Are the prawns cooked or green Cate?

Sorry Judy!! I have amended the recipe - best to use raw king or similar prawns.  :)

Marilyn - Thanks for this recipe CateA.  I made it tonight, with white wine.  It was very nice.  Needed quite a lot of salt and pepper at the end, I thought, but I admit that we are too addicted to salt.

JD - We are not the greatest lovers of risotto in this house but DH was very impressed and I absolutely loved it. Followed the recipe to a T except I did 1/2 the recipe - ample for 2 people and unlike CC, I only needed to add pepper and no salt.

Hi There,

My thermomix was delivered a week and a half ago and so far I am very impressed!! I have already done 2 sorbets, a dip, salad, lasagne, risotto, chicken liver pate, batch of vege stock, numerous salad dressings and a pannetonne, which have all turned out fabulously!! I got the TM because I am time poor due to my partner and I having very demanding jobs but outside of my work, cooking is my number 1 passion.  It used to get me down that I couldn't make more from scratch and was getting frustrated at coming home from work and having to spend all night in the kitchen but the TM has certainly changed that.

I am a huge foodie, so my goal for the year is to creat a cookbook for the TM from recipes of my own, many of which I hope to post on this forum (time permitting, I will do my best!)

So just wanted to say 'hello' and I look forward to sharing with you all!

Cate
