Just found out that George Columbaris will be using his Thermomix on MC next friday night in his Master Class. What a great time for Karen to be starting her business!!!
Lets hope he doesn't call it a food processor.........
Friday 10th JULY, 7pm Channel 10........spread the word!!!
-
exciting!!!! (not that i watch masterchef so you all have to remind me!)
-
Yippppeeeee - and you mean it is HIS Thermomix? So he has one and uses it? Brilliant publicity!!!
Get the news out there you consultants - business is about to soar :)
-
I'm about to start twittering this forum in my twitter feed, grow this forum in everyone's interests lol (well mine really cause the more you all share the more I have to make since the science ??? of cooking eludes me :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ and I can really only follow a recipe masterfully ...might have to throw one in about this as well ;D
-
Told my 4 year old grand-daughter about this today and she is so excited - she loves watching that show with her mum and of course loves the TMX - we made muffins down there today. We rarely go out at night but buggar, we have to go out this Friday night so will have to tape it - can't miss it and hope it gets more publicity than on BH & G the other week.

George is Janine's customer and she told me he has 2 in his kitchen. ;D
-
Wow - NOW I am SUPER impressed. Our family loves the show...
-
That is so exciting! I love MC and it will be so cool to see TM up there doing her thing.
And if you miss it on TV you can watch it online on the website by the next day (Aussies only)

I'd watch the episode just to look at George

You wouldn't be alone there Paul. There was an article in one of the papers here (I think it was the Herald Sun) about how he is the new Sex Symbol and has women flocking to his restaurant to ask him out... :D :D :D
-
Paul, if you are into Greek chefs, then here is a photo of Janni - the man behind the scenes at Berowra Waters, Bennelong and MG Garage.

Thanks TM, although I have never met the man I did eat a few meals at MG Garage and really enjoyed them. After the first time, I won a $500 meal there by paying with a credit card (I had no idea I had entered a competition) so I had to fly back from Cairns to enjoy a second meal. You seem to know a lot of these chefs - what's your secret identitity? :D
-
Just to clarify the date... did you mean the 10th of July, instead of the 10th of August? They are talking finals week next week, so it must be nearly finished. It doesn't sound like its going to go on that much longer.
-
Definitely July :)

Boy, wish I could win something like that !!

No secret identity. Only happened through pestering the poor staff in restaurants so that the chefs come to answer questions. MrsT was so embarrassed to start, but now accepts that most of the chefs appreciate punters showing interest.
I have met many through hands-on cooking classes. Should acknowledge some of the poor victims on my blog.

It's nice when they come and talk to you after the meal. Tetsuya always does it, and the last time anyone did it was Luke Mangan. I like it, it gives them a connection they should seek
-
My kids were so excited to hear George would be using our 'new machine' on their favourite show! They want to know if they're other fav cooking show will have it on there - "The cook and The Chef"? :-))
-
Just thinking that some of the more experienced "posters" from Australia might like to keep an eye on the Master Chef website forums & if anyone starts a thread about TM make sure they are holding it in the best light. There are, understandably, rules preventing posts linked to advertising commercial products but some well aimed & timed comments from happy users might spread the word to a different audience..............
-
Good thinking JD ;)
-
I saw our very own Thermomixer on the MasterChef forums the other day, talking about equipment. Me, I just lurk.
-
That was the egg-topper. It was developed by a chef at a restaurant I visited in Paris during April.
-
Surprised to see no comments about last night's masterchef! At least he called it a thermomix. I was amazed at how quiet they made it seem ... until it finished and gave its trademark chirp!
Have found a thread starting on masterchef but I am not a member
http://www.masterchef.com.au/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=107260&tstart=0
-
I got a txt from a friend in Ballarat who knows I have one. She was really excited. My sister sent me an online message LOL. It was great to hear the chirpy noise. I wondered if they were going to keep that in :D It was great to show how effortlessly he made the "custard"... can't remember the technical name. It was a huge contrast to some of the sauces and custards the contestants have made by whisking in etc. If George had shown how to make a proffiterole in the TMX, all those crocquembouche contestants would have fallen off their chairs LOL
-
Ooh, looked at the recipe for the Sabayon and Choc Cigars (the recipe using the TMX). Part of the recipe tells you how to make it in the TMX and there's a note at the bottom which tells you what it is!
http://www.masterchef.com.au/chocolate-cigars-with-sabayon.htm
-
I tried to register with the website for MC to be able to post on their forums - twice I was told I would be sent a confirmation email which hasn't eventuated so I can't do any bolstering of the product. :'(
My Herald has just arrived..............ok, its a small but succinct description, saying Gordon Ramsey & George Calombaris have them. Gives the price, what it does, website & mentions payment plans are available........looks good.
Thought the machine went well on TV & certainly they had dulled out the "speed 4" noise.
I too had 2 friends ring/SMS me to remind me!!! it was on..
-
Clearly Thermomixer is more desireable a member than I as he managed to post.
Great post TM, well done. Especially in making the point that you are not associated with the company, merely a fan :-* ;D ;D

