Title: Hellenic greetings
Post by: cooky on April 15, 2009, 12:08:16 pm
Hi everybody,
My mother has been a loyal Thermomix customer for 25 years, and now this is my turn to become such one :o :-:
I dropped by to say 'Hi", or "Salut!", or "hola!" or "привет!" or "γεια σας" and I'll come back as soon as I have something special to add (or ask) ;D

Thank you all ;D

Please, allow me some time to get familiar with my new Thermomix, and I'll definately connect the greek recipes with it 8)

I have already cooked a traditional of Easter greek cake, called "tsureki" (bun, brioche) and it is perfect. I found the recipe in Thermo's book of recipes ^^

There:

Welcome cooky! Did you bake this wonderful brioche? The thermomix is wonderful for yeast doughs, I remember the before and the after and I have never baked so much and saved so much momeny on brioches, pizza dough, bread.
It a wondermachine.
I am surprised that the Thermomix has been for sale in Greece for so long. I live in Portugal in the southern Algarve and here its only been a few years (maybe 10 max).

This is not my brioche (I haven't pictured it), yet mine is similar to this one ;D

And yes, it 's been sold for many years in Greece. I remember eating foods cooked by Thermomix since I was a child ;D

Aren't you lucky. I had no idea what a TM was until 3 years ago!  And my start was very unfortunate so I am still very unsure and insecure when it comes to cooking meals - all the rest is easy! I am taking babysteps.

Hey you shouldn't worry! One step at a time ;D
Noone ever started from the finish line ::)
After all the recipes that come with Thermomix are so well-patterned, that it's difficult to fail many consecutive times ;)

I think I worry too much! The portuguese recipe book is good and I have the german also.
All will be well.

Hi,
today I tried to prepare the kuru yeast of 'tyropitakia' (that is little cheese pies) with thx. In a few (< 10') minutes it was ready. It's just that I didn't weight the flour I used, so I won't post the recipe yet.
Here they are
