Recipe Requests / Boiled Orange Cake
« on: November 16, 2011, 03:49:25 am »
I read a post about a boiled orange cake but can't find the recipe.  Does anybody know it?  I never thought I would go back to cooking cakes again but my thermomix has me sooooo enthused!  Plus  I have oranges to use!   :P :-))

Hi  ;D
Just joined weight watchers online (again  :o) and was wondering if anybody else was doing the new points plus programme and had good thermomix recipes?  We all know the thermomix is wonderful for healthy cooking!

Chit Chat / Cyndi's Bread
« on: August 20, 2011, 03:50:18 am »
Hi,
went to see Cyndi O'Meara in Devonport this week and was inspired!  Bought "Changing Habits, Changing Lives" and have made "Cyndi's bread" this morning.  I follwed the recipe but it seemed to watery and I had to double the amount of flour.  It has turned out beautifully I think but I was wondering if anybody had any ideas?

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Cleaning burnt sugar off the base of the Jug
« on: July 04, 2011, 12:42:30 pm »
I had a recipe fail tonight.  Got sidetracked in the middle of making the sauce for the sweet and sour pork and put the sugar etc in and cooked it (stopped before the whole 30 min thank goodness) and now I have burnt sugar caked onto the base of my jug.  How the hell do you get it off short off scraping it and cleaning it for hours on end?  Does anybody have any ideas?  I have boiled it with vinegar in it and then salt but so far no good.  I read somewhere that cola will eat it away from stainless steal but I was worried about that.  Help please  :'(

Bread / Yeast
« on: June 16, 2011, 01:34:40 am »
I am a little confused.  I have bought a packet of dry yeast and have been measuring 20 gm of that into my bread.  I found that I had sachets of yeast and so I put one in instead and it didn't weigh anything really, 2 weighed about 5 gm.  So, the bread I made using 20 gm of dry yeast was fine and then the bread I made using 2 sachets or yeast was fine too.  Should I really only be using 1 sachet? and then the dried yeast I already have how to I measure that?  Is it 1 teaspoon in a sachet?  All my bread has been good but I don't want to be using more yeast than is necessary  :-))

Introduce Yourself / New to Theremomix
« on: June 11, 2011, 12:13:06 am »
Hi,

Just got my Theremomix and was so keen.  Made risotto which was great but then made the easy chocolate cake and it was flat as.  Tasted nice and fudgy but don't think that was the idea.  Can anybody help me with what I did wrong?  I am also after a recipe for a wheat free bread?