We were out last night and the first thing I did when we got home was to check the forum to see what comments were made about MC. As there were none, I thought it was another let down. Fast forwarded right through the show to check and of course, it was right at the end. Nice dessert! Reckon we could make the cigar filling in the TMX as well (carefully though or the nuts would turn into powder). Thought the price indication was a bit off on their web-site - instead of saying well over $1000 it should have read just under $2000 :o :o :o :o
-

I had problems with registering too - but I did it a while ago in anticipation that one of the guest chefs may bring one along.

Probably reflects our personalities Thermomixer - you plan while I fly by the seat of my pants!!!! ;D
-
I looked at the recipe too and thought the whole thing could have been made in the TMX - :-))shame he didn't, would really have shown it in a great light ;)
-
I was very underwhelmed by the segment. Although iw as glad to see it was actually used andhe used it for heating something so that it showes it is quite versatile but still was not so ...... not sure what the word would be but... :-\
-

I reckon you could make ahead and freeze those cigars for an even quicker, impressive dessert for dinner parties.
-
I guess it didn't get a huge rave up because that's not what the Masterclass is about. They don't rave up saucepans, stoves and other things they use. I thought it was lucky to get the whole "This is a Thermomix and it does this". The name was there. People can go and look it up and see what it does. On BH&G, it didn't even get named, so most people would have thought it was a futuristic looking blender.
-
i thought rowy poste a link where we could watch? i didn't get to see last night
-
Try this link. Hopefully the fact that it is Flash won't make anyone's computer blow up...

thanks :)
-
There is a mistake in the recipe on the MasterChef site ( http://www.masterchef.com.au/chocolate-cigars-with-sabayon.htm). In step 4, where it says "Alternately combine egg yolks and sugar", it really should say "Alternatively, combine egg yolks and sugar", otherwise you would be cooking the sabayon twice! The second part of step 4 is for unfortunate people without a Thermomix.
-
I too had friends SMSing me to watch. I thought it was good. I liked the simple way it was introduced, as though everyone used a thermomix. Then the fact that you could put all the ingredients in and just leave it and get a perfect result was a good advertisement for the machine.
Todays paper here, "The Sunday Times," has an article on MC and it says in that the machines , pots, etc that are featured on MC are sought out by viewers. So I wonder if TMX will have an influx of queries. I wonder if people will just go into shops and try and purchase them or actually try the website. It would be interesting to know.
-
Compared with BH&G shamozzle - I thought MC went really well. The fact that George took the time to introduce it, give it a quick summary and explain what he was doing as he used it was a real credit!
And a big pat on the back to Janine and the other consultants who worked their magic to get it on there! "CLAP" "CLAP" "CLAP" - Master Moderator - can we get a clapping smiley please...... ;D :-* :-* :-*

