I didn’t bother gratinating it in the oven as I was only making it for myself, with the remainder going in the freezer. What I did was to make some cheese on toast under the grill, trimmed it and just plonked it in the soup. I found that it didn’t need any salt when using Bron’s stock and it had a lovely sweetish flavour. A very delicate soup.] Origin: This is a translation of a recipe in Thermomix TM31 – Imprescindible para tu cocina which is the book supplied with Spanish TMXs.

Has anyone seen this short video on You Tube? It a special promotion until the 25 Jun which includes a green travel bag, some utensils, an apron, and a copy of Travelling with your Thermomix. I actually quite like the colour of the bag and apron, but there are no details apart from what you see on their [urlhttp://thermomix.vorwerk.com/es/home/]website [/url] and it is pointless sending them an enquiry as they do not send anything out of Spain. Does anyone know if this is available in other countries, who will post abroad? JB
