Chit Chat / Crazing on TM6
« on: January 14, 2022, 05:13:10 am »
Have any of you with TM6’s had crazing on the front of their machines?
I have contacted Perth and they said that this is common.  To get it fixed I have to send it away and looks like the costs will be born by me.  If it’s a manufacturing issue you would think it should be repaired free!!

Cakes / Sticky Pear Cake
« on: May 28, 2021, 12:25:40 pm »
I have been making this pear cake for ages now after finding the recipe on Recipe Community.  It’s beautifully light and can also be made in muffin tins to become individual desserts!  Lovely served with cream or custard!

This is the recipe for the Pear cake I brought today!  You could also make it in muffin pan to serve as indivual desserts as it’s lovely warm!

PEAR GINGER CAKE
 
140g golden syrup
100grams brown sugar
125g butter diced
250g self raising flour
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
310g full cream milk
1 large egg
2 pears (peeled, cored & diced) you can also use tinned pears.  Today I just used 1 very large pear.

Melt butter, golden syrup & sugar on 90c - 5 mins - speed 2

Add dry ingredients, milk & egg.  Mix speed 4 - 4 to 5 secs ( until the dry flour is just combined.  Don’t be tempted to over mix, as this will keep it light & fluffy.)

Fold in pear with spatula

Line tin/tins

Bake 180c for approx 60 mins or until cooked

Cool in tin for 10 mins, then cool on a wire rack until cold.

What do you all think about the TM6?  Is there anyone on here that has one as was told last night it’s been out awhile in Europe!  Can’t wait to hear what you all think.

Jams and Chutneys / Corn Relish
« on: July 31, 2018, 10:44:15 am »
Made a batch of corn relish today for my Mum.  The recipe is from the Recipe Community called Sweet Corn Relish (similar to Masterfoods).  If you make it, then please do remember to waterbath as this is a low acid recipe or place in fridge and use quickly.

Cakes / Almond, Cranberry & Apricot Biscotti
« on: February 02, 2016, 04:22:54 am »
I found this recipe on "mythermonixrecipes.com" where I was attracted by the photo.  I have made several batches and have changed the recipe just slightly.  They are very moorish!

ALMOND,CRANBERRY & APRICOT BISCOTTI

Heat oven to 160C

300g plain flour
1 & a half teaspoons baking powder
100g brown sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Rind of 1 Orange, grated
50g dried cranberries
50g dried apricots ( just need to slice them into 3 pieces)
120g whole almonds

Place sugar into TM & mill 10 secs, speed 8

Add eggs, vanilla & rind.  Mix 3 secs, speed 4

Add flour, baking powder, mix 40 secs, interim speed (bread)

Add dried fruit & almonds - mix for a few secs REVERSE & interim speed (bread)

It will be quite sticky so place onto a floured sheet.  Using floured hands halve the dough and roll into 2 logs.
Flatten each log slightly.

Place both logs onto a tray lined with baking paper & bake 30 mins or until cooked through.  The top should be
Slightly browned.

Set aside to cool completely.

Heat oven to 180C

Using a serrated knife cut into 3mm thin slices & place on to baking trays.  The middle should be slightly soft.

I baked them for 6 mins then turned them, cooked again for 3 minutes - but do keep an eye on them as they burn quickly.

You may already know about this site but just incase I thought I would share this info.

King Arthur Flour is an American company who offer and supply advice.  Today they posted part three of the three part series on Artisan Sourdough Bread which is very good.  Has lots of photo's as well as written advice.  Have a look, it's a great article.

Condiments and Sauces / Coriander / Basil Magic or Green Gunge
« on: February 19, 2015, 11:21:56 pm »
I love to have items in the fridge or cupboard that help make a quick and tasty meal.  I found this recipe by Jan Oldfield in an old book I had called Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.  In the book she describes the paste as a simplified variation of Thai Green Curry Paste, created with what you have hanging around in the fridge at the time.  What makes it great is that it's a way to make fresh coriander last a few weeks, while it's also a combination of other favourite essentials like ginger, garlic, lemon and Thai fish sauce.

She sometimes adds a fresh chilli or two, sometimes they stay out and it's kept simple and zingy.  You can also make it using fresh basil instead of coriander or a mixture of both.  You can also add a few sprigs of Vietnamese mint and or Thai basil.