Congratulations to the team - I thought that it was good, but certainly not a big wrap for the Thermomix.
It will be interesting to see what increase there is in inquiries at HQ after the Herald Sun, West Australian, The Australian and Masterchef promos.
Why didn't he use the butterfly ??
-
That promotion was also in the Adelaide's Sunday Mail Home supplement so looks like all the states had the same write-up.
Should we use the butterfly if we make the sabayon, Thermomixer? I wouldn't mind giving it a go when I have some egg yolks leftover, could the rum be substituted with anything else. I only have white rum in my cupboard.
-
Hi JD - you get better results - there is a recipe http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=80.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=80.0) for a variation of zabaglione - which is effectively the same as sabayon (only Italian).
I found that creaming the egg yolks and sugar first gave a better result and less egg stuck to the base, but you can thorw it all in at the start, then set temp and forget.
Intrepidtrier (on another forum) found this too alcoholic and gave it to the cows !! So beware and maybe use half orange juice and half grog.
This is based on the UK Thermomix cookbook recipe and the Italian websites, where the butterfly is used for the recipes.
-
Ooh, that looks nicer Thermomixer (zabaglione with baileys) - have printed that one out.
-
%#^&* I didn't get a confirmation email either. I shouldn't have lurked all season, this sucks a bit :(
I try to ignore all dessert/creamy sauce/alcohol recipes as I am already big enough, but oooh that zabaglione sounds great!
-
Well, Tenina has managed to produce a Thermomix friendly version of the cigars: http://thermorecipes.blogspot.com/2009/07/channeling-your-inner-master-chef.html (http://thermorecipes.blogspot.com/2009/07/channeling-your-inner-master-chef.html)
-
Oh that Tenina is a champ!!! :-*
-
Thanks TMxer for posting Tanina recipe - Look forward to trying this one on my next dinner date ;) ;) ;) Although I will Have to wait until my oven is fixed :'( :'(

Looks like Thermomixer has been busy over there too in the forum and recipe sites.
great to have the xposure on tv.
-
Had another go at looking for the discussions of the TMX on the MC forum tonight and finally found them. I hate reading all the negativity from people who haven't a clue about the machine - how can they possibly judge when they don't know the full capabilities of the machine. Just because it is expensive, you get all this rubbish on forums putting it down. Makes my blood boil.
-
I'm with you JD, I hate people slagging off our Thermomix! Ive seen the same thing on a few parenting forums I lurk around and I feel that no matter how hard you argue the case you just cant change their attitude, unless of course they actually see it!
-

Really does make me wonder WHY did TMX HQ not gear up their team to have as many consultants/users ready to jump in and flood the discussions with positives??
-
I suspect that many of the TM consultants are not huge forum followers!!!!
Too busy selling thermomixes! ;)
-
They would sell even more Thermomixes if TMX Oz HQ organised themselves better with advertising and promotion and made sure that there were more positives than negatives i.
If there were more "average Jos/Joes" syaing - hey I'm not a mulit-millionaire w**ker and I bought a Thermomix. They are great because ..... and have lots of people flooding the press/internet with fantastic comments/recommendations.
At present, lots of people will be saying - it is a lot of money to pay and they seem to be absolute crap with service - I sent them 3 emails and haven't heard a b**dy thing. What will they be like once I buy a machine. FORGET IT !!! I'll buy a Kenwood/Kitchen Aid - less hassle -just have to go to the shop and hand over some readies and can get it straight away.
Really, it is sad for consultants - as you say - there's lots of negativity on forums etc and it should be possible to change that with very little effort - but concerted and thought out effort.
-
Now say what you really think Thermomixer ;D ;D ;D I'm with you all the way, you are certainly doing your bit to bolster the image of the TMX as are us owners & demonstrators when we get the opportunity.
-
I certainly agree with all the earlier comments. I was buying some rye seeds a couple of days ago and saying that I was making bread and the manager said 'have you got one of those thermo things?'. It was nice to hear that.
A couple of the forums that I occasionally follow have been very negative. As you say, they need to see them in action.
The friends we had round yesterday are even thinking about it and they are pensioners. The had seen it many times before but I think the easo of making soup and then the Master Chef sabayon won them over.
-
i tried to explain on another forum that you couldn't understand it or judge it without seeing it (as in you couldn't appreciate its value and what it does) and just got howled down and told i was on my high horse etc. i won't go and argue it again, there's just no point with people like that.
-
That sounds like the forum I'm thinking of Karen. I hardly go on there anymore.
-
It's such a shame people are ready to bag the TM31 without seeing it in action. Thank you to everyone on the forum for spreading the word about the wonderful TM! I really appreciate the effort that you put into the forum. I've had a couple of customers who have decided to buy a TM31 after reading the forum.
Happy cooking everyone!

