Chit Chat / Tikka Paste from Fast and Easy Indian
« on: February 03, 2013, 06:21:13 am »
I've just made a litre of tikka paste from the Fast and Easy Indian book. Tikka paneer dor dinner tonight, not sure what I am going to do with the rest of it. Hope it freezes well.

 Another thing I won't be buying anymore - any type of curry paste.

Chit Chat / Basil Loaf (Green Cheese Bread)
« on: February 03, 2013, 04:19:59 am »
I thought you might like to see my bread from today. This is the first time I have ventured away from a 'recipe' and made my own recipe based on the successes and failures I've had since Christmas.  I am very pleased with the look and the taste, and the texture isn't too dense.  Hope you don't mind me sharing.

Chit Chat / My Thermomix Story - What's Yours?
« on: February 01, 2013, 04:45:51 am »
Hi guys
I am now almost 2 months into having my thermomix and have written a post on my blog on my journey leading up to the purchase, and my findings to date.

I am sharing it here in case anyone would like to read and I would also love to know other's thermi stories as well.  Were you like me, and needed time for it to 'sell itself' to you, or were you an instant convert?

PS: I am quite prepared that some people will disagree with my thermomix story :) (I'm OK with that :)

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Chick Pea Salad: Devil of a Cookbook
« on: January 17, 2013, 08:42:20 am »
We had this last night. Managed to convince hubby to take some to work for lunch but the rest went to the chooks :(

We found it just too bland (and we are huge chick pea lovers). I think it needed a good whack of spices, like some harrissa or even stir through some Za'atar, and some finely sliced red onion and coriander leaf - something to give it some punch and flavour.

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / 'Walking' machine?
« on: January 17, 2013, 01:52:50 am »
I've just made the dough for my first batch of rolls.  I was very wary of leaving the machine alone as it 'walked' along the bench with the power of the kneading. I tried putting it on a tray but that was worse. I tried a slip mat but that just bunched up while it 'walked'. Does this happen with everyone else's  Thermies too, or is mine 'special' ?

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / In the EDC, how many people does the average meal recipe feed?
« on: January 13, 2013, 02:46:11 am »
Question from my 15 yo son:

In the EDC cookbook, how many people does a recipe feed?

Good question, I assume it would be 2 or 4, any ideas?

Chit Chat / Did you?
« on: January 04, 2013, 09:11:18 am »
So, -did you make enough food to feed a small Country when you first acquired your Thermi?  I may have to buy another freezer, fridge and canning set....  

Did you?

Recipe Requests / Carrots! (A challenge)
« on: January 02, 2013, 11:12:03 pm »
I have 10 kilo of carrots - obviously will need to make some items that can be frozen :)

Apart from carrot cake, which only uses a few - I'd love  some thermi suggestions for recipes or ideas that will help use up my amazing amount of carrots - can you help?
Go!

New to the forum, popping in to say hi, looking forward to user tips and tricks as well as recipes and getting to know the thermi. I am a writer, teacher and mum as well as part small business owner - and an avid foodie. I am from Perth WA but now live on Brisbane's North Coast. Thanks for having me.
