!

[JulieO]

Well the temp has just reached 40^oC!  Have just turned the ducting aircon off and put the refrigerated on, ahhhh that's better.  Oh yea, erm... making a zucchini slice (TM recipe) and a salad.

OMG Julie, you poor things.

[faffa_70]

made cheese and basil knot rolls to go with chicken and salad tonight. Also made the Moroccan Carrot Salad from the vegetarian book (which I might add was submitted by our very own esteemed Thermomixer!!) This was also made at our last cooking class 

[Thermomixer]

The carrot salad seems to have been demonstrated in a few cooking classes now - it is so easy and so easy to adapt/change.

I made a salmon (not tuna) style nicoise salad for tea on Sunday ?  Used TMX to cook potatoes and eggs, steam beans and "poach" the salmon and make dressing - it is pretty basic, but if anybody wants me to make up a recipe then i probably could.



Made boned quail stuffed with red-rice, fruit and nut mix and served with lentils with bacon/onions and also the last of my beetroot for now.  No photo - just too tired and unwell when it came to serving - have some left over, so may get pic tonight?

Hope you are feeling better TMXer, even if it was from the Melbourne Cup.

[JulieO]

Thermomixer your salad looks lovely, very nicely arranged. 

[Snoozie]

I agree.  It looks lovely and I would love to see the recipe!

[Thermomixer]

Hope you are feeling better TMXer, even if it was from the Melbourne Cup.

Wish it had been from the races - no just a cold thing that made me sneeze so much that I put my back out !!! and i had so many plans for what i was going to do on my holiday yesterday    Couldn't hardly stand and certainly sitting up in bed was the most excruciating thing !!  So couldn't get near the laptop - oh, woe is me ....... where are the background violins??  

I'll put a recipe together Snoozie

[cookie1]

I made some custard and almond scrolls today. I used the brioche recipe and rolled it out, spread it with custard (from the TMX) and sprinkled flaked almonds over it and a tiny few sultanas and a sprinkle of brown sugar as I put very little sugar in the custard. I rolled it up and cut it into 12, put them on a tray and 15 minutes later Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Oh dear me Cookie, I don't know whether to cry or not as I have been telling the family I can't do it as these are a favourite from a certain shop for my family. They are also a favourite of my hips lol hence my big lie little fib to the family lol