How many people out there do you think would get so emotionally attached to their "other" kitchen appliances (I'm not game to name a brand after noticing my earlier post was deleted - I think for mentioning 2 internet providers?? - SORRY!!!).
I haven't heard of anyone being so passionate about their mixer, food processor, grill etc. And here we are - an extremely passionate group about our Thermies. Perhaps because we call all share first hand how much it has really changed our lives!
-
hmm i didn't notice any posts being deleted (and haven't been told to delete any like that either) but i totally agree. i have said that before on other sites. people are not this passionate about any other kitchen appliance! (i think half the KA attraction is the funky look and people do love them, but not as passionately as the tmx)
-
As I mentioned on a different forum I wonder how many KA fans would think about packing it - & all it's attachments - up & taking it on holiday with them like I am with my TM next week?????
-

Was that on this forum? Don't know of any posts being deleted- except those pron sites you posted ;) ;) (joking) - do you mean another forum?? I had posts deleted by people on another forum who didn't like me posting a recipe before they had - my crumpets were deleted - but google's search engine still thinks they should be there !!
-
janie, i meant to take mine last weekend - would have made life soooo much easier! but dh had packed the car without and there wasn't room. i wish i had though.
-
Poor Karen....
Thelma & I are going to the Sunshine Coast - does that make me Louise for the trip??? :)

lol please stay away from any cliffs! :o ;)

This forum consumes too much time already - so there's no way I'd be game to go onto another one. Nope was this one - was in response to your comments Thermomixer about the consultants not being on the MC forum ready to pump up the TMX. (unless you made the comment under another topic??). I'd simply not planned ahead very well and hadn't registered. Then this PC wasn't going to co-operate and the internet connection kept crashing - across 2 providers.
Doesn't matter anyway. I've had a few other posts disappear too on other subjects.
-
bizarre, maybe it's your system? telling you something ;) lol
-
One day I'll get the hint I'm not wanted... LOL
-
I love you ILB :-* :-*

