Desserts / Rainbow Jelly Cake
« on: December 19, 2012, 05:39:55 am »
I just converted my favourite rainbow jelly cake to thermomix...and here it is :)




6 x packets jelly in rainbow colours
6 x teaspoons gelatine
1500 g water
1 tube condensed milk
1 jelly mould, sprayed with olive oil spray then wiped so just a little residue remains.

1. Place 250g water into thermomix bowl, set 2:30/50 deg/speed 2. Pour in 1 tsp gelatine through hole in lid (try to get it to the side so it doesn't end up on top of the blades).

2. Check that the gelatine is dissolved, then put in purple jelly and set to 5:30/50 deg/speed 2. Again, check that it's all dissolved.

3. Pour 3/4 cup of the mixture into the jelly mould and set in the fridge until it is almost set (should be slightly tacky when you touch it - around 30 min).

4.  Place remaining mixture in a small container (I use a drinking glass) and stir in a dessert spoon if condensed milk.

5.  Carefully pour the creamy layer over the first layer and put in fridge to set.

6. Repeat with the blue, green, yellow, orange and red layers. It will take less time to set with each layer.

7. Leave to set overnight and when you are ready to serve, dip the mould into a sink of hot water for around 20 sec then invert onto a plate, it will take a little bit but the jelly should come out. If nothing happens, dip it in the water for a little longer.

All In One Meals using the Varoma / Lemon coriander chicken
« on: December 08, 2012, 07:31:00 am »
My first meal that I "winged" and it was delicious!  Thought I would share the recipe, it's very tasty and fits into clean eating as well :)

500g chicken (I used tenderloins)
1 lemon
I bunch coriander
Clove garlic
Small piece ginger (around 3 cm or to taste)
Pinch salt (optional)
Good grind of pepper

Put chicken in varoma, add 500g water, set to 20 min/varoma/speed 4.  Peel lemon.
When that is done, empty out water and add a small piece of lemon zest, garlic and ginger and whizz on 8 for 5-10 seconds. Add the peeled lemon (halved) and the coriander with an mc of water.
Place varoma back on top and set to 5 min/varoma/speed 4.

When that's done, put chicken on a plate with some salad of your choice and pour over the sauce. Quick, easy and so tasty! 

I'm more than happy for any suggestions, it's my first ever thermomox recipe and it was done completely based on what I had available and after our Christmas party so I definitely didn't put much thought into it :)

Condiments and Sauces / Plum Sauce
« on: December 08, 2012, 12:33:36 am »
Hi all, I've been searching the forum and googling madly to try and find a thermomix recipe for plum sauce - the type my grandmother used to make - to no avail. Does anyone know of one?  Or  is it difficult to convert a regular recipe to thermomix? I'm new to thermomixing and would really appreciate some help :)

Tips and Tricks / Recipe organisation?
« on: December 03, 2012, 08:37:54 pm »
Hi all,

I'm feeling the need to start keeping my recipes organised and easily accessible these days with all my Heidi cooking :) and I just thought I'd see if there are any fabulous ideas on how to effectively do it?

Thanks x

Bread / Grains
« on: November 26, 2012, 02:06:09 am »
Hi all, I'm a totally new thermie owner and I want to use Heidi (yep, I'm a tragic kitchen appliance-namer.  I also name my cars) to make bread.

My hubby and I like white multigrain bread, I'm guessing I can make a regular white loaf and then mix in some grains, but I'm not sure what kinds to get...I like the supermarket multigrain style - not too seedy. Any tips for me?

Introduce Yourself / Hi!
« on: November 25, 2012, 10:55:10 pm »
Hi everyone!

I just thought I'd pop in an introduce myself before I dive into the recipes :)

My name is Ainsley and I live in southern NSW with my hubby and our 12-month-old son.  I work two days a week teaching at our local high school and got my thermomix (Heidi) on Saturday...so excited!!

So far I have made some pureed fruit for baby bear's brekkie and yoghurt (he likes fruit mixed into the greek yog I make in the easiyo), vege stock, porridge, pasta (fail, too much stock concentrate made it salty as heck!), chocolate custard (also a fail, not sure why yet...it went really thick and tasted floury) and then today I made some fruit icypoles.

I am very interested in quick, easy meals that are healthy, will appeal to all of us and are egg-free, due to baby bear's allergy/intolerence.

I look forward to getting to know everyone :)
