I guess i just introduced myself without realizing it! I am a Thermomix devotee and consultant from Perth W.A.. I have had my machine now for about 3 years. I am also a naturopath and I love the way I can prepare foods that preserve nutritional values in  foods and also make creative cuisine possible. I have always been fascinated by unusual ingredients and recipes but now I can make things easily that I never used to bother with - things like breads, cakes, chutneys etc.
I recently made the raw apple cake which is in the Vegetarian cookbook and it was sensational - with a dollop of natural yoghurt and slices of banana and a dribble of maple syrup on top it is dessert to die for!
I am looking for a tried and tested asian style sauce or dressing for steamed fish, rice and vegetables if anyone has invented one. I will experimant too and let you know how it goes.

Toni, I have looked for this recipe in my book and cannot find it - or do you mean the apple pie on page 122?

Or perhaps the apple cake/pie from the raw booklet?  :)

Hi Toni, welcome to the forum.

What kind of Asian sauce do you want?   

I've made a peanut sambal or sauce for Gado Gado salad in the TMX but it definitely has a pronounced peanut flavor and I doubt you would want that on fish but it is terrific on steamed vegetables and I love it on fried potatoes.

Welcome Toni!  I have a cashew satay sauce - not sure if that's what you're looking for, but it's really yummy on fish, chicken or steamed or stir-fried veges. It's here: http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com/2009/02/baked-chicken-with-cashew-satay-sauce.html (http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com/2009/02/baked-chicken-with-cashew-satay-sauce.html) You can just warm it a little to serve it - it doesn't have to be cooked.  :)

Welcome Toni! I also have an asian inspired sauce that I use for fish. I had fish done this way at a Malay Restaurant and came home and copied it as best I could. I have made it for years, so time to drag it out again. It wasn't made for the TMX, so I'll have to experiment. It is steamed, so should work well.