That would be the one! Oops - now where is that red faced emoticon??? ??? ??? Wrong topic! Silly old me.
Thank you for all your trouble looking for it! It hadn't really worried me - thought it might have been an "politically incorrect" post using brand names... But it's nice to know I'm loved - awwww!! ;) :-* :-* :-*
Can I use the excuse that I have been up since 4.30 this morning when Miss 3 wet her bed then refused to go back to sleep...??? >:( >:(
-
i'm jealous you have a 3yo who goes to bed without a pull up!
-
She's pretty good actually. After about a week of wearing knickers during the day she suddenly decided that she was going to wear knickers to bed - she is as head strong as both her parents so it was her way or the highway!! LOL. The only time we run into problems (like last night) is when she has fallen asleep in the car on the way home. She spends Wednesdays with Mum, so we stay there for dinner (love Wed nights!!!) then come home. Usually I remember to put a night time nappy on her when that happens as it usually ends in disaster - but got distracted with the heater that has decided to pack it in - so we're having frosts and no heater!! The "good" news (NOT) is that I have to wait till Monday :o :o before they'll fix it. >:( >:(
-
i'm jealous you have a 3yo who goes to bed without a pull up!
OK, pull-apart loaves, yeah, got that, .. push-ups - yuk, but yeah, .. pull-ups .... no you've lost me now. ;) ;)
Can't wait til the grandson is old enough to have sleep overs !!!! so he can wet the bed - noiiiiiice!!!
:-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
Boy, I'm a great liar too !! :o :o :o
-
oh no, i would die without my heater! i have had some hormonal thing going on since the birth of #3 which meant i didn't feel the cold at all the past few years but it's all worn off this year - i am dying of frostbite this year!
we have one 4yo night trained and the 3yo is close but the 6yo is still al ong way away from it lol
thermomixer perhaps you'd better wait til he is 10 or so then? ;)
-
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Just you wait Thermomixer ;)
And yes - pull up nappies for the "big" boys and girls...
oh no, i would die without my heater! i have had some hormonal thing going on since the birth of #3 which meant i didn't feel the cold at all the past few years but it's all worn off this year - i am dying of frostbite this year!
I am a cold frog at night. Last night I had the flanellette pj's, a long sleeve shirt under that, explorer socks, plus all the blankets and throws that I could find to throw over my woolen doona and woolen underlay.... :-))
Have been holding off purchasing an electric blanket but this might just push me to the edge of no return....
-
Yes, get yourself an electric blanket ILB then you can go to bed early with a good book (or a laptop maybe??) Or sit under a blanket with some heat bags to watch TV. Or move back in with Mum until the heater is fixed!!!! Roll on Monday aye??
-
Good idea Judy. Think I'll go shopping tomorrow morning!
Mum's bringing in a spare heater she has in the morning and tonight I think i'll run a hot bath, have a cuppa and then rug up to go to bed ;)
-
we LOVE our wheatbags, i seriously can't sleep without mine to warm up my feet!
-
YAY!! Julie's through. Sorry to the serious foodies out there - but I like that 'comfort' food and can perhaps relate to her disorganisation, panic, etc.
we LOVE our wheatbags, i seriously can't sleep without mine to warm up my feet!
I LOVE YOU KAREN!!! I forgot - I do have a wheat bag! Wonder if I could make MUCH bigger - then could snuggle up to it... ;) :D :D But I will dust off the old one and warm it up before hopping into bed. *** cough*** *** cough****
-
mine is huge - for my size 12 feet LOL!! (actually mum originally made it for my lower back ;)) glad to help, sleep well!
-
Hmmm think the universe is trying to tell me something - this subject doesn't pop up in my unread or unread replies...
-
Go Julie - think she is most committed. Really can;t believe the dishes that they have tried making in the last week or so.
Why not do something that takes 20 minutes or so - salmon cooks quickly, looks good and has so many combinations that are photogenic.
I love beef cheeks and pigs' trotters - but one recipe calls for the beef cheeks to be cooked for 40 hours - not in 3 hours.
Hmmm think the universe is trying to tell me something - this subject doesn't pop up in my unread or unread replies...
Check the Additional Options in Post reply window - is the Notify Me of Replies box ticked ??
-
:D :D :D Yay! Julie and Poh are through. (tears of Joy)
I'd still be interested to read Chris's " Nose to tail - Stout to Ale" Great name for a cookbook and I love cooking with beer and wine. I love Julie's honesty with her emotions and her cooking. Imagine if on the appliance shelf in the MasterChef kitchen they had the TM31. Maybe they wouldn't be so rushed with things having to hand stir and watch everything???
Go Po! I wish they both could win :(
-

Thanks Thermomixer - last night it was just this topic that gave up. It had been appearing on the unread list - then stopped appearing there.... maybe the cold was freezing my brain also ??? ???
-
I'm hoping Julie will win. I love her 'homely' thoughts. It will be interesting to see what Chris has to say in the media about his leaving.
-
Did anyone think that they would like the tomato dessert? I think that it goes better with yoghurt or vanilla ice cream.
It is worth trying -trust me. It is not that fiddly.
-
I've missed the last couple of episodes and will miss out on tomorrow nights Grand Finale >:(
-
You don't have to ILB - just go to the MC website & watch it online with catch up TV. I have been very busy last couple of days so am just checking "our" forum here before toddling over there to watch friday nights episode. I put the headphones in & pretend I am working!!! ;D
-
Go Julie - think she is most committed. Really can;t believe the dishes that they have tried making in the last week or so.
Well, she won, ...... hopefully Thermomix will be the biggest winner.

So glad Julie won, but also sad that Poh didn't. They both did so very well tonight. I don't cry at sad movies or anything like that (hard hearted cow that I am) but I sooked my eyes out at the end of tonights show :)

I am a total sop - I cry at the opening music to movies I think might be sad!! My son even rang me tonight to say he was glad "my mate" won & I answered the phone saying "of course I'm in tears!!!"

arrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I knew I shouldnt have visited this thread while I was STILL watching Masterchef in Perth!!!!

