Recipe Requests / Looking for a Roast Beef and Silverside recipe that works in the Thermomix
« on: September 30, 2013, 11:04:19 am »
I made a silverside and while the recipe itself smelled awesome in the kitchen (is the Breville crockpot recipe), the silverside (corned beef) came out a beautiful pink; could only be enjoyed by slicing it very finely; otherwise the meat was chewy.

I did not have to throw it out; as minimizing food wastage I am passionate about

Being a newbie, it is always great to ask for help and obtain first hand knowledge...

Thank you in advance with any suggestions and specific links will be appreciated too! :)

Cheers! Joanne

Sugarless variation coming soon via blog post by me

Is GREAT that in bringing things back to the basics, the Thermomix reinforces "A Life of Healthy" :)

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Taste Tandoori help?
« on: September 11, 2013, 03:38:26 am »
I have posted my question there, but all the ingredients are in the blender and need a quick reply if possible

As I am still learning, doesn't this need to be ground first before cooked?

Thank you!

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Newbie question Tenina Curried Red Lentil Soup
« on: September 03, 2013, 09:38:37 am »
G'day! I tried to find a contact at her set; to no avail today

I have made this soup today is smells amazing; including making my own Curry Power too!

How to get the machine to 120 degrees?

I set for 100 and cooked for a little longer until the red lentils were done.

Anyone? Thank you!

Cheers! Joanne

Introduce Yourself / Newbie from South Australia
« on: August 14, 2013, 10:03:18 am »
G'day! I am VERY new to Thermomix but have been doing A LOT of research, have attended the WONDERFUL Cooking with Varoma (which I shared the experience on my blog)

I had my first Thermomix Play Date (which I also shared) and in September, I will be loaned a Thermomix to see what recipes I can make, create and back based on my specific food lifestyle.

I don't see a lot of recipes that use Xyltiol which is part of my food lifestyle. Stevia is way to sweet for me. Natvia does not break down in most recipes like the company's Xylitol I use.

I will be looking to learn more and sharing my experiences along the way, but would love to see if anyone here uses recipes made with Xylitol. I did see Jo uses it rarely.

I cannot use dates, figs, honey, agar agar as sweeteners. I limit white potato, rice, etc., so it should be a great challenge for me!

Cheers! Joanne
