I really appreciate all your support and ideas. I am very excited to start cooking, I will make the mixture for the chicken curry puffs today and freeze and see what I can make tomorrow and Saturday, so hopefully I wont be up at 6am on Sunday.

Yes its very nice to have a lovely high/afternoon tea with all the finery(sp), my lovely teaset nad dinner set will get used at last!

I am also making some finger sandwiches, shortbread and few other bits and pieces, the weather looks good for us in Perth, so it should all go according to plan.

Thanks again everyone - new to my TM but absolutely loving it.

Thank you so much - you are just fantastic.

Yes I am having a high tea - no-one is having lunch so we are doing the full on high tea with savouries, cheese plate, dips and then all the yummy goodies. I have bought a tired stand, plus I have the royal doulton teasetting in the cupboard looking pretty and not being used. I will be serving twingings afternoon tea and champagne.  I would also like to try Chookies Chow Mein and make spring rolls out of themm, I have a deep fat fryer but am too scared to use it, but will give it a go. I am holding it outside, we have a nice alfresco area overlooking our pool, have a nice white linen table cloth and I think it will all look beautiful, its nice to spoil friends.

I made Nay Nay scones last night to try them - they were delicious.

I am also going to make CP63's cream puffs, I will do some vol au vents, also the chicken curry pasties, wil try maddys cake pops, the passion fruit butter seems to be a go with the scones. The chicken hors d'ouevres sound good and can be made on the Saturday.

It is all going to be such fun - I am really looking forward to hosting it and cooking, eating and drinkint it all!

You gusy are the best.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I am having high tea at my house for mothers day this sunday. As we do not have any family here we have invited some good friends and their parents. I would like to food to taste great, but would love to be able to prepare as much as I can on the sunday.

I am hoping to show off my new Thermomix and make as much as possible in the machine.

Suggestions and recipies would be most welcome.

Thanks - Hally

Ok I have fried rice in the varoma - just added the eggs to make the omelette. It is smelling very very good. My son loves rice and I thought I would be very brave and have a go.

The test will be in the eating - but hopefully I followed the recipe well. If it works - well I must say this will be the easiest fried rice I have ever made :)

I am very proud of myself.

Just finished a small bowl - and it was lovely, I am sure my son will like it too - thanks again for all your help

Thank you all for your advice.

I will be cooking the chicken with cashews this week. Its my goal to use the varoma.
I had some friends over for a BBQ yesterday and did nearly the whole meal with my TM.

We have some left overs to get through. I did Chermoula chicken (Matt Moran recipe) it took 2 secs to chop all the herbs, it was great, normally takes a long time by hand.

Love cooking

You are very brave - I havent touched mine - a little scared of it to be honest.

Let me know how you go and how the meal goes - then maybe I will try the recipe. :)

Thanks

Thanks for the info Judy. I will keep an eye out for a Perth get together.

Been busy again with my lovely machine - I cant imagine life without it now.

Just made some ice-cream - so hoping it works out OK - it tasted delicious hot.

So much to make, I worry that we are all going to gain kgs!

Hi everyone,

My lovely husband asked if I wanted to go out for dinner tonight, yeah right I am way too happy cooking at the moment!! I use my thermomix a minimum of twice per day so far.

I am in Perth, WA - are there many of the site from Perth?

Hi gonecrazy - maybe we can help each other out as newbies.

Thanks for the welcome posts :)

Just whipped up a risotto for dinner as a Side Dish. Would always have risotto as the main meal, now I use the risotto as a bed for a chicken breast.

Just loving my machine,

Hi everyone,

I received my lovely new machine last Tuesday and have been having such fun cooking with the Thermomix. I made some soup today and actually felt like I had cheated! It was sooooo easy.

Hoping to get lots of tips and recipe ideas.