I deliberately didn't come any where near my computer as I knew that would happen!! Glad that Julie won though ;D

Sorry Ann, I was half watching and half catching up with emails etc and didn't think that anybody in WA would be on their computers.
I found out in the afternoon, so it was not really a surprise.
-
I'm also glad Julie won. DD got on the computer to see sho won before we watched it, I think I enjoyed it not stressing out over who won. I'm pretty hard hearted at movies too, but even I got teary when the families came in . I noticed that Gary got teary too, saying to Julie-"look what you've done to me!" :'( :'(

Soooooo glad Julie won!! Would buy her book in a heart beat. So which one of the Brissy consultants will be visiting her with the TMX?? ;)
-
:D :D :D Yay! Julie and Poh are through. (tears of Joy)
I'd still be interested to read Chris's " Nose to tail - Stout to Ale" Great name for a cookbook and I love cooking with beer and wine. I love Julie's honesty with her emotions and her cooking. Imagine if on the appliance shelf in the MasterChef kitchen they had the TM31. Maybe they wouldn't be so rushed with things having to hand stir and watch everything???
Go Po! I wish they both could win :(
That's interesting - I didn't realise that they didn't. They've had the TM in the UK Masterchef for a while now. I think that quite a few of the contestants had asked to have access to one, and that's how it came in ... not completely sure, though. It's one of the things which helps its exposure here, apparently (have to be honest that I hardly ever watch telly). It isn't referred to, really, but it is regularly used in the background, so that people gradually become aware of it, and what it's doing.
-
Maybe if we all suggest to CH10 that they could have it on the shelf for the Celebrity Masterchef, kids Masterchef and next years Masterchef?? It'd be really cool if TM31 became as recognisable the kenwood or the Kitchenaid.
-
I am sure Grace & everyone is working as hard as they can to make it happen............
-
its a amazing the excitement that having the tmx on MC has created. I've just heard about a guest at an up-coming demo is hanging out to see it after seeing it appear on MC. Apparently she is quiet excited now. That's just one story - so there must be heaps of others out there.
-
i was just googling thermomix links and blogs to update the list on my blog, and came across one or a few (cna't quite remember) complaining about using the thermomix because 'the ordinary person' didn't have one and coudn't afford it. :-))
-
Were they from the masterchef forum Karen? That's the place Thermomixer & I went into bat for them. It was us two & Bimby Queen against the world. (I am mojosgirl on that one!).
It was really disappointing as Thermomixer said that not more consultants & clients went in to help it. If I had thought of Karens comment about it costing 35c a day before now I would have put that in - thats about 2 bob isn't it??
-
More for WA viewers - Masterchef is using Thermomix tonight - not sure what they will cook/use it for, but I was told that it was going to be on but it was a BIG secret for some reason !!!
You will be able to see it on the web.
-
I did see the Thermomix on Master Chef last night, it was quick though. George used it when he was making White chocolate cannelloni with strawberry soup. :)
-
I had to laugh tonight. My 8 year old was watching Masterchef and was all excited calling me in to the lounge "Mummy they have a Thermomix in the restaurant, I saw a thermomix!". It was in Georges restaurant The Press Club.
-
LOL - MrsT did the same thing. She wants to go to the Press Club for a meal now!
-
not sure how relaxing the meal would be tho with Georgie screaming his head off in the kitchen :D
did tell me DH that I wouldn't mind going to a "decent restaurant" for once instead of a cafe, and he said "why? the food is better at home?"
:-)) aha that so? then i'm not cooking anymore... :D
-
We're going tonight for a special dinner - sure that the Masterchef team won't be there - I hope.
had lunch with Maggie Beer, Stephanie Alexander & Alla Wolf-Tasker yesterday - poor Bimby neglected :( :(
-
There you go, name dropping again ;D ;D ;D Lucky you TMX-er, do they have a TMX?
-
LOL - there were only another 200 people at lunch and none of them have a TMX, although Amanda can tell you that Maggie should have had one to use on Cook & Chef.
-
Maggie would have been too terrified to use it! She's an old fashioned gal.
But, I'm sure with lots of practice and encouragement, she'd just love it.
Imagine...lunch with Maggie Beer....AND Stephanie Alexander..... (http://www.thedishforum.com/smilies/happy-clapping/bounceforjoy.gif)

Did you see it tonight in Hestons kitchen??
Some magical cooking going on there, but snails porridge?? I think not:(
-
AND they even called it a Thermomix!!! :o :o :o
-

Yes, I noticed that.....no high speed blender reference this time 8)
-
I didn't realise the snail porridge had snails in until the end when I saw them serving it, drrr. I enjoyed last nights episode (actually remembered to watch it). I loved the 'sand' they had for the beach.
I can't stand all the faces Joanne (I think) pulls.
-
Bummer I missed it! Will try to watch it online tonight. Love watching Hestons work but don't think I'd be game to eat anything... :-X
-
Snail porridge sounds just fine to me :-)) :-)) :-)) Missed it, but will go online.
-
If only I could go to Heston's restaurant. I would probably have to mortgage the house but it might be worth it
Gretchen.
-
And have you read this. Good on Grace.

