How many times a day do you run your dishwasher?

2 to 3 times / day would be my normal as I put pans, Thermy , all plates etc.

However with houseful it can be 4 times and I wondered if that was OTT and what everyone else did?

After supper last night had both Thermy bowls in. One from cookies and one from sauce.

I do also wash up stuff either because I need to use it immediately or is not DW proof.

Look forward to your replies.

Name of Recipe: carrot and coriander
Converted/adapted from The Soup Bible edited by Debra Mayhew

Number of People: 4 - 6 depending on main course or starter

Ingredients: 50 g butter
3 leeks (or 2 large leeks) cleaned and cut into 4
450 g carrots or 3 large carrots peeled and cut into 4
3 t ground coriander (15ml)
S & p
I litre good chicken stock ( or whatever stock you like)

Garnish Greek yogurt or natural and chopped fresh coriander



Preparation: put butter in   add carrots first then leeks, chop on 4  even sized. I am not 100% on timings so watched carefully.
Sweat 10 mins 100 speed 2
Add coriander for another minute as above.

Add 1 litre chicken stock. Cook until done speed 2    mine took 17 minutes today. The original recipe had sliced veggies and after sweating suggested cooking 20 mins or until done.

Blitz until smooth. Add either more stock or a bit of milk if too thick. If too thin use less stock next time. ( Personal preference)
Add 2 T Greek yogurt, just mix in.
Taste and adjust seasoning if

Serve in bowls with 1 spoon yogurt in bowl and scatter chopped fresh coriander over top,

If freezing omit yogurt, and add on reheating.

Tips/Hints: if you like bitty soup omit final blending. I wore oven gloves and put my hand over top of MC while blitzing. The quantity reached just below the max marker.
the original recipe suggested 1.2 litre but that is runny. My own preference is for thicker soup so I put less than the litre in. It does also depend on size of leeks and carrots.

Today I used parsley as had no coriander.

Sorry cant remember how to post photos via iPad, it is soup and orange will that do?

Can anyone help?

I can buy from France ( in the supermarket)  jam made with no added sugar, they use concentrated fruit juice. It is brilliant on home made yogurt.

It is soft fruit season and I came one with cherries today bought on the side of the road. Can anyone point me in the direction of low sugar jam or compote ( needs to keep in jars) .

I don't have access to this often mentioned substitute rapadura (?spelling) and won't use chemical sweeteners.

Thanks in advance

Fatless sponge

3 eggs large
3 ozs castor sugar
3 ozs SR flour sifted twice
1&1/2 (1.5) Tblsp boiling water

I use Kenwood. can use electric hand whisk, have NOT tried 
Beat eggs for a minute, add sugar and beat until white and to a ribbon consistency. It takes a while and should leaves trail when you lift the beater.

Remove bowl from machine, gently sift the flour over the mix ( in 2 batches) and fold in carefully using figure of 8 method with a large metal spoon, turn the bowl slightly as you do this. Be gentle but make sure all the flour is incorporated.
Then add the boiling water and fold in.

Put in 1 9iinch greased and lined (base) tin .
Gently bang tin on work top before placing in preheated oven.
Bake medium hot oven until done.

Today s cake was made with 3 very large duck eggs and took 16 minutes @ 190 in Aga.

You know your oven and will soon work out best timings.

Can increase to 4 eggs and put in 2 sandwich tins.

I often use 5 eggs and 2 x 9" tins.

Can substitute cocoa powder for flour. About 20 - 25% depending on how many eggs.

I hope I have explained this well. It's a family favourite and today's cake had 1/4 pint whipped cream, mixed with 2 heaped T Greek yogurt covered with strawberries.

Often it is jam in middle, and sometimes glacé icing on top.
Or chocolate fudge frosting.
Or used as a topping for fruit as less fat than a traditional Victoria sponge.

Happy Baking.

I toook a photo of the breas i just made on my phone.it is now on my iPad in the photo stream.
How do I post the photo in the cooking today thread.

The iPad is not same as a pc. Perhaps I need an app?

All suggestions carefully read.
Thanks so much in advance

Tips/Hints:

Custard sauce
Makes half a pint / 300ml

300 ml milk
2 level T cornflour
25g sugar
1 egg
Few drops vanilla essence or use vanilla sugar.


if Australian tablespoons are larger it may come out too thick. Suggest try and see.

Put milk and cornflour into  
6 mins / 90 / speed 4

Add beaten egg and sugar, and mix til all blended. I think I did speed 4 or 5 for 20 secs but can't remember. It was very good with a rhubarb sponge.
Serve immediately or pour in jug and keep warm.

Anyone can tweak it into   speak for me if I am not quite right. I've made this for 30 yrs but only once in  
Only made this quantity. If doubled, might need longer time haven't tried that yet.

Uni suggests add lemon zest for more flavour. It has good reviews further on.

hillbilly - Thank you so much Droverjess. I searched for custard, came up with your post and it was made and in a bowl in ten minutes! I made it exactly as directed, Australian tablespoons are fine, flavour beautiful. This is my custard recipe forever!!

JD - DJ I made this tonight and because every custard I've made in the TMX all the ingredients go in together, I gaily went ahead and did the same then read the recipe. However, it worked perfectly and makes enough for 2 really good servings. So what I did again, throw everything into the bowl and cook for 6 mins/90o/speed 4 and it's a perfect pouring consistency. Thank you for your recipe.

Uni - I completely misread the method like I always do, all good in the end. Thanks. I did the same when I made it JD. For double recipe I cooked for 8 mins , perfect.

Greyhoundmum - day 2 of owning TMX for me and I have had the lemon custard twice, it is so easy and yum.
