Title: I'm getting a Thermomix - sooo excited!!
Post by: Chickie on November 22, 2012, 03:32:12 am: Hi everyone I'm new here but have been lurking for a little while looking at all of your yummy recipes.

So after about a year of gentle persuasion DH has agreed to purchase a Thermomix!! We had a demo on mini Monday night and my new baby will be delivered on Tuesday ;D

I'm really looking forward to trying it out - I've even to taken the day off so I can have the whole day to play :)

Post by: Chickie on November 22, 2012, 05:00:53 am: Thank you everyone for the kind welcome.

I have decided to start with some curries as DH loves them. I will be making Indian patties with raita for entrée, Beef Massaman and Thai chilli chicken and basil with some Naan for the main and lemon sorbet for dessert. I hope they turn out ok :)

I do have a big grocery list written and my consultant told me about a really good online store where I can purchase a lot of my whole grains and spices and things quite cheaply. I have just put in a big order :)

I'm really looking forward to trying out making my own rolls and bread as well

Post by: Chickie on November 26, 2012, 03:53:26 am: Thank you everyone for the lovely welcome. Only one more sleep and my thermie is arriving!!

The online company I used to purchase my grains etc is called 2 brothers. They seem reasonably priced and deliver for 3.50 in Perth. My ingredients should be here today so not sure about the quality yet.

I've been doing a lot of research on here for tips, tricks and recipes. This is such a great site for information, I'm very lucky that I found it :) Thank you to everyone who contributes and I hope one day I'll be experienced enough to make a worthwhile contribution to the forum.

I have posted some Indian recipes. The Naan seems to be quite popular. I also make the Madras Curry powder from the Indian Book.

Title: Re: I'm getting a Thermomix - sooo excited!!
Post by: Chickie on November 27, 2012, 10:17:29 pm: It's arrived!!

Thanks everyone, yesterday was a huge success with my new thermie :)

Hi Chookie, I definetly will be giving many of your recipes a go ;D I tried two of them yesterday - Indian Patties and Naan. Everyone really loved them - especially the naan. The kids only wanted to eat that for dinner and DH said its the best he's had. ( hence he is now very impressed with the thermie :) )

I also made JD's Thai chilli chicken and basil which DH said was restaurant quality!! Some raita to go with the patties, some brown rice and beef massaman. After all of that I was too worn out and family was too full to make the sorbet - will make tonight.

I can safely say I am officially obsessed with my thermomix haha.
