Title: Hi! I'm an Australian!
Post by: Shieldsy on July 04, 2015, 02:47:47 am

Hi,

My name is David. I'm 22 and I live in Australia. I've just started my PhD in Immunology, which I work (loosely) from 9-5 (often my experiments run overtime so I'm there late or on weekends!). I'm part of a choir that rehearses weekly, and I work at a functions centre on Friday/Saturday nights to supplement my income! I bought my TM5 earlier this year, inspired by my late sister's cooking in her TM31. I love to cook but I don't often have time to cook what I'd like to.

I'm posting here because it seems like this forum has a bit more activity than the Australian forum :D and I need good recipes haha

Welcome to the Forum David. Plenty of good quick recipes here. You might like to try Quirky Jo's Chicken and Brown Rice soup which is a meal in a bowl.

Hello David and a warm welcome to the forum. You will find many tried and true meals on here. Read the reviews before you cook so that you won't make the mistakes others have. Not that we make too many, but sometimes we do little adaptions. This recipe is one of my favourites and it is all cooked in the thermomix. http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5526.0
Check out the main meals section and the all in one meals.
If you decide to keep with the forum you will find "What's for Dinner?" In the Chit Chat section inspirational for meals too.
