Suggestions and Complaints / cyndi o meara zucchini slice disaster
« on: March 09, 2011, 08:39:36 am »
Hi,
i keep having disasters and i have had my thermie for over 6 months now. My latest disaster was the zucchini slice in the thermomix cyndi o meara healthy eating book i recently purchased at a cooking class. The funny thing is - zucchini slice is something i regularly do (not in the tmx ) and it is never failed before. i thought i would try this version as it looked a bit healthier with a few more veggies in it. I followed the recipe to the tee carefully as i have had plenty of things not work. i thought it odd to have oil in what was already a very wet looking recipe but went with the book. It never cooked properly - despite longer cooking time. was wet and sloppy in middle and i have had to throw away as my family were horrified. i am getting a little weary of wasting both time and expensive ingredients on recipes that should be easy and simple ( have had problems with cakes, the veg nut roast, pasta dishes and now this). has anyone tried this recipe with success? what am i doing wrong to keep having disasters? i find the thermomix works best for me with chopped meals and not mixed things like cakes and slices! salads, cada, dips and soups are all great. but cakes and loafs and the like i am not doing well with.
anyway - sorry to whinge - pregnant and hormonal and grumpy at having to throw out food and feeling like i am a crappy cook!