I'm sure you'd love his sweetmeats - meat pastes/pates made to look like fruit !

Oh I would love it all.

Snap - I am sure I would love it all, but MrsT doesn't like him much :(

How offal. LOL!
-
LOL indeed Gerty. MrsT would not have lasted the liverwurst challenge !!
I trialled about 4 dishes with chicken and beef liver last year over 2 weeks and she threw in the towel (read chucked a wobbly).
She would probably tell me to go on my own, ........ while she goes and buys some clothes, handbags, shoes, ... :o :o :o
-
How about some slow cooked beef cheeks. Bet she would never know. :-)) :-))
Gert
-
wow what an impact a tv show can make! great article gertbysea and so nice to the thermomix on telly again
-
Ooh, I'll go with Mrs T buying the handbags, shoes etc.
Thanks for the info re Coles Gretchen. I have some Wesfarmers shares so I hope it keeps up.
I loved the 'eggs' on Masterchef last night. I'd love to try it. I can just imagine friends looking at a boiled egg for sweets.
-
I have only just read that about Coles, interesting indeed. Thanks Gretchen (and Cookies comment which drew me back to it). Have printed it out for DD2 and it looks like Grandma has to start getting 2 year old GS into the kitchen as I did with GD when she was a tot.
-
Interesting reading. I'm certainly glad people are getting into cooking, but, I shake my head at people's sheep-like behaviour. You know, "Wow, everyone's into Masterchef and cooking, I'd better do it too..duh...I can't think for myself...baaaaaaa"
-

I really appreciated my MIL getting my boys into the kitchen. She is a great cook & had the time to spend many hours with them. They both loved it. DS2 (11) still loves to cook with grandma.

MJ they are called sheeple!!! I killed myself laughing the first time I heard this term but it is so true :D :D
-
I haven't heard that term before Kathryn. I need to get out more. :P
-
i have to agree, i guess it seems fashionable in a way to cook nice food cause of masterchef..... i never needed a tv program to make me appreciate great food. people are like this with anything made to look trendy on telly, sheeple is a great way to describe it!!
apparently tm is getting a big writeup in the new masterchef magazine for july, i shall be interested to see if does our beaut machine justice!
-
I only just heard the sheeple term in the last couple of years but find it is very apt
I was just going back through my emails (today has been a day in the office :() and was going to post here Em that the write up was in next months mag - waiting with baited breath ;)
-
"Sheeple" I love it!! Should be spelled, 'sheople', but then, people wouldn't get it. :P
-
MJ I guess we could spell it both ways, depending on who we are speaking about.
Clever sheep that go straight through the gate instead of running round in circles are clever so they are sheople.
People who follow everything supposedly like a sheep are sheeple.
Actually that sets me thinking about following like a sheep, they certainly don't follow when going through gates. But then I guess they do when they are going to have a drink and are walking along their little sheep pads. OOh I think I had better stop thinking and shut up.
What a lot of nonsense I have just bored you with, time to go and do some housework. :P :P :P :) :)
-
lol Cookie
though I must add that if being sheeple is going to make them all want to buy a Thermomix, then as a consultant, GO FOR IT I say ;D ;D ;D
-
lol faffa i was gonna say the same thing!! ; :D
-
How about some slow cooked beef cheeks. Bet she would never know. :-)) :-))
Gert
LOL - she actually likes beef cheeks - they look like normal meat. She had some on Wed night at a specail dinner with risotto milanese. But innards are out!
-
Thermomix has got a few mentions on Master chef, Claire actually called it by it name last week. The Saturday West Australian actually said " to cook like a master chef you need a thermomix" Great news for consultants should boost sales???
