A FB group suggestion came up on my page to join 'Bellini Addicts' so I thought I would to get some recipes. Had to stop reading as I was smirking too much. Every post was about how to avoid the motor burning out (when making sorbets!!!!!!!), how to fix things or how long to blend things (5 mins for something that takes my TMX 20 secs!).

And the dig at the fact that only people who have a TMX are rich (we are low income, have a HCC and thank goodness for the TMX otherwise we wouldn't be able to afford to eat decent food).

Anyway, I am going to get off the group, but I would recommend anyone deciding which one to buy to go an check it out.........

I have had a TMX coming up 5 years now and have never felt the need for a 2nd bowl.

I live Jaime - I want this book and his 30 min book. A lot of it is for the food processor so I imagine I'll use the tmx a lot with it.

Hi Brumington - I have found there is no need to after the 2nd batch. My kids have given me the compliment that it is 'just like the shop's'

Pauls 1L organic is unhomogonised but I also buy 2L unhomogonised from a local IGA.

I use it as a replacement for milk in baking and to soak flours in recipes or to soak beans etc overnight.

I always modify recipes like this. They generally work out. And when they don't the chooks are happy!

I do that with beef or chicken - 'steam' it in the basket - and pop it in the bowl to cook for the last 5 mins on Rv S1 - perfectly cooked and non-shredded.

Tips and Tricks / Perfect yogurt
« on: November 23, 2013, 12:10:19 pm »
I have discovered that the way to make perfect yogurt is to use unhomogonised milk :)

I follow the EDC instructions except I make 2L at a time - use organic unhomogonised milk and some yogurt from my last batch and that is all. Nothing else added and beautiful and creamy.

The first batch wasn't creamy so I made labneh with it but still used that as a starter and from then on they have been perfect. I still make 500ml-1L or labneh a week b/c I make sweet and savoury and use it instead of fetta and goats cheese (or icing if using sweet) and I use the whey in cooking or to soak beans. It is brilliant stuff.

2L costs me $6 so I am getting cheaper and better quality yogurt.

It is good. Start by adding 1 TB of tahini and go by taste. Some people won't like 3 TB.

My original one is trashed. I spilt water on it and the pages are all stuck together and a lot of recipes are unreadable. But I don't like the new, non bound version so while I need one - I don't want to get it!
