Chit Chat / Pizza Oven Recommendation
« on: July 14, 2010, 12:02:00 pm »
Hi All
I'm thinking of buying a Pizza Oven / Maker - a electrical one that fits on the bench. Any suggestions about what brand to buy or what to look out for.  Are they any good? Any feedback appreciated!

Hi All,

I'm hoping to get a new kitchen and at the moment I'm researching everything!  Any opinions/problems on 2-Pac versus Vinyl Wrap or on Caesar Stone?

Any comments appreciated.

Cakes / SUPER EASY AND FAST CHOCOLATE CAKE
« on: February 15, 2010, 01:32:05 am »
This is a super easy cake (even easier now the Thermomix!).  I make it at least once a week for lunchboxes.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups self raising flour -  210 g
1 1/2 cups sugar - 330 g
3 tablespoons cocoa - 20 g
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk - 180g
180 g warm melted butter


Method

Put oven on 180 degrees.

Melt butter in microwave and put aside.
Blitz 1 1/2 cups sugar in  *: for about 4 seconds on 7.
Add rest of ingredients to  *:  don't forget butter in microwave and  ^^ for around 5 seconds on 6/7 till combined.

Pour into 20 cm tin which has been well greased and floured (I just use a silicone tin with spray oil!).
Bake for 50-55 minutes.

We normally eat it without icing but you could ice with lemon or chocolate iciing.

* Recipe originally from Camberwell Primary School Cookbook


ENJOY
I hope I have posted this correctly!

Thanks in advance!

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / HELP WITH GARLIC RICE RECIPE!
« on: October 02, 2009, 10:49:07 am »
Hi All

I made garlic rice today - used arborio rice (which I now think was the wrong type of rice) since it took forever to cook and I had to add more water! :-\

Which rice should I have used?  Is short grained rice = arborio rice?

Kids still ate the rice but didn't taste very garlicky as I had added more water.

Thanks,

SYLVIA - MELBOURNE :)

Chit Chat / WHICH BREAD RECIPE FOR A FIRST TIMER????
« on: September 29, 2009, 12:00:47 pm »
Hi All

I only have my Thermomix about 12 days!  I have yet to try a bread recipe - which one would you suggest for a beginner?  I have bread tins from when I used to make bread with No Knead products and I'd like to make two loaves at once since the oven is on and I have two tins - is that possible in the machine - or would it overload?

Cheers,  Sylvia - Melbourne :)
