Cakes / Lemon, almond and raspberry muffins
« on: September 15, 2011, 01:32:23 pm »
I have just made this recipe up as as muffins

http://englishmum.com/rapeseed-oil-and-a-lemon-and-almond-cake.html

I followed the recipe exactly - mixing the oil, eggs, sugar and zest at speed 4 for a few seconds, then adding the lemon juice, almonds and flour at speed 4 for probably 30 seconds until combined.

I then threw in a punnet of fresh raspberries on reverse spoon speed until just combined

180 degrees about 15 minutes - really really good

Introduce Yourself / Hello from London!
« on: May 22, 2011, 08:35:48 am »
hello everyone

I've been impatiently waiting for my account to be approved so i could log in and say hello to you all.

I seem to be one of your few members in the UK - not much seems to be known about TMXs here but I have Italian heritage (both parents) so  know all about them. I have yet to have a demo and got my machine direct. Are there any other UK members?

I am a new TMX owner and have had my TMX for 4 days. So far I have made a tomato sauce (for pasta), a cheese sauce and steamed veggies (in the Varoma), the steamed garlic rice, and some pineapple sorbet.

I have lots of questions - esp re chopping vegetables - is it possible to get a 'dice' sort of chop - I keep turning mine to mush! Also I'd like to try and grate carrots and courgettes (zucchini) and not having much luck with that either!

can't wait to get involved with you all!
