Jams and Chutneys / Re: Mango chutney
« on: November 07, 2011, 12:47:11 am »
Is it ok to use ripe mangoes or do they need to be unripe to succeed?
I have lots of ripe mangoes and would like to try this recipe.

Jams and Chutneys / Re: Capsicum Jam........twistiebrinkley's recipe.

This is a great Jam.
I have been making it for years even before TMX (but it is sooo much easier with TMX)
It is really nice with creamed cheese (or any soft cheese) on crackers.
Also nice on sandwiches and with roast meat both hot and cold.
I highly recommend it!

I have been cooking dairy free for a year now. I also suggest you check Quirky Jo's website.
I have substituted Soy and Rice and Cashew milk and cream in a wide range of recipes with success.
You can also use coconut milk in some recipes i.e. custards.
I substitute soy yogurt for cream in recipes such as curries and naan bread.
Instead of butter Nuttelex is a great dairy free substitute and works in all recipes.

Thermomix makes dairy free cooking really simple and you can usually find a substitute for most recipes.
Cheese is the most difficult to replace but Quirky Jo even has a recipe for a pizza like "cheese" which works very well.

We have a family member with an allergy to dairy proteins who becomes really ill if he eats any at all so we cook every thing from scratch. He is 14 and is now a good TMX chef!

Enjoy your cooking.

I have had a great morning cooking with Bimby this morning.
I have made: Pot if Crio Bru to keep me going!; Pastry for bacon and egg pie; Lamb Kebabs from UK web site; Carrot cake from Travelling With Thermomix; Variation of Power balls; Hommous; Mayonnaise and Coconut custard. Whew! All dairy free and fresh ready for school lunch boxes and after school snacks for the next few days.
Might take my Crio Bru and sit in the sunshine.

Yum! Just made the meatballs and served them with sweet and sour sauce from the Full Steam Ahead Book.  I steamed veggies while cooking the rice and just added coriander to the meat balls instead of Oregano to give an Asian taste!
Great meatball recipe thank you.

The Andrew Fielke classes sound great thanks for the info. 
There is a problem though you can't book today as they have a public holiday in Western Australia.
 Will have to try on Monday!

My News letter had all states included (I am in Adelaide also).
I agree it would be good to have some more advanced classes in South Australia maybe Asian or "In The Mix" recipes just to increase our skills. They would be well worth paying for. I have a really great consultant who is a great presenter and will answer any question I have but sometimes a small group class is a great way to learn new and advanced skills.

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Re: "In the Mix: Great Thermomix Recipes"
« on: October 18, 2011, 06:50:07 am »
I have had this book for a few days now.  It is beautifully presented and full of interesting recipes.  I really like how the book is set out with highly imaginative and challenging recipes.  The recipes are easy to follow and clear.  The really clever part is that the recipes are in two or three parts which can be combined to create a restaurant type dish or made individually and enjoyed by the family.  Some of the sauces will be delicious on simply steamed fish or veggies. Cant wait to try the truffles!  I have had my TMX for about a year and have a son with a dairy allergy so use my TMX all the time.  I am looking forward to using these interesting recipes to take our food on a new culinary direction.  I think Dani has done an amazing job of giving us a great recipe book which is a little different and will provide kitchen inspiration for those of us who had TMX for a little while. THANK YOU Dani and well done!

JD Did you manage to get this cookbook?  I am interested in tracking one down. They sound interesting.

This recipe is great!  It is really good in a glass of cold milk with a spoon.  It is also really nice sprinkled on icecream.  It is also great in smoothies. Very versatile. THANKYOU

Wonder - I would also recommend the cover with integrated light. It is very compact and protects the Kindle very well. The light is integrated and takes no space at all and doesn't draw too much power. It makes the Kindle useful in all light situations and well protected to be dropped into all kinds of bags.  It is ready to be used in almost any situation!
