News about Thermomix / Re: Nice surprise from Head Office

OH golly, what a spin this thread has taken since I was in last!

I'm also one of the lucky ones, and of course, expect to pay my way.


I am much the same Judy, don't like the conflict, and when something 'comes my way', I often take it at face value  :D

Thankyou again, I'm very excited!

We've been documenting stolen items from my car :( Someone broke in last night, and stole lots of different things! They went all around town, so annoying!

Thanks guys, just the info I'm fishing for!  ;D


Thanks for the heads up on ilve, I've read in a few other places similar stories, it seems quite hard to find a decent 900mm unit!

We have the bosch sm...068 dishwasher, only purchased a few months ago, I searched high and low, and kept coming back to it, the cutlery draw is sooo good! Makes stacking it so much quicker!

They only had one miele inbuilt oven there, and it seemed to lack quite a few features of others (ie smeg), so had steered away a little.

Keep it coming! :)

Special Diets / Cheese Sauce - Vegan, wheat, soy free, failsafe, the BEST.

I've popped Aileen's 'Golden Sauce' up on my blog, with her permission. This has been a wonderful sauce, that has opened up many options in our restricted diet.

Think, nice alfredo sauce :)

Ingredients:
 400grams White Potato - peeled
 80grams Carrot (Moderate Salicylates)
 1 Bunch of Spring Onions - white parts
 100grams Raw Cashews
 500grams Water
 20grams of 'Lemon Juice' - http://failsafefoodie.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/substitute.html
 60grams Celery
 2-3 teaspoons of Salt (this gives it the real cheesy kick, adjust to desired amount)

Place all ingredients in to Thermomix.

 Cook for 20 minutes, 100 degrees, on speed 2, reverse.

 Pulverise on speed 9 for 60 seconds.
 Adjust consistency to taste by adding more water or salt if necessary.


Use as a pasta sauce, dip, to make nachos, to make cheesy/chicken pies, on pizza. It tastes great on everything!

I'm taking out all our appliances and starting again!

New oven, cooktop, fridge and range hood.

Thinking a freestanding 900ml oven.

Please give me any advice or recommendations on any if the above :)

Special Diets / Biscuits - DF,WF,GF,SF and Failasafe.
« on: June 15, 2012, 04:05:24 am »
Failsafe, GlutenF, DairyF, SyF, WheatF biscuits - my favorite to date

 120gms Nuttelex
 200gms brown sugar (I have used rapadura in these, which is very similar to brown sugar, but with sals)
 2 eggs
 Vanilla if permitted
 Beat together nuttelex and sugar for 30 seconds, speed 3; continue mixing, adding 1 egg at a time until mixed thoroughly.

 Add 240gms Chickpea Flour ('Magic bean' flour from bio med store)
 1/2 ts salt
 1/2 ts bi carb
 1/2 ts baking powder
 (I added 1/2 ts xanthum, so they would hold together better, but will try without next time, see if I get a flatter bickie)
 Beat on speed 3 until smooth (around a minute)

 place tablespoons on baking paper for 10-15 minutes until browned on top.

 I also added some cocoa to a little of the mix for choc bickies, they turned out like little fudge cakes! Were absolutely beautiful, and could be served to everyone.
 The regular biscuits are my favorite GF one to date. They don't taste of chickpeas at all, just a plain 'ol normal bickie!

I didn't understand when I first started reading, what was happening, but now I do.

What a shame, I know HO have some pretty big ideas on what their brand is, but I have to say, Tenina is probably the only Aussie out there with TMX recipes that are accessible.

I'm sorry, but having to purchase multiple cookbooks for an appliance is terrible, I've spent hundreds more on cook books, and I'm bitterly dissapointed in most of them. I find the tried and tested recipes on this forum are the ones I turn to everyday.

I can't believe a company would ask it's workers to 'unlike'' you Tenina, what a sad state of affairs :(

Not sure what I did wrong the first time I made it, but I found it a bit 'meh'...

Made it tonight for my lasagne, as I'd forgotten to pick up some cheese sauce satchels (I know, I know!!!), sooo much better then the packet one HAHA

edit - I did it maddys way, I think that is it, I can always taste flour, so the cornflour did the job, it was supurb!

I don't understand the pizza maker idea over oven, I always seem to get really good results with the oven, but it takes I'd say 20-25 minutes to cook a pizza, how long do the pizza ovens take on a large pizza?  ;D

I don't understand how they thought they would be able to just 'buy them', obviously no forethought went in to that promotion.
