Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Repair costs and protocol...
« on: February 15, 2014, 09:41:41 am »
My Thermomix is broken and will need repairing. I'm wondering what the average repair cost and timeframe is? I'd be sending it off from Canberra, and I'm fairly certain it will need significant work (happy to be wrong, but my husband thinks some of the bearings have "gone", and he's usually spot on with diagnostics...).

The budget is pretty tight this month, so I'm very keen to get some examples of repair costs...

Recipe Requests / Rhubarb recipes
« on: January 12, 2011, 11:40:46 pm »
Hello,

I've been given a large bunch of rhubarb, red and green coloured, washed and trimmed from my FIL's home garden. I don't want to waste it ... but I've never cooked and barely eaten rhubarb!

Does anybody have a recipe for stewed rhubarb or any other basics? I can find recipes using rhubarb puree but none of them are for absolute rhubarb beginners (eg how big is a bunch, how much sugar per bunch etc).

Thanks in advance,

Kristen

Does anybody have a handy substitute for the eggs in the GF Swiss Carrot cake recipe? Or any recipes handy that will make snacks for my cousin who is GF, DF and can eat no more than 1 egg in a cake?  :-))

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Recipe review - Tuna Empanada, Budget Busters
« on: June 10, 2010, 12:57:17 pm »
OK, only half my family likes tuna to start with, so this may have been overly ambitious, but this was NOT a success for us :( . The pastry was lovely but I think it needed a slightly hotter oven than the stated 160c.

I didn't think the tuna mix was too bad (just VERY strongly tuna and onion flavoured) but my family did. My children all eat tuna mornay reasonably happily, but really disliked this :( . The filling was also a little gluggy in texture - if I were re-doing the recipe, I'd add some celery and other fillers to lighten the flavour a little AND give it a little more crunch.

Recipe Requests / Cindi's cinnamon rolls...
« on: August 29, 2009, 01:49:39 pm »
I have six kids and no dh in the house for the weekend and I'm *desperate* to try these (and win some kitchen brownie points with the kids)!! I have the Changing Habits cookbook, and the Cindi Thermomix cookbook on order ... but I'd really love the recipe for tomorrow morning! ;)

Can somebody please let me know what I need to do to turn the Changing Habits recipe into the Thermomix recipe? Pretty please?
