Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Quick Fix in the Thermomix - Marinated Goat's Cheese
« on: November 03, 2012, 08:25:34 am »
I've had the Goat's Cheese setting in the fridge for the past 48 hours and have just rolled it into balls and will marinate it for another day or so before I use it.  It really is more of a goat's yogurt than cheese but I still think it will be delicious.

This recipe is really easy although you do need to be patient.  I used my Easiyo container instead of a thermos and it seemed to work fine.

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Quick Fix in the Thermomix - Turkish Delight Ice Cream
« on: October 30, 2012, 09:07:17 am »
I started making this today and thought I'd provide some feedback even though the ice cream is not yet finalised (it's in the freezer at the moment and needs to stay there for a minimum of 12 hours).  I did try some earlier though (without bothering to put it back into the Thermomix for the final mixing) and it was delicious.

I used Rapadura instead of the raw sugar specified in the recipe.  This has meant that my ice cream is darker in colour than the one featured in Alyce's book.

I do think the recipe omits a step or two....
1. Mill sugar in TMX for 8 sec.
2. Add Turkish Delight, chop for 10 seconds.  Remove one third and set aside.
......
......
6. Remove mixture from freezer.  Cut into pieces and process in TMX for 30 sec. 
7. Continue to process for a further 30 sec while adding reserved Turkish Delight.  Continue processing until mixture resembles ice cream.

If you follow the steps above, the reserved Turkish Delight mixture also contains sugar so you are stirring the milled sugar back into the ice cream in Step 7.  I suspect you are supposed to take the sugar out of the TMX after step 1, chop up the Turkish Delight, put some aside and then add the sugar back into the TMX bowl before proceeding.   Because I didn't remove the sugar after step 1, I decided not to reserve any Turkish Delight.  This means I won't have any visible pieces in my final product but I can live with that  ;D

I'll report back tomorrow after I've completed steps 6 and 7.

Introduce Yourself / Another New Thermie Owner
« on: October 18, 2012, 02:10:14 pm »
Hi everyone, I joined the Thermie Owners Club this week and thought it would be a good idea to join the forum as I've already benefited from some of the great recipes and tips shared here.

Since receiving my new toy on Monday night I've been cooking up a storm:  risotto, bread(s), 60 minute eggs, carrot cake, sorbet, spiced pears, pumpkin soup, curry paste and sous vide steak.  It's all so easy with a Thermomix!

I've purchased two cookbooks so far - For Foods Sake and Quick Fix in the Thermomix.  I'm really loving QFITT in particular - the recipes are simple to make and delicious.

I think the Thermomix may become a new favourite gadget!
