Recipe Requests / Re: Lemon Sauce (for Lemon Chicken)
« on: October 29, 2009, 05:05:54 am »
Tried this one for dinner last night, it was very easy to make. I put an extra 1/4 cup of liquid in the sauce to steam veges and chicken on top but found it probably didn't need it, as the sauce was slightly runny. Love the flavours, I'll definetly be making this again  :) :)

Chit Chat / Re: Cyndi's 21 day weight loss diet

From my experience there was good and bad with this diet (isn't there always!). The good: very healthy food, fantastic recipes (heaps easier to make with the TM), it's delicious and you feel brilliant after a week or so. The bad: lots of recipes to cook, even with the TM this takes time and you also have to be organised with all the ingredients, fruit for breakfast wasn't enough for me however the shake was great, also vege sticks and dip between lunch and dinner gets a bit boring and isn't as substantial as I would've liked. I lost just under 4kgs in the 21 days (have stacked it all back on since then, plus more - but that's another story).

Breakfast / Re: Easy Granola.....over night in the oven - with pics

Yum - looks great. I've been looking for something like this, my partner loves granola (as do I) but I don't buy it because of the sugar and additives. Thanks Tebasile  :) :)

That sounds ridiculously healthy and really yummy too  ;D Talk about a guilt free dessert  :) :) I'm definitely giving this a go.

Would it be possible to roll logs of filling roughly and freeze them on silicon paper on a tray to make rolling inside the pastry sheets easier?

Wish I'd have thought of that - I think that'd work beautifully.

Chit Chat / Re: Sorbets - what fruits/flavours have you tried

To purchase lemon is my favourite, I tried once when first brought the TM but was a bit of a flop. Can someone who makes lemon successfully tell me how?


Have you tried heating water, sugar and lemon zest (strips) to get a lemon syrup that you freeze for the ice blocks and then blitzing with fresh pieces of lemon?


No I haven't, but I will now - thanks Thermomixer  :) :)

My fav is - strawberries, soaked in Grand Marnier - absolutely delicious

Recipe Requests / Re: Cindi's cinnamon rolls...
« on: August 31, 2009, 02:42:43 am »
I was looking at this recipe a few weeks ago and thinking that it could be converted for TM quite easily (although that's as far as I got!). Might give it a try on the weekend and will post if I have any success.

Thanks Julie O these look beautiful and your picture looks like it came out of a cook book!  :) I'm with you JD these have been ear-marked for Fathers Day lunch - might even have a go at making tortillas if I'm game.

There's a book called The Low GI Diet which promotes a 12 week action plan - is this the one you're looking for? It can be purchased at:
http://www.jdrf.org.au/shop/products/The-Low-GI-Diet-(NGR).html#

Another fantastic website with a lot of GI information is by Jennie Brand-Miller who is an Australian researcher leading the way in GI research it's:

Best of luck  :) :)

News about Thermomix / Re: Updates to EDC - JUne 2009
« on: August 19, 2009, 01:53:14 am »
That's fantastic - thanks Brazen. I often wonder if it's the recipes or just me!

Does anyone know of anywhere other previous updates to the EDC are posted?

Hi Maggie,
I've only ever seen a summary of what's changed but never had the new recipes issued.  About to email all of what Karen has posted (only in pdf format).
OBTW - Welcome back  ;D

Thanks ILB - I've been a bit of a voyeur on the forum of late, too busy with other things.

You're great at passing on hints, recipes, newsletters etc. thank you. I hope everything's going very successfully, you certainly deserve it with all the hard work you put in.
