Karen from WA
« on: July 21, 2013, 12:07:03 am »
Hi all, I received my TM as a very unexpected (but welcome) gift about 4 years ago. Having not seen a demo, I used it with trepidation initially! I now use it multiple times every day. My biggest difficulty is myself ... I find it hard to maintain the discipline of sticking to a recipe. Growing up with "if you haven't got it, substitute something else" from my mum and recipes that are really just a list of ingredients from my grandma, and my own "make it up as you go from whatever is on hand", I am now learning to at least write down (most of the time) what I did so I can replicate the result. It also makes sharing the recipe much easier!! Hence our first contribution of the Korma Paste. Miss 8, and masters 7 and 5 are also masters of the TM often cooking up a storm in the kitchen, hence our username of 4cooks!

Yes a very apt user name, welcome to the forum Karen and family. One of the first things I learnt from one of our early members, Bron in Spain, was to substitute ingredients rather than not do a recipe because you were lacking ingredients listed. You're right though, it is important to write down exactly what we do when using the TMX firstly because if it doesn't turn out just right, we know where to adjust quantities or method next time and secondly we can then share our recipe with others.  Thanks for joining us, it's always nice to have seasoned TMX users on board for their thoughts on recipes etc.

Hi Karen it is lovely to have you join us. I look forward to lots more recipes from you. It is fun to share and see how others enjoy your recipes.
A lot of us are from WA. I live SOR  in the city.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
