Hi all..
I am so excited to find the forum and learn tips and tricks from all you talented ladies (and gents!).

I had my demo about 6 months ago and found that although impressed with the versatility of the TMX, my partner could not quite justify the cost. Funny that I - (who does all the cooking) could justify the cost !! So I arranged the purchase on my own accord hoping my partner would eventually come around to the idea! And welcome thermie to our household just in time for Christmas!

He was delivered about 3 weeks ago and on the first night I made stock with my consultant. My partner was away on business at the time and came home the next day to see something new in the fridge and decided to take a big spoonful to sample! Needless to say it was a rather salty unpleasant surprise!

Since then... and amidst the chaos of the silly season I have found a tiny bit of spare time to make a few kilos of hommus,(!!) some melon and mint sorbet, beetroot dip, lettuce soup, carrot and coriander soup, countless beetroot salads, steamed salmon with parmesan and mint quinoa, the delicious christmas waldorf salad from the festive flavour book, odette's onion jam and some roast tomato passata with risoni.

My partner has been very impressed with all of the above and even bought me the travel bag, QFITT and FFS recipe books for Christmas - so I guess he is now a convert! YAY!

I am pescetarian - eat only fish (not shellfish or crustaceans) and my partner is a meatlover.
I need to find a balance between the dishes I will love to eat and those that he will enjoy.
If anybody has any great vego or chicken dishes to recommend please send them my way!

And be careful all my newbie friends - I sliced my finger while cleaning the blades from my risoni the other day. They are sooooooo sharp!!

Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year ! I have my vodka and berries on stand by for some holiday sorbet!
