Title: Hi from Hobart
Post by: desi on February 14, 2012, 10:51:59 pm
Hello everyone :)

I had my thermo for more than two years and I must say, together with the wonderful recipes and help I get from
all of you nice people in the forum, cooking for my family has been even more enjoyable than ever before.

Hi and welcome Desi, it's great to see you have come out of hiding lol. Often people are out there that have been a member of the forum for a while but we don't hear from, but not very often have they owned their TM for as long as you.
Any way welcome from another Tasmanian (northern)

Welcome, Desi.  It is so nice that you have decided to come out of lurkdom.  Have you voted in the where you live poll? Keep up the Tasmanian presence on the forum.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.
The truth is that I'm not familiar with using the forum and I have been hesitant to have an input to it.
I have been using my thermo for everything that can be used especially Greek recipes. I will try to convert some recipes from my Greek thermo book and hopefully they will be good enough to post.

Achookwoman, yes we are fortunate to live here.

Kalosilthes Desi from another Greek-Australian

I also have Greek book but have to say I haven't gotten around the using it. Which one do you have a small A5 size or the newer A4 one? Which recipes do you like to make?

What recipes are the rest of you looking for? Anything in particular?

Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm very glad you are no longer a 'lurker' and very much looking forward to your Greek recipes also.

Post by: desi on April 24, 2012, 05:16:09 am
Hi Tasty, kalos sas vrika. Thank you for your message.

I cook mainly Greek meals and the books I have I bought them in Greece a year ago. They are:
Η Κουζίνα Μου Με Το Thermomix and Γεύσεις Στον Ατμό. They are both A4 size.
Like everyone in this Forum I love my TM and use it everyday and not always use cook books.

I would like to post some recipes, but at the moment we are renovating our house and putting a new
kitchen (exciting). I will try to translate some soon.  :)

Nice to be here. Everyone is so friendly.

I'll try and keep my promise to post some Greek recipes :)

Hi Desi, how'd your daughter enjoying her TM ?
Title: Re: Hi from Hobart
Post by: desi on April 24, 2012, 02:32:34 pm
Hi dede,

Our daughter loves her thermomix and uses it everyday. She appreciates the time that saves her especially during the week when she prepares a meal after work.

Dede is your foot better now? I hope so.  :)

Post by: dede on April 24, 2012, 02:44:32 pm
That's great Desi, yes my foot is getting better each day. Will be another few weeks before its back to full strength. But I'm not using crutches at all now which is just wonderful :)
Title: Re: Hi from Hobart

I was looking for a Tzatziki recipe on here yesterday and couldn't find one - admittedly didn't have much time to do a thorough search, kids wanted lunch NOW and wanted tzatziki for their wraps. In the end I just kind of made it up and it was yummy - something I never used to do before I had a TMX.
So.... tzatziki recipe please? Something nice and easy to get you started  ;D
Title: Re: Hi from Hobart
Post by: judydawn on April 26, 2012, 04:08:01 am
Deedub, have a look in your Everyday Cookbook - there is a recipe for tzatziki dip in there.
Title: Re: Hi from Hobart
Post by: desi on April 26, 2012, 07:17:18 am
Hi Deedub

Tzatziki is one of those dips that people make according to the way they like it. The only think I would add in the EDC recipe will be a tablespoon of olive oil whilst mixing in the other ingredients. Also some people like to use dill instead of mint. Pleased you enjoyed your own recipe :)
Title: Re: Hi from Hobart
Post by: Tasty on April 26, 2012, 01:11:41 pm
Hi Desi.My Greek TMX book is actually different. It's called Mayeriki me to Thermomix. I have only made the tsoureki from there but I plan on making amigdalota soon and one day I would love to make my own tiropitta.

As for everyone else, I have uploaded the greek easter bread recipe but I am assuming you are looking for more everyday recipes. Right?
Title: Re: Hi from Hobart
Post by: desi on April 27, 2012, 04:01:50 am
Yia sou Tasty,

I haven't heard of your Greek cooking book, but then again I don't have many of them. Did you buy it in Oz or in Greece. The migdalota sounds lovely, I'd like to try this recipe as well. Let me know how you go with it and then we can post it here. D :)
Title: Re: Hi from Hobart
Post by: Tasty on April 27, 2012, 05:36:46 am
I bought it from here in Australia from my consultant.

I'll let you know how I go with the amigdalota when I get around to doing them.
