Chit Chat / Help with Main Meals
« on: May 01, 2012, 05:00:11 am »
OK, I feel like I'm probably writing this too early into my TMX'ing but I really need some help with my main meals.
I'm loving the TMX for drinks, ice cream, breads (oh my, the breads!) but I'm finding the main meals I've made a bit 'blah' to tell you the truth. I've made....
Tikka Paste and Butter Chicken (lovely flavours but way too hot - not really a Butter Chicken mildness)
Chicken Strogonoff
Bacon, Tomato and Onion Risotto
Broccoli and Cheese Soup (super yummy!!!!!!!!!)
Ummmm? Can't remember what else...
I'm finding everything way too saucy and a little bit bland - visually and taste wise. Do you think my stock concentrate is a bit bland? Am I being too conservative with it? I read that it's too salty so have reduced the amount specified in recipes but am I reducing it too much? When it asks for three spoons I'm putting in one. I've heard of the miracle that is Teninas Garlic Paste. Do you think I should invest in her cookbook so that I have more recipes to hand?
I'm just so worried I'll lose my enthusiasm if I can't improve my mains.
Sorry in advance if I've offended anyone if any of the above recipes are theirs! I know it's a problem with me and not the recipes cause the reviews don't lie!
