what cooking class are you off to Alina!  You are a cooking class junkie!

Im making Swedish Meatballs ala Nico Moretti recipe - Im trying to see how they compare to IKEA meatballs.....I didnt have any dill so had to replace with oregano and tyme so expecting them to be more Italian than Swedish!!!
But I will still make the sauce that goes with them not a tomato sauce

Bread / my bread!
« on: November 24, 2008, 08:35:54 am »
Im just not happy with the bread!!!
I like a nice big piece of toast and normal looking sanwhiches but Ive not been able to get a loaf out that looks like a 'normal' loaf
They are either like vienna loaves if I dont put in a loaf tin, or like a banana cake shape loaf if i do put in a loaf tin
Anyone willing to share their bread tips and pictures!!  I guess Ive been used to a breadmaker shaped type of loaf

Desserts / Re: Chocolate Mascapone Dessert with Strawberries

I also made the same dessert but poured Frangelico over the marscapone.....as well as mixing some in the marscapone...I also layered the nuts/choc mix with the marscapone instead of putting all the mix on the top...and i used mixed frozen berries as the fruit and also poured cointreau over the fruit
the kids didnt have any!!!!

Desserts / Re: Shortbread Recipe
« on: November 21, 2008, 08:37:28 am »
I make the shortbread out of the Everyday cooking book, similar recipe as above but replace 50g of the flour with rice flour....seems to give a better texture
but i like the idea of adding lemon to it

just one thing i havent got right the last few times...ive ground my raw sugar into caster sugar then added the other ingred...but am finding that the biscuits seem to brown really quickly even if my oven is only on 160, do you think it might have anyhting to do with the sugar being too close to icing sugar and therefore caramelising too quickly?

freeze it in icecube trays ...then make the Quick fruity icecream out of the recipe book, just use frozen berries or something....as if you were making sorbet but it will of course be more like a frozen yoghurt icecream

I just made this....its delish....but when I was putting the icecubes in straight out of the ice cube container in the freezer, an errant plastic water filled ice cube made its way into the TM bowl......ive found a few bits of plastic but not enough to make a whole cube!!

Tips and Tricks / Room temperature eggs
« on: November 10, 2008, 12:39:26 pm »
When I was doing my practical demo training yesterday I got told about a hot tip!!
If you are making mayonnaise and have forgotten to take your eggs out of the fridge, dont despair.....when you are first mixing the egg and mustard put the temperature on 37, this will bring everything in the TM bowl to room temperature.  MIx for about 2mins (not 30secs as advised in the book)
Turn off the temperature and Then add your oil as per normal
Dont put your lemon juice or vinegar in until the last

It worked perfectly and I have had a few disasters with mayo!!!!

i was told at my thermomix training that you should put the yoghurt into a thermos or yoghurt maker once made as this will keep it warm for the length of time that is needed to make it thick
