we're have chicken cacciatore risotto tonight
Hey, been using my thermie baby since July!! I love it!! Were also having risotto tonight. Mine is usually just any veggie that I can find. I got mushies yesterday and have craved zucchini for the last trimester, the pumpkin looks like it won't last so I'll add tht!! We dnt eat meat cause if health reasons for hubby, but I think I'll add a bit of chicken for the kids. Dd2 is sick and I LOVE a quick risotto!!

usually several times a day, today was twice
I'm just about to make a late dinner. DH is away so I can have risotto.
What recipe books do people have? I have the EDC, GF, Indian and the Traveling with TMX one. The last one isnt much good but the other 3 are good. I am thinking about getting My Way of Cooking, but it's $60 i think. Has anyone got it/used it? What do you think?
I've just got the EDC I get all recipes frm the net, the price of the books ate a bit of a crock IMO. I think they aren't the best recipes in the EDC, I find myself adapting them etc... I need to start a blog I recon...
So I'm not only one obsessed.. I hope my electricity bill doesn't go up toooo much...

I have my varoma demo this morning. Am looking forward to it - the food sounds so yummy! We'll be getting the varoma cookbook too, which will be good as I've barely used the varoma so far
Mine's not for a few weeks. The menu for it looks good.
I actually took a bunch of cookbooks to bed to read last night :) i've borrowed a le cruset dutch oven from Mum and want to use it tonight. I figure it's just like a slow cooker, yes? I want to make a chicken casserole. TMX will be used for herbs & spices and for making mash.
Big cookup weekend this weekend :)
I read on the forum about doing a roast in the Varoma. We shall give that a go at some stage. You brown it first. Apparently it comes out really tender.
btw - the chicken casserole was so yummy. I roasted and ground the spices with fresh herbs and made a sauce in the TMX then cooked in the oven. So yum. We couldnt get the timing right on steaming vegies in the Varoma, so DH thinks we should just do on the stove.
I am feeling blah so it's fish & chips for dinner tonight. I do want to try some baking over the weekend. I now want to try GF sweet rolls or cinnamon scrolls. I've been researching all day but not made anything yet, so that can be tomorrow's job.
Have people seen the Thermomix app that is out on Monday? Apparently it is the recipes from My Way of Cooking, which I've just ordered :) I'm interested in the shopping list/meal planner part of it.
What are people cooking up this weekend?
Sterla - how did the demo go?
The demo went really well - the food was so yummy and it made so much we had the leftovers for tea and lunch the next day. We got the Full Steam Ahead cookbook which looks okay.
We are having beef rendang for tea tonight for my dad's birthday. DH has also made naan bread to go with it. Can't wait to have it - smells really good!
How can you make a risotto taste like cr@p?!?? MAN!!!!! my risotto SUC&ed!!!! Going to make some condensed milk tonight with a secret recipe I've developed then turn it into caramel slice, also my own recipe... I can't wait to get another computer, ours is stuffed so have to use my iPhone for everything.

Just saw the email about the app... very excited! Tashybabe can you cancel your order of the physical cookbook?
I'd really like to be able to add our own recipes to the app, but I can't see whether or not this is possible. Any ideas?
We make our own chai lattes in TMX with milk and chai powder (cheating, I know, but atm don't have time to make completely from scratch although we have done it before and it's delicious!). So much cheaper than the cafes!
I'm happy to still get the cookbook. I like having pages to turn and be able to read without squinting at the phone. Very old school of me, I know :) i dont know if you can add recipes. I'd like to be able to add comments or adjustments.
Just watched Mum make bolognase. She puts 1kg in instead of the 400gm suggested in the EDC. Turned out much better. The EDC really does put too much liquid into things. We did a big cook up last weekend so I dont need to make anything. I feel like doing some thera-baking though. I will see tomorrow.
tash i use 500g of mince for spag bol, but i find it needs more liquid :lol:
Tashybaby I totally get it about wanting the real book to look at - for me the cookbooks are just too dear! I think you can do adjustments, but not clear on the adding recipes.
I agree about too much liquid in things!
Belfie - is it you who has the egg intolerance? I just saw this post on Fb by Quirky Cooking as possible egg substitutes:
1 Tblspn milled linseeds or chia seeds and 3 tbsp water = 1 egg; 1 banana mashed = 1 egg (in cakes); 3 Tblspns nut butter = 1 egg; 1/4 cup applesauce = 1 egg. Mum uses golden syrup instead of egg in baking too, which works well. For making the custard without egg, add a banana broken into quarters after 4mins of cooking time & add a bit more flour/cornflour.
I made GF bread from her site yesterday and it's so yummy. Really heavy though so I dont need much. There's enough dough for 4 small loaves and you can leave it in the fridge for up to a week and bake as you need. Though I'm doing to try and wean myself off carbs again.....says she who is about to use left over pancake mix for dinner :)
Who had a recipe for spreadable butter? i've promised DH I'll make some.
