I recently decided to interact with Thermomix again and buy a Cook key and the recipes that are then available from Cooki-doo. You get a 6 month subscription of Cooki-doo with the cook key. Naturally being Thermomix you then have to pay $49/year for it. After some fighting with them (I was overcharged for the Cook key!) I hope I have sorted it.
I know there are a few others who also have it so I thought it may be an idea to share what we have cooked and a brief comment on it. Not necessarily a review though. ( I checked with Judy and CC)

Peanut Butter and Choc Chip Slice
This is from the biscuits book. We like it and I will make it again.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180925/e55408222b4611acdef8f60c2afe0507.jpg)

Tuscan Bean Soup
This is a meal in itself. We loved it and had it as a meal with bread.
-
Beef Goulash with Dumplings
From the Oktoberfest book. Very tasty and I will make again. The breadcrumb dumplings were especially nice.

Great idea to do this Cookie. There are so many recipes so great to hear what ones others like.
-
Your on a roll Cookie . Well done . I made the hot smoked salmon soufflé for dinner tonight in the Varoma . Light and very tasty.
-
Thanks for starting this thread Cookie. It’s going to be very useful for our members to try recommended recipes.
-
Thanks Cookie but what is the advantage over converting recipes. ?
-
None what so ever really Chookie. You can cook them using the cook key and do it on the 'auto' setting on the thermomix. It is really just another set of recipe books.
I'm finding it different as I hardly ever use the 'auto' on the TM5.
-
Good idea cookie, I wonder how many of our members have it?
-
Thanks Cookie. I must say I don’t like being tied into any continuing paying plans.

Thanks Cookie. I must say I don’t like being tied into any continuing paying plans.
I will certainly be reviewing things when my 6 months free trail is up Chookie. I will assess if the new content is worth it or not.

Ham and Zucchini Slice
I made a half recipe of this. The zucchini is cooked in the Varoma before you make the rest. I found the finished product quite watery compared to other zucchini slices. I don’t think I will make this recipe again.
The recipe was from the book Zucchini Recipes.
-
Salmon en Croute
This is from the Salmon dishes book
We really enjoyed it. Even DH who isn’t overly fond of salmon had seconds. It uses fresh and smoked salmon. The recipe has a lemon risotto with it but I didn’t make that.

That does look nice Cookie.
-
It used the soft herb and garlic cheese to bind the salmon and smoked salmon together. Very easy but tasty.

Red Beans and Rice with Turkey Meatballs. Recipe from Low(er) GI Collection.
The recipe can also be found here (https://www.recipecommunity.com.au/main-dishes-meat-recipes/red-beans-and-rice-with-turkey-meatballs/12uzc17e-9d870-754098-cfcd2-f1zjldaq).
A very tasty recipe. I followed the recipe ingredients exactly. I made 15 turkey meatballs. Would make the meatballs smaller next time and use the Varoma tray too. The finished recipe makes masses and is very filling, so be warned. LOL
-
We had the Vegetable Bake with Goat’s Cheese Feta last night. I used cow feta. It seemed to take ages to make, but I think it would be quicker next time.
I loved CC’s idea of linking.
The recipe is from The Vegetarian Kitchen. It is here (https://cookidoo.com.au/vorwerkWebapp/app#/recipe/8834464301686?singleRecipe=true). Yippee, after much fiddling I remembered how to do it.

I am going to try this with tofu nuggets instead of turkey ... it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Thanks for the links girls.

Pork chops with orange sauce from the UK Cookidoo . Mashed potato made earlier put into thermosever .silverbeet from the garden . Really nice sauce so easy .
-
The other night we had a Lentil Curry Stew thing with chicken. I only made a half quantity. It made a lot of sauce, so the next night I added some prawn and squid to the sauce, so it fed it us for 2 nights. It was very nice. I also made some Naan to go with it. Here (https://cookidoo.com.au/vorwerkWebapp/app#/recipe/8834444444278?singleRecipe=true)it is.

Great value meals cookie.
-
We had the Ricotta Gnocchi from the Ricotta book the other night. The gnocchi was very easy to make and had a lovely flavour. I prefer them to potato ones. The sauce was ok, but I won’t make it again as we prefer others.

Looks very tasty Cookie😋

I made some seed slice from the book Plant to Plate that has just been released. They were very tasty and only 130 calories each piece. A friend tried them and wondered if we were eating the budgie's food. I halved the sugar syrups in them and they were plenty sweet enough. I had put the link up but when I tested it, you had to log in, they are getting cunning. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190331/f28e2d677603579b3343bbc21568054a.jpg)

Beef and mushroom stroganoff (TM6)
https://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r490454
Made this friday Nite, from TM6, with Cookdoo. Pretty easy and straight forward. We all liked, will make again.
I don't really like following a recipie 100%, but I did to try out the TM6.
-
Thanks Robyn.
-
I have made Afghan biscuits from the New Zealand collection and DH really enjoyed them. I'm hoping the cook key will get me back on track with cooking.
-
That’s great news Mich. I must try them.
-
I tried Sticky Sesame Chicken from Cookidoo for our dinner tonight.
I halved the honey and sugar and it was plenty sweet enough for us. Next time I would grease the baking tray better as my chicken stuck a bit and difficult to lift off. It was very tasty. I used brown rice instead of Jasmine rice,
-
thanks Denise. Another one to add to my collection.
-
Ladies, on Cooki-doo are the recipes attributed to the person who created it?
-
No Judy. They are all simply available and I haven’t seen any acknowledgements.
-
Thanks cookie.
-
This is the bread I made today. https://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r316229
I added 2 teaspoons of yeast, not 1 as they said. I also only added a tiny bit of sugar.

