Title: A Big Hello from Sydney!
Post by: nhatsta on July 11, 2012, 04:28:03 pm: Hi Everyone!! I am so excited to be finally posting here as I have been ogling recipes on this forum since I first laid eyes on the Thermomix at a friend's house. :D
So funny, I initially thought it was a pressure cooker but of course I have since found out it is so much more! Once I found what an amazing machine it was, I knew I had to have one! Fortunately, Hubby is a bit of a 'Gadget Man' so he was quite excited by the Thermomix and now we have our very own Thermomix! :D
I have since made pasta (first ever time) which was so easy and fast, ice cream, food for Bub, daily brekkie milk shakes, orange almond cake and a few other things. I have to admit that I am not a very good cook normally, but the Thermomix has reallly increased my confidence. I would like to also thank everyone on this forum for making it such a great resource for Thermomix newbies like me. I just love reading all the wonderful posts and recipes and the enthusiasm people have for the Thermomix is infectious! Sincerely yours, Newbie from Sydney xox

Sounds like you have been pretty busy since having your TM. :)

Yes, I was very lucky my Hubby was willing to buy the Thermomix. Truth be told, he was the one who encouraged me to buy it so he could have a go at it himself! We have only had the Thermomix for 3 weeks, and I think he has used it more than me. his favourite recipe has been the lemon/lime sorbet, even though it is freezing here in Sydney!
He just loves gadgets, and to him the Thermomix is the ultimate gadget ... aside from his trusty Weber bbq that is.

Post by: nhatsta on July 15, 2012, 05:35:10 am: Thank you again ladies!
I let Hubby have full reign of the kitchen and *: on the weekends as he is a bit of a "foodie" and loves to cook on his days off. Hey I get fed so I am not complaining! ;D
He has just made a lemon/orange souffle with the Thermomix and it rose really, really well in the oven, but alas, it kind of collapsed when he took it out. He was devastated! It tasted pretty good though.
Just wondering if anyone has a special trick to keep the souffles up when taken out of the oven?

From another mum-of-3! :D

Post by: droverjess on July 15, 2012, 04:23:08 pm: Souffles need to come straight to the table so timing is everything.

No draughts, no tripping up, and a steady hand to carrymit all help to keep it up until served. It will sink a bit anyway, unless you eat it first!

Post by: nhatsta on July 17, 2012, 01:38:20 pm: Thank you Droverjess for your advice regarding the souffle.
I will try and implement your tips next time we make souffle.
Nhatsta x.
