Title: Hi from René in Denmark
Post by: René on April 04, 2009, 10:20:57 pm
Hi all,

Good to find this forum.

I'm a "retired" chef from Denmark (here the TM are never used by other than restaurants), where it's one of the most important machines in my kitchen :)

Welcome Rene
I would love to hear the sort of things that chefs use the Thermomix for. Imagine it mainly being used in restaurants in Denmark.

Welcome René, great to have Dane in our midst.

I thought that it might have been René Redzepi, until I saw that you'd retired  ;) ;).  Don't think he'll be retiring for some time  ;D ;D ;D.

Look forward to some food from your part of the world.

Here in Denmark the Thermomix are often sold as a sidekick to the PacoJet, so most often it are used for a Creme Anglaise (the basice ice cream custard)

It was the same for me; so the THX was quite underrated when it met it the first time - and what a surprise; it's a small miracle! :)

Hehe; I have nod tried it, but it should be nice :)

Make a stiff custard and add some more flour, so it bakes better.

There are a puff pastry recipe on the THX floating around; so use that recipe, use only cold butter as the fat and also add some sugar.

Roll the pastry out and cut in squares, place a dollop of custard on each (perhaps also a small dollop of jam), fold in the corners and let it raise slightly

Bake at 200 degrees celcius until light golden, let it colol and drissle with white sugar frosting

That should be it :D

Well neigther my famous name-brother or I have retired for real (i'm only 44) - I have retired from the job as chef and are focusing on some large software projects, and are loving the THX in my spare-time.
