Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Marzipan
« on: December 27, 2009, 01:00:04 am »
I made the Marzipan from the UK Thermomix Forum. It was very easy to make and I had success straight up. When I tasted the marzipan a memory of childhood Christmas in Holland came rushing back... my mother made marzipan potatoes... so I did the same by rolling the baby potato shapes in cocoa. The verdict from those who like a sweet almond taste was a perfect 5/5. If I was artistic I would have made the fruits(peaches, apricots) as well. Will have to ask DD to have a go for me. ;D

Recipe Book Recipe Reviews / Panettone
« on: December 27, 2009, 12:52:51 am »
For Christmas I decided to make the Panettone recipe from the UK Thermomix Forum. The first one I made I was too impatient, and it didn't rise enough :o, but the taste was divine. The second try was very successful until DH decided to remove paper whilst still hot,which meant it got squashed >:(. Third try a complete success and DH didn't dare go near it until it was offered to him to eat  :) :) :) :) :) the verdict was 5/5

Thanks! Will try some rosemary next time as I've got plenty growing in the garden and I do love rosemary. :)

Starters and Snacks / Spiced Nuts
« on: December 12, 2009, 04:12:53 am »
Spiced Nuts

Ingredients:
30g olive oil
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
30g maple syrup
1 clove garlic crushed/bruised
2 teaspoons sea salt flakes
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder or flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
500g mixed unsalted nuts(if you have salted nut don't used salt flakes)

Preparation:
1. Preheat oven 180 0 C
2. Line oven tray with baking paper
3. Place all ingredients in TMX except NUTS 1minute, 37OC on ^^
4. Add all the nuts 1 1/2 minutes  on  :-: ^^
5. Bake for 10 -15 minutes


Tips/Hints:I got this out of a magazine sitting on a shelf in a caravan park and have just converted it for the thermo mix. The result I got from the TMX was better than on any other occasion that I've made it. I've used more maple syrup than what the original recipe called for but everyone likes my version better. Go easy on the chilli powder...last time I accidently put in 2 tablespoons and the grandkids weren't too pleased :o but if you like hot hot food it is  ;D good. These nuts are great for nibbles at any time. Should be eaten cold but we like them hot out of the oven too. The recipe originally stated that they can be made 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container, but I've taken them on camping trips and they were OK a week later although they don't usually last that long.

Bread / Savoury Flat bread
« on: December 11, 2009, 02:29:19 am »
Yesterday I tried to make the Savoury Flat Bread in Gluten free cooking. Aside from the fact that half way through we had a major power failure and it didn't finish cooking  :-\ I'm not sure as to how long it should cook for (no mention of time in book). It did have a soft crust on top, but the taste wasn't what I expected ... mind you the chick peas were well past their use by date. Is there anyone out there who has made this, and can tell me about their experience with this recipe. Thanks! :)

Introduce Yourself / Hello from Central Victoria
« on: December 06, 2009, 07:46:42 am »
I'd like to introduce myself. I'm an oldy just back from the Great Victorian Bike ride where my husband and I were support crew for our daughter and grandson. The TM went with us and was used several times each day, 8). We didn't camp but had accommodation, so the TM was safe. I have had the TM since the end of October and the poor thing is nearly worn out already. I must admit that I'm still a bit fearful when cleaning the blade, but daughter who introduced me to the joys of Thermomix has told me it won't cut me :-)). I have enjoyed many of the recipes I've found here and in the books from *: Looking forward to using the machine for our family Christmas. Will be starting tomorrow.
