Chit Chat / Re: CP63's Favourite Recipes (so far...)
« on: May 09, 2012, 01:40:55 am »
Hi CP63 - On behalf of my family I want to "Thank you" for a fantastic list. I printed your list out and put it in my thermie file. If I can't decide what to have for dinner I refer to your list and make from there. Last night we tried Jo's Chicken and cashew - OMG the YUM's kept coming inbetween mouthfuls. Yesterday I also made bubble and squeak with leftovers from corned beef and vegies. I also included the corned beef - after school snacks YUM! Last week I made the Moroccan Lamb & weetbix slice.
Can't wait for your next list!  :D

Good morning ladies - can anyone tell me what size tin to use? It must be small to fit in the varoma. Cheers :-\

Vegetarian / Re: Cyndi O'Meara's vegetarian sausage rolls
« on: February 12, 2012, 10:13:55 am »
I have made these several times now and everyone is convinced they have meat in them. They are devine! I took advice from comments of the forum and left the mixture in the fridge for about 1/2 hr. They have come out perfect everytime. The herbs used are parsley, rosemary, thyme & black pepper. Today I also added 1 carrot, 1/2 green capsicum & 1/2 red capsicum + 1 pinch chilli flakes.  :P

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / For Foods Sake - Steamed Salmon with Mango Pineapple Salsa page 108
« on: February 11, 2012, 12:58:09 am »
YAY I am soo excited - I love Tenina's new book, which I got a Collins Gateways Success on Thursday. I can't wait to work my way through the whole book. Thursday night I made the Steamed Salmon. We normally have baked salmon/pesto crust and this was a fantastic way to try something different. The whole family loved it including 2 x DD (15yr & 12yr). DD (15yr) doesn't really like pineapple & mango and still loved it.

Going by the photo I diced the pineapple and mango quite big. I would recommend dicing it smaller. Next time I will put it in the TMX with the capsicums etc. Also the quantity was enormous and we had plenty left over.
I also didn't have time to make the citrus olive salt (never checked the cooking time before deciding on the recipe) so I just added salt and a small amount of rind of a lime & orange.

I cooked 5 average pieces of salmon. The suggested cooking time of 4-5 min/varoma/speed 4 was well undercooked for my DD's and next time I will cook for at least another 5 mins.

With the leftovers, last night we made Tenina's Dinner Spinner pizza with a few changes. I used chicken instead of speck. Hand cut red onion & red capsicum and didn't precook. Baked on the pizza stone in the BBQ. When cooked topped with the leftover Mango & Pineapple Salsa (that was put back in the TMX to chop smaller) - YUM YUM YUM!

Bread / Re: MY "VERY NORMAL" BREAD
« on: January 05, 2012, 05:41:00 am »
I only found this recipe a few weeks ago and I have never made soo much bread. This would have to be the best recipe I have found so far for bread. I have made it as rolls and loaf and is has been excellent every time. I have been doing a combination of both wholemeal and bakers flour. I also add all the seeds when  :: rather than roll at the end. When I bake as a loaf, I cook for 25 mins on 200. Thanks for a great recipe. :)

I love the dinner spinner book. So far I have made the Umami Paste (Sea flakes from Health food shop at Melville shopping Centre), Slow Cooked Pork Chilli (I used 1 fresh chilli, children loved it but washed it down with water), Almond Chicken Curry with Yoghurt - children raved but still a bit spicy, Speck & Salad Pizza. The whole family + visiting childen have LOVED every recipe. Can't recommend enough!  :)

Introduce Yourself / Loving TMX in Perth
« on: August 03, 2011, 06:09:49 am »
Hi All - I am new to the forum and had my TMX since April. It seemed that we were they only household that didn't have one but weren't sure. Hubby & I researched for six months and were seeing more of the positives. Then Surprise - Happy Birthday the family presented me with one for my birthday. I had never been to a demo or seen one in action. I have to say I/we haven't looked back. The WHOLE family loves it. Even my hubby who is a non-cook. I convert a lot of my own recipes and use it every day. I am forever searching for new recipes. We stick to a very low carb diet so recipe finding is a bit more difficult. I haven't used the varoma a lot but am getting used to it, although I have perfected veal involtini! I am a creature of habit and still prefer to revert back to the stovetop or microwave for some things. I have some really good successes and some disasters. I am determined to get the bread right and muffins. I don't know if you will ever convert me with muffins. This forum is a fantastic resource & I have learnt so much from it. Cheers  :D
