Thanks faffa!  I don't have any coconut oil on hand but bananas I have in abundance.   Yum, might make this this afternoon!

Thanks JudyDawn!

I have some rockmelon (cantalope) and was thinking of trying that with banana as well.  If it's a success I will report back.

Thanks Thermomixer!  That's a great description 

Hey Zan, so glad it worked for you!  Thanks for letting me know!

Spinach and Feta Dip:

Ingredients:

Made this afternoon as a quick (mostly!) healthy snack with some crudites.

1 clove garlic

1/2 small brown onion

Olive oil or butter for cooking above

130g baby spinach (could use English spinach)

230g creamy feta (I used Danish)

2 heaping T sour cream (I used light)


Preparation:

Chop onion and garlic sp 7 for 5 sec.

Saute onion and garlic until aromatic (100C for 2 min, sp 1). 

Wash spinach and spin dry and cook 100C 2 min sp3. Add feta (cubed) and sour cream, increase to speed 5 for 30-45 seconds.   

Serve with pita bread, grilled flat bread or cut up vegies!

Sorry no photos as battery in the camera is charging!

Tips/Hints:
I don't like a strong garlic or onion flavour but you could def add more as most of the flavour from this came from the feta.   Drain the spinach as much as possible or the end result will be watery.

I hope this works for others!  My first attempt at converting a recipe in the TM!

Hiya,

I'm new to the forum so apologise if I'm posting in the wrong section!

My TMX was delivered less than a month ago and already I can't imagine how I did without it!  Lots to say (all positive!) but made DH eggs benedict with smoked salmon today which was the first time I've ever attempted a hollandaise sauce-and the TMX was even easy to clean afterwards.  Fantastic.  My notoriously picky toddler has eaten every. single. thing that I've made in it.  Solid gold as far as I'm concerned!!

Anyhoo, that's just a lead in to my first post-which is really to ask about demos. I've had two-delivery demo and my first demo which was when I decided to buy my TMX.  I have two friends who are seriously considering it and was thinking of having a Varoma demo in the future.  I've read a thread expressing concern that the Varoma demo may not show off the machine http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?action=printpage;topic=3944.0

I guess my questions are:

1.  For those who have had a Varoma demo, how did you feel it compared to the standard demo?  Consultants please feel free to chime in-my consultant is very keen for me to have the Varoma demo and I am too from my point of view but just wondered how newbie friendly it is??

2.  How often do the menus change for demos?  The two that I had were a year apart but the menu was the same-I think some of the girls will go for it but I don't want to invite them if it's just going to be the same thing, and I'd rather the newbies see the basics of the machine rather than it looking like a fancy steamer (when we all know it's a lot more than that!!).

Thanks for making it this far if you have!!

Ooh good one.  I'm just starting out too so great to read through other people's tips and tricks!
