faffa I am loving your orange juice method. We are making it a lot atm with 2 oranges watermelon and pineapple, and making icypoles from it too. It seems so easy now that I am doing it, but I never really enjoyed my earlier attempts so I was glad to see this post.

thanks faffa. I suspected I may need a double batch of the pastry. I used bought pastry yesterday as I did not have time to experiment but will try the rough puff pastry one day and see how much I can get out of it. I am going to Cyndi's class soon so I may just ask her if there is an opportunity.
they were great. I added a little bit extra oats so it was not so runny

ok thanks for your replies.
I may have wrongly assumed that Cyndi was refferring to the 'rough puff pastry' in the EDC book.
But she did not say how many quantities of that I needed and I was not sure that 1 quantity would equal 3 sheets. It sounded like some people had made it with the EDC pastry, so wanted to know how much pastry to make.
anyway I will just buy pastry this time, I need it for a party tonight.
thankyou

hi there - can anyone pls help with the pastry for these sausage rolls
I am a bit confused about using the rough puff pastry for cyndi's sausage rolls. The EDC book implies that the rough puff pastry recipe only makes 1 sheet, but Cyndi's sausage roll recipe says you need 3 sheets of pastry.
Can someone just confirm that 1 batch of the rough puff pastry will be enough for the sausage rolls ie do I just divide it into three and roll it out to a store bought size (or do I need 3 quantities?)
I did try once a long time ago but I used the recipe for puff pastry from the Indian book (as I did not have any lard) and I struggled to get even 2 sheets out of it.
Also can I just use all butter in the rough puff pastry recipe rather than butter and lard?
thanks heaps
Ruth

Hi there
I was just wondering whether anyone else has tried ziplist? its a recipe manager / shopping list internet based application. It syncs with your iphone and is free (for now anyway). I have found it a useful way to keep track of all my internet based recipes and to do my shopping lists. It doesn't have a meal planner yet but apparently thats coming.
anyway the point of my post is not to sound like a sales person for it but to say that I am starting to add in some of the ingredient lists from the thermo books (not the recipes just the ingredients, I hope thats allowed?) and I have made them publicly available. So if you use ziplist already you can just search on 'thermomix' in the recipe search (as I type that 'thermomix' in at the end of each recipe title) and hopefully you can see them. I have only done a few but will be doing more as time goes on.
cheers

Thankyou Tebasile. I am very grateful for those recipes, it will save me some $$ (and guilt re the packaging!).

I would think it would be great on your blog Jo. Great idea about the freezing. I am so not creative, hence why I come here ;-)
I never watched masterchef (yes perhaps the only person in the world not to see an episode) but I will check out the icecream. The raw book has a chocolate avocado desert but I have not tried it yet.

I am after an oat milk recipe - if anyone has one can they pls let me know? I may try and convert Quirky Jo's fantastic rice and cashew milk recipe but not sure of the quantity of oats to use. I can experiment but just wondering if anyone else has a recipe before I try.
thanks very much

I am so glad you liked it judydawn, and others too. I loved your pic, looked much better than mine, and a lot lighter too but maybe thats just the flash. I will see if there is anything else good in the book.

Hi judydawn
sorry about that. Its definitely half a cup. My sons first bday today so only just saw your message.
I weighed them as I was putting them into the thermomix, ie after they were pitted and soaked. However that still sounds a lot more than your weight so sorry if its wrong, I will check again next time. it was a waste of time probably putting a weight on it in this case, I was just trying to do the proper thing but in this case has made it more confusing. I think I will just change it to half a cup as the soaking needs to be done in advance anyway.
It will be interesting to see what you think. I also mixed in some finely diced strawberries at the end, just by hand with the spatula before serving. It makes it a bit more "adult" ;-0

I have been making this as desert lately for my kids as we are trying to reduce wheat and dairy a little (my husband and i have been eating the rest too!). Its meant to be a yoghurt type treat.
Adapted from: Baby Greens (Lynn/Chrisemer)
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups (220g) fresh strawberries (or frozen, thawed)
1 cup (120g) avocado ie one medium avo
1/2 cup dates pitted and soaked in 1/2 cup water for 6-8 hours (keep soak water)
Blend all ingredients - adding extra water, soak water or nut milk to thin. I used sp 5 for 30-50 secs and didn't add any extra liquid.
You can mix through some finely diced strawberry at the end. I just did it by hand with the spatula before serving it up.
My 3yo thought it was chocolate ;-)

thanks Thermomixer, but amazingly they tasted heaps better the next day so the disaster was averted. There is only a couple left so I will be making another batch this weekend, and then it may be time to try something new (or maybe not ...).

sounds fantastic. It would save me having to boot up my computer when I just need to check a recipe quickly (as I don't print any out).
