Title: Hi from Perth!
Post by: caketin on July 05, 2011, 10:53:44 am

I'm eagerly awaiting my new Thermobaby (as I have been calling it at work!) which is due to arrive next Friday! I'm looking forward to having a whole weekend to trial my machine and produce some yummy delights to take into work and show off! If anyone has any suggestions for first recipes to make?

I'm very excited!

If your name is anything of a hint, cakes and biscuits take near no time to mix and cleaning up is a breeze! the torta caprese in the edc is easy and good, and the Luigi's aren't too bad either.

Hi petit4s, welcome to the forum.  If you check out the cake section on the home page, you will find plenty of easy cakes, slices, biscuits etc.  Have a bit of a read, some of the reviews will help you decide where to start.  You've got a few days to prepare yourself for it's arrival so you can print out some recipes, get the ingredients in and be ready to take a few plates of food into work on Monday.  ;) ;)  Have fun.

Hi Caketin and welcome to the forum.Good luck choosing what to cook first,I'm afraid you are spoilt for choice.There are some great biscuit recipes and these would be easily transportable for you to take to work. ;)

Hi Caketin and Welcome, (Love the user name)
  I think cakes, biscuits and slices are the best place to start. The Bimby chocolate cake is so easy as it is throw everthing in and mix then its ready to pour into your Caketin, or they make great muffins as well. The choices are endless. Good luck.

Thanks for the ideas! I'm going to check out the cakes and slices! I can't wait to convert some of my current favourite recipes over so I can use the Thermomix with those as well.

Welcome caketin!  Keep the fridge well stocked for this week-end and plan to have a few friends around:  the TMX will allow you to cook so many dishes in a record time  :)

Welcome Caketin!  I've been struggling to resist baking too many cakes and goodies (so easy to do in the thermomix). I've thought of bringing them all to work to spoil the team, but have a feeling their hips won't thank me :D

What part of Perth are you in?

People at my work do love a good morning tea, luckily for me. We all say we are going on diets but it never eventuates!

I'm from Lockridge. Just me, my hubby & 2 fur children here!

Ohh I haven't been on here for a while!!

I had my delivery demo on Tuesday night which was fantastic, really want to make some more risotto (especially since I can take it to work for lunch the next day!).

I've made tons of soup (Potato & Leek, Cauliflower & Almond, Sugar Snap Pea), Steamed plenty of salmon and tried plenty of different things!

So, you love it, right???

I have owned my TMX for exactly 53 hours and I cannot imagine my life now without it.  I told DH this early this evening.  Then, I thought I had better mention that I could not live with HIM either...  Oops!!!