Perfect cookie.
-
Magnificent loaf Cookie,
-
Cookie, your experience is showing. Making those changes has produced a beautiful loaf.
-
Thank you.
-
I made Swedish meatballs from Cookidoo tonight, the meatballs were good the sauce was a bit bland but maybe some salt & pepper added would do the trick.
-
It’s amazing what S & P (salt in particular for me) can add to the taste of bland food knittercook.
-
I should have tasted it before serving.
-
I made the Beef Buns last night. I was a bit worried as the filling ended up looking like a ghastly sloshy mix (I will purée it less next time) but they tasted fine. We had them with sweet chilli sauce. They were fairly quick to make and cook.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190901/765742e8c853adc7275d5fb2633fc693.jpg)
-
Interesting Cookie. How did they taste?
-
I am finding alot of recipies on cookidoo bland.
Note add more S & P, seasonings.
-
So true Robyn.
Sorry Chookie, I only just saw your question. The Beef Buns were quite nice,but you did need to dip them in something tasty.
-
Because you can no longer add comments on Cookidoo recipes a Facebook site has been set up. MJ features on it quite a lot. I’m finding it handy to see what people think of the recipes.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/164701797398062/
You do need to ask to join, but it is no problem.
-
Thanks for that Cookie, will have a look. I joined fb just so I could join some foodie groups that you couldn't see if not a member. :)
-
Done Cookie , any inspiration is good .
-
Bacon and Corn Quiche from Cookidoo. It’s from the UK book Savoury. It was very nice. Different to most quiches I make as it had a lot of filling. When I sautéed the bacon and leek I used reverse. We will be having it again.

Sounds nice Cookie, have made note of that one. Some nice recipes in that collection. :)
-
There certainly are JulieO. Lots I want to try.
-
I made Potato Farls last night to have with our rissoles and veggies. The flavour was fine, but I think they needed more flour as I found the dough very hard to handle.

Hello all! Long time since I've been on here. I thought I'd see if you had a thread for the Cookidoo. I've just bought a TM6, handed my TM5 down to my DIL and was planning to hand her (my previous) TM31 to my other son when it got an error 52 which we think is the Motherboard, If so, not worth fixing. So timely!!
Really enjoying Cookidoo, but have had a few fails, so was hoping I'd find you all testing the recipes madly and commenting here.
Good to be back! ;D

Cookie I put in a request to the group when you posted this but I haven't heard back!. I think it's because I don't have a social profile on my fb which I only joined to be able to see closed foodie groups. I've had no trouble joining other groups up to now. ;D
-
I’ll see if I can add you
-
Have you tried accessing it JulieO? I don't have a profile on facebook, like you I joined to use Tenina's site etc. Although now I do have a facebook site to sort of promote thermomix cooking. All I do really is share my cooking and give the recipe.
-
Just tried Cookie, but it says' Pending'. It's okay.
Thanks for trying MJ, I appreciate it. :D

Made peanut butter choc chip slice from sweet slices. I would only add half the honey next time and increase the peanut butter or use another nut butter as I couldn't really taste it. It is a bit crumbly too, that could be due to something I did. DH loves it and so does mum.
-
Thanks Mich, this looks like something my mob would enjoy.
-
Michele, sounds nice.
-
I have made a couple of things from Cookidoo since getting the 6. The first main meal I was disappointed in. It was Korean Chicken.
The second main meal we had last night was aChipotle Chilli Beef Cobbler. It was very nice and we have enough for tonight as well. The meat didn't mush up at all. My only complaint is that it took me 2½ hours to do it. Next time I will cook the meat part in the 6 and the cobbler part in the 5.
The Orange and Currant Biscuits I made the other day were from Cookidoo too. It wont let me link the recipe Grrr.

Cookie, interesting, thanks.
-
Good to hear you’ve had some success cookie.
-
I used the high heat to do some carrot slices tonight and they were ok. A bit too much oil for us, so they could sizzle I guess. I also did some broccoli separately with a similar outcome. I would prefer stir fried veggies. I haven’t tried the onions yet.
-
I chose not to have a Cook Key, still like to do my own thing. Have even gone back to cooking some recipes on the gas top. Bol Sauce and Chow Mein.
-
I totally agree Chookie. We use what we think gives us the best results. I wanted to try this, but it isn't for us. I usually do my stir fried veggies in a non stick pan so the 50g EVOO was way over the top. I have cookidoo but each year when it is time to renew, I have a big think. I think DD may use it in her new house.
