Hi, I made this recipie a few days ago and had a couple of problems I am hoping someone might be able to help.
When I added the second lot of ice cubes the tmx started to complain (ie slow and moaned)  I stopped the machine not wanting to burn the motor out (very expensive mistake) and added some water to asist, the water helped a little but I still didn't like what I was hearing from the tmx.  I am wondering if 700g of ice in total is too much?  Also, when I had finished there were still some ice chunks and it didn't have the nice fluffy consistency that the consultant had at the party.  Any ideas?  Thanks, Natalia

Hi, I made these scones yesterday and the dough almost resembled a cake batter rather than a scone dough.  I must have measured the ingredients wrongly.  Is the dough the same consistency to a normal scone dough but just sticky?  Thanks

HI, I made this soup yesterday, along with the suggestions made by amajjika.  YUM YUM .  Thanks, I have never been a fan of minestrone soup but I just love this one.  You can taste the hint of olive oil and galic, thanks for posting this one.

Hi, I tried this soup a couple of days ago.  It was very easy and quick.  Thanks for your recipie.  I added a dollop of sour cream and my children enjoyed it!

Thanks ladies, I am in Australia.  I must confess, I am quite a minimalist (which is why I like the tmx),  so hopefully stacelee, if I follow your approach if using plain flour (which is also significantly cheaper) all will go well.  I think if u had several flours and had to remember which flour to use when it would become to overwhelming.
Has anyone had any trouble with just using plain flour for everything?  Thanks again, Natalia

Hi everyone, I have noticed in the bread section that 3 different flours are used: plain, baker's and bread flour.  I was just wondering what the difference between these flours are?  Could I just substitute plain flour in these recipes or is the type of flour very important in breads and doughs? Thanks, Natalia

Thanks ladies, I have printed these stock recipies off.  I am trying to make my own cookbook with recipies that I will use. 
An update on the ebay cookbooks.  I have been watching a second hand EDC which finished tonight.  It went for $141 plus postage!
Thanks for your offer cookie1.  That would be great.  Just a few basic recipies to get me started would be great.  I don't want to break the copy right laws.
thanks again, Natalia

Hi again everyone, thanks for all of your replies!
It certainly looks like I can get most of the recipies I would like from here, which is so helpful. 
I have seen the everyday cookbook on ebay but it sells around $100-$120 plus postage, ouch!!
I am thinking of having a demo to learn how to use it if they will give me one (since I already own one they may not be too happy about doing a demo as I won't be buying a second one).  I thought I was saving money buying if off the net but by the time I pay for the thermoserver and other bits and pieces it won't be that much cheaper and with no warranty,  :( but I guess you live and learn.
Judydawn, I will keep trying to source the book, if I can get it cheaply.  If not your offer of typing up some basics would be very helpful.
Dede, thanks for your thoughts on robogourmet.  I checked it out and it looks like it is an apple app.  I have an android phone so it doesn't look as though I will be able to use it.  Would you be able to give me the vegetable stock recipie.  I have been using powder and would love to make fresh stock, so much healthier.
Thanks again everyone for your warm welcomes and thoughtful comments I really appreciate it, kind regards, Natalia

Hi everyone, I bought tnx off e-bay just recently (there are a few second hand ones for sale, I don't know why anyone would want to sell one, they look so good!). I am now waiting impatiently for it to arrive.  I am thinking of having a demo just to learn how to use it.  My tnx doesn't come with the everyday cookbook.  I have looked on the tnx site and they don't sell it. Does anyone know where I can buy one from?
We I've on the south coast if NSW, and have 4 children. I am really looking forward to saving time with my tmx and eating more healthily. I especially like the look of the soever's (i am an icecreamaholic)
I am also looking forward to navigate this sight and learning from all of you, thanks, Natalia.
