Title: Hello from Adelaide (waiting to be a TMX owner)
Post by: ~Vanessa~ on August 06, 2012, 03:58:25 am: Hi everyone, I am waiting to be a Thermomix owner, (should be this week hopefully, money has gone from my account, now just to wait for the machine to arrive).

We are a family of 2 (me and DP) we both work full time and live on 2 acres on the outskirts of town, and avoid artificial flavours, flavour enhancers, colours and preservatives, and are currently experimenting with low gluten foods. I'm hoping that the TMX will open up new possibilities to food, whether that is cooking more of the foods which I can make but cant be bothered (breads, jams, sauces etc) or being able to make different foods which we have given up as part of avoiding "nasty additives", things like pizzas (make our own base, and base sauce), Tacos, yiros's (and probably many more)

What should I expect from my "delivery"?

I have been trying to think of some simple, quick things to "cook" when my machine arrives while the consultant is there to help me out, I have been thinking about the foods we currently eat and how we could do this in the TMX.

So far I have thought about rice cooked by the absorption method (is this possible in the TMX?), butter, GF meat patties (carrot, onion and garlic grated, mixed with leftover rice, mince and egg) I would like to find a good bread recipe to give that a go as well.

There are alot of recipes on this wonderful forum, I'm sure someone with more computer skills will link them for you!
Isi's bread recipes are great, and the recipe titled "enough rice to feed the family" or something similar is a good one too.

Enjoy. :)

BTW, I think there is someone with a very similar name already on this forum??

As for bread are you looking for a GF bread recipe or any recipe? There are quiet a few good ones on the forum. I love the No fuss bread, it's really easy too.
Good luck.

Oops, a quick scan of the member list tells me you are correct, maybe I should put my thinking cap on and think of something different.....that is if you can change your user name??

Like Gert I often make this as a loaf too.This (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4253.0) is the link to the No Fuss rolls.

Looking at the member list the other 'Vanessas' haven't posted and have been members for some time.

Post by: judydawn on August 06, 2012, 07:14:28 am: That was a quick name change Vanessa, well done. Welcome to our wonderful forum where answers are willingly given if we are able.

Here's the rice method you are after - Chookies absorbtion method rice (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=9059.0)

I would contact the consultant and tell her what you would like to cook at your delivery demo. Custards, sorbets etc are dead easy and you would be better off making something a little more substantial if you are able. One of the first things people make is the vegetable stock concentrate so that you have it on hand immediately but once again, it is so simple you may wish to disregard this one too. I'd tell her you want to make a meal, bread/rolls or a cake/dessert - or all three if possible. Have a browse of the forum and pick out some recipes that you are able to request.

Cookie1, thanks for those links I will check them out, and yes I did notice the other "Vanessa's" look like they signed up quite a while ago but have not been active

It was actually the consultant who recommended we think of a couple of things to cook while she was there
