Title: Newbie to the forum
Post by: Sand71 on February 15, 2011, 09:16:05 am

Hi all,
I'm Sandra and have had my thermomix for a month or so now.  Absolutely loving it and am back to enjoying cooking!  I've tried quite a few recipes in the basic cookbook and am ready for more.  Am especially interested in gluten free recipes as I have a son who has Autism and gluten sets his behaviour right off. 
Have banned myself from making lemon custard - way too yummy!!  My husband complains that he never gets a chance to try any - I'm sure I've left him some on one or two occasions and he's just missed it?? Maybe????  Both my boys don't like it! What a shame!!!
Looking forward to trying new things - have experimented a little but they've usually been a flop! Serves me right for trying things without really knowing what I'm doing!!! LOL!
Now off to find a carbonara recipe...

Welcome, Sandra.  You're in for a ball visiting this forum, it's a great place. 

It's a shame about the flops, but, as you will read as you go through the various threads, many flops can be turned around into something different that is a real hit - i.e. jam that doesn't set becomes a dessert syrup, etc.

I totally agree about the lemon custard, isn't it just the best thing - and so easy!!

Have you tried any of the various mayonnaise recipes yet - great time for experimenting with these whilst we still have the summer weather.

Welcome Sandra. I think you should make your DH some chocolate custard. Just leave the lemon out and at the end add 50g of  your favourite Lindt chocolate and stir through until it's melted. Yum.

Welcome to the forum Sandra. Flops and all, sounds like you are enjoying yourself. There are great recipes on this forum so have a go at some of them and when your confidence is up, then start doing your own conversions.