INGREDIENTS:-

1 bunch coriander or basil
thinly peeled zest and juice of 1 lemon
2-4 cloves garlic
2.5 piece fresh ginger
1 small red chilli (seeds optional)
1 stick of lemongrass, white part only
2-3 tablespoons fish sauce


METHOD:-

Wash coriander or basil to make sure all grit is removed from coriander roots.  Don't bother to shake of the water.
Remove coriander leaves from stems and reserve the leaves.  Chop the roots roughly and place in the TM.
Remove leaves from the basil and discard the stems as they have very little flavour.

Combine lemon zest, garlic, ginger, chilli and lemongrass in the TM with the coriander roots & stems.
Process about 6 secs at speed 6. Scrape down at around 4 secs.  You want a rough chop.

Add leaves, lemon juice and fish sauce and process around 10-12 secs / speed 9 until it's combined well into a paste.

Store in a scewtop jar in the fridge.


JAN'S TIPS

No one flavour should dominate.  Usually you use about equal quantities of juice and fish sauce.  It really depends on how sour and juicy the lemon is, add more or less to taste.

When storing in the fridge you can top the paste with olive oil.  However, it doesn't seem to be essential.


USE

A few teaspoons transform almost any vegetable.  Heaven tossed over chunks of sweet potato or pumpkin, especially when combined with the crunch of lightly steamed snow peas.

Try tossing new potatoes in a mixture of a few tablespoons combined with about 1/2 cup natural yoghurt, sour cream or mayonnaise.

Brushed over fish, chicken, lamb fillet or pork before grilling, frying or roasting, it's an easy and yummy marinade.


Hope you like it!!!!

Condiments and Sauces / Apricot Chilli Glaze/Sauce
« on: February 09, 2014, 11:14:28 am »
I have been making this wonderful sauce since reading about it in Annabel Langbein's Simple Pleasures Book.  I bottle this, keep it in the fridge and have kept it 12 months without it spoiling.  You can also make this using plums.  It's great with fish (cook fish and then pour over a little sauce bring to the boil and serve), pork (place browned pork chops or sliced pork fillet into casserole dish, pour over a good amount of sauce and cook till tender, 180C) with chicken, I preheat oven 180C.  Place 6-8 chicken thighs into an ovenproof dish.  Add 3/4 cup sauce and 1 thinly sliced red capsicum.  Spread in a single layer and bake until golden and cooked through (about 40 mins).

I usually double the recipe and cook it on the stove, but today decided to make it in the TM.

Apricot Chilli Glaze/Sauce

Place into the TM:-
500g fresh apricots - destoned
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1-2 long red chillies or more if you like it hot - chop finely
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
2 teaspoons soy sauce
finely grated zest or 1 lime or lemon
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper

Mix together 5 secs, Speed 6.

Cook on Veroma approx 25/30 minutes, Speed 2.  Till mixture has boiled and sugar is dissolved.
Pour into jars, seal and store in fridge.

Desserts / Mango & Passionfruit Light Cheesecake
« on: October 27, 2013, 11:31:19 pm »
Mango & Passionfruit Light Cheesecake  Serves 8

Made this super easy and very light cheesecake on Saturday to serve yesterday.  It's made with a diet jelly & light philadelphia cheese as my Son-in-Law is a diabetic.  I served it with a salad of mango, strawberries & passionfruit.  It isn't very high, so if you like a high cheesecake then double the recipe. 

1 cup boiling water
1 x 10g low joule jelly  (could only get sachets that weighted 9g so used a little less water) I used mango/passionfruit flavour
2 x 250g tubs light philadelphia cream cheese
1/2 cup passionfruit pulp

1.      Pour boiling water over jelly, stir till dissolved.

2.      Place butterfly into TM.

3.      Pour all ingredients into the TM and stir, speed 4 till blended - this only took a few seconds.

4.      Pour into a lightly greased small springform pan ( I used 18cm), chill until set.

5.      You could decorate this but I just served it with sliced fruit.



Enjoy!!!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, sorry if it's not.

This is featured on page 227 and as my Mum is staying with us at the moment and she loves rice pudding I had to give this a go.
It was very easy and unlike the one in the EDC does not contain eggs.  I served it with some stewed quinces and we all enjoyed it. Will make this again 5/5

Sorry moderators if I have put this in the wrong place.

I have just made this loaf cake.  It's very easy, but one hint to make it easier to melt the 50g of dark chocolate for stage 3 is to grate it first.  Smells good but will update on the taste later.
