Oh funny, I've had a really quick flick through a few of the recipes and here's a couple of things that made me giggle...
3 smashed bananas ... must be my sense of humour - but was wondering what those poor bananas were drinking to get smashed
black, brown and white chocolate... guess that covers all of the colours
3/4 bowl cocoa -  ???
add milk to thicken the mixture at the end...  ???

Wonder who taste tested the recipes once they were done...and if they are still alive to give the final verdict!

I am really looking forward to sitting down and reading this through.
 Cheers,
Nikki.

Would love to see the recipes for this one. RosieB I'll PM you.

I made this with bought puff pastry as well the other day (left it too late to make the real one) and like Judy I think I should have had 2 sheets of pastry, but YUM! It was sooooo tasty. (I did have home grown grape tomatoes, so I reckon that helped)
Even the leftovers were good the next day...soggy pastry and all!  ;D

Hi Auds,
I don't think you could double the recipe as it won't all fit in the TM bowl.
I freeze risotto as I love mushroom risotto and no-one else does, so I make a batch and freeze just for me. No complaints from me when I've pulled it out of the freezer and reheated it!
Cheers,
Nikki.

I've made this a few times and love the flavours that get right into the chicken from the stock. Sooo yummy.
Although after my first effort I had to make sure i bought a smaller chicken as the first had its neck poking out through the hole in the lid.  :o
The stock I have also used to baste onto meat that is on the rotisserie (sp?) on the bbq. Very tasty.

I made a heap of these in the mini muffin trays for a family do over the weekend and they were the first things to go. Very yummy and being little - they just seemed to disappear in one bite. The kids loved them.
Tasty, I had the same thing with the cinnamon stick and the lemon peel, but strained it through a seive before I poured the mix into the pastry.
Be nice as a dessert made in the small tart/flan (?) dishes I have.

We love this mayo, sooooo yummy! DD smothered it on a potato salad she made for tea the other day and also yummo on a plain old tossed salad.
Thumbs up Aileen!

I tried this and it was great! Plus better than the other caramel custard recipe I have.
Thanks!

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Re: Granulated Garlic

Thank you for the ideas faffa  :)
I have found out it would be fresh garlic.
Chopping it in the TM would be so much easier than by hand. 
I bought a heap of garlic from the Italians on the road side last weekend in the Valley, so should give it a go myself.

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Granulated Garlic
« on: January 12, 2012, 08:35:48 am »
I have just had a question about making Granulated Garlic.
Can it be done in the Thermomix?
At this stage I don't know if the garlic is fresh or dried, will update this when I know.
I hope there is someone out there in this wonderful forum that will come up with a miraculous answer for me!  ;D
I also hope I've asked this in the right spot...apologies if I have it wrong.
cheers,
Nikki.

Cookie - not sure to be honest! Have a look at their web site would be the best bet and see if they do have a "shop". Bit of a hike for me to get to Claremont, so much easier to shop online.
Means I can do it in the afternoon and have a quiet beer while I browse ;D  and not have to worry about parking, shop assistants with attitude and wonky trolleys with DD "driving" ... right into the back of my heels! (her last effort saw me bleeding, seeing stars and trying really hard not to cry!)

I get a lot of my 'dry food'  from 2brothersonline. I think they are in the Claremont area, not certain. They are great, have heaps of stuff (not too sure about the turtle beans though) that you can buy by the kilo, or less. Their postage is truly amazing (just paid $3.50 for 12kgs to be sent to me, I also just paid $8.50 to send a springform tin to a friend here in Perth...wouldn't have made a kilo ???) Their turn around from order to receiving it has been great too - usually only 3 or 4 days. Hope that helps. :)

I must try this recipe as the "Caramel Custard" recipe I have calls for 120g butter  :o and 120g brown sugar, and even though it is good (really really good) and the whole family love it, I try not to make it too often with all that butter. :( I'll make this tonight and see what the reaction is. But seeing as we don't have dessert very often I think they'll be happy!

Brilliant idea, might have to make that a holiday job for the kids!

DD and I made this tonight (after I had to ask her if I could look at her iPod in Woollies today ...I got the  :-)) :-)) :-)) and I had to remind her that I paid for the app! )

Anyway... YUMMO! Even the non-salad eater (hubby) loved it.

Sadly - no leftovers... :(
