Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / QFITT--Brown rice with olives
« on: January 11, 2015, 04:09:53 am »
Am out of practice with posting, hope this is the right spot to put this and moderators will link later??

Anyhoo, I thought this was an easy, healthy, tasty side dish.  I only used 200g of kalamata olives because I thought 300g would make it too olivey for one of my boys.  He didn't eat it anyway, so next time I will use the whole amount.  Perhaps because I used fewer olives I thought it needed a bit of salt.  I mashed up the olives a bit by forgetting to use reverse for a few seconds, but it didn't matter.  Will cook again.

This is a great recipe.  Quick, easy, delicious and healthy.  Will cook often.

This is the best porridge.  Ever.  Made a third quantity just because it was easier to do the maths than for a quater and was worried that the recipe wouldn't work in a smaller batch, but it totally did, and I ate it all my self.  Delicious.

I made this over Christmas using a 22 cm springform pan.  There was enough base mix and filling for this size. I would like to invest in a smaller size pan because I like the look of the cake in the book, the meringue is "high" which looks attractive.  Following advice from this thread, I used 200g of sugar and I served it with the berry lime coulis which is zingy with lime juice, so not too sweet. It was convenient to have the icecream cake in the freezer ready to serve, and leftovers kept well wrapped in glad wrap. It was really delicious and I will definitely make again, although my cake was spoiled a little by the face that I did not use "Walkers" shortbread for the base.  I had a tin of Christmas biscuits and used those, but they clearly do not have the texture of Walkers and although the base was tasty it was very hard which made the cake difficult to eat.  Will use Walkers as advised in future.  All in all this is a delicious, easy dessert.

Hello forum folk. I thought I would say hello and thank you to all of you who make this forum the wonderful resource it is. I was quite active on the forum for some time but over the last 18 months or so my work and home life have been so busy, I have kind of drifted away. Although still using my thermomix regularly, I have been lacking inspiration and just cooking the same dishes over and over. I usually got my recipes from here or on the web from blogs etc (I'm a very messy cook!) and so I asked dear husband to buy me a thermomix cookbook for Christmas providing links to books by Tenina & Alyce! Well, he must be looking for a shake up in the kitchen too, as he bought me 4! Since Christmas I have been leafing through, drooling over the pictures in said books, with no clue where to start! Ahhh, the forum to the rescue! Thank you, thank you all for your wonderful reviews. I am certainly re inspired! I have made Teninas's Frozen Meringue cake (with reduced sugar as advised be forum peeps--yummy and easy) and Alyce's salmon patties will be next. Funnily enough browsing through the forum I even found reviews I have written about recipes I had forgotten all about, too. Still trying to learn to drive tap a talk so I hope I am posting this in the right spot.

It was good to see some familiar "faces" and also to see that there are plenty of new folk flying the forum flag. Thanks again & Happy New a Year!

There I go again, vego son, notveto son!!! Grrr!

Glad you liked the gnocchi, JD, it is my veto son's favorite. I suggest you try with Farfallina's zucchini sauce. Yum, yum.

43
H!ha I mean I found them fiddly, not diddly! Darn iPad auto-correct!

44
Sorry to hear you had mixed success wi this Tasty. As Julie said, they look Fab. I hope I didn't type the recipe wrong for you :(. I find them diddly, but worth it. If you use leftover risotto, or make the risotto the day before, I find it not so daunting.
