Easter / Re: Silk Dyed Easter Eggs

Thanks for alerting me to this recipe CC. I did find a Greek recipe for dying using this method and I didn't understand it until I saw these pictures. Thanks again.

Just wondering if anyone has dyed (sp?) red eggs in Thermomix?

I have used the full measure in the past too and I don't think it's so bad for some recipes but in this case, there are only two ingredients in the recipe and I used double the amount of 1 ingredient, so it would affect it.

Anyway, I decided to try Helene's recipe this time and it was delicious!! Definitely want to make this again as it tastes so nice once refrigerated. Didn't like it warm though. The cream makes it! It is a bit fiddly trying to scrape out all the bits of ricotta from the nut milk bag so as none goes to waste....especially when the bag is hot! Next time I would also leave it for an extra 10 minutes to drain as I found there was still a fair amount of liquid in it.

Here is a photo before refrigeration:

I didn't. I wasn't really hungry to have dinner but thought I'd make this. I had some of it and the rest is in the fridge. Snacking made me full tonight.

I was a little impatient and decided to make it tonight. It only makes a small bowlful and I can't say I was too impressed with it on its own but it was nice with ricotta on top.

I only had a 250g bag of baby spinach and I used the ricotta I made earlier today using Super Kitchen Machine's blog recipe.

Here is a photo:

Am thinking of making this very soon but not sure what kind of meal it would go with. Any suggestions?

Sorry I didn't explain properly JD. Apparently when a recipe refers to 1 MC ....it means up to the line ...so only 50mL whereas I assumed 1 MC = 100ml ....the full amount.

Ok, so after talking to a colleague the other day she explained to me that one MC is up to the line so when I made the ricotta from RC, I had actually used 4 MC's   ???

Anyway, defrosting another lot of 2L of milk and would like to try Helene's recipe this time. I will have some cream left over from a recipe but the whipping cream which I think is 35% cream and this recipe asks for light cream. Do you think it will still work?

No. 2. My favourite recipe would have to be the chicken and mango salad for summer. Love the flavour combination.

Judy I saw both those recipes but the one on RC was the only one I had all ingredients for.

Gert - It's more as a caution (well hubby is a little over cautious) and also I get food poisioning easily. As for the texture, it looks like ricotta, crumbly type once refrigerated (I think mine might have seized up a little too much) and it's hard to describe the taste since it didn't quite work out to plan.  It made about 400mL.

I decided to go ahead with making ricotta as it was on my 'to make one day' list and I had forgotten about it. I used the recipe from Recipe Community which turned out ok. I love how simple it is and only 2 ingredients however the measurements were either 2 MC's or 1/2 cup which are not the same thing. I went for the larger amount and I think that's what affected the texture of the final product once refrigerated. I think next time I will use 1 MC's worth.

Cookie - I realise you can freeze milk but I already have 2 x 2L bottles frozen as I had accidentally bought too many when shopping online.

Gert - I had A2 milk as I don't think we have jersey cow milk....at least not that cheap and I do the smell test too for when milk is past expiry but I still ditch after 2-3 days.

I have 2L of milk that will expire in the next few days so I was after recipes that use a lot of milk.....any ideas? Preferably with common everyday ingredients.

Chit Chat / Re: Tagines
« on: April 07, 2014, 11:23:03 am »
We have an Emile Henry Tagine and it was great when we used it to make a Moroccan Chicken Tagine. Can't compare it to a slow cooker as I don't have one but the tagine definitely makes the food melt-in-your-mouth tender. We haven't used it since having children but only last week I tagged some recipes I want to try this winter so I'll be bringing it out soon. We thought of doing a cooking class for it but then I found similar similar recipes which I might try instead as we can't really afford to go on this class.

So I realised I actually have tapioca starch (from a recipe I have yet to make that I was supposed to make months ago).....is that the same thing as Tapioca flour?

Love your photo by the way and the presentation.
