I think you put me onto the capsicum & chorizo risotto too! Can you pls tell me all your other faves? Clearly you're good at picking recipes!
Lol tonight we had creamy salami fetticine but I don't think you can have that :(
Apricot risotto is good too
I saw this recipe on FB and had to make it. It's a great example of how easy it is to bake with TMX. I changed a couple of things (of course). I used 2 lemons, added another 50gm of sugar and used GF self-raising flour. I overcooked it a bit but that didnt spoil it. Ate it warm with cream. Yum! I'm thinking of making it with orange as per the recipe and icing with chocolate ganache.
30 second whole orange cake
INGREDIENTS
1 whole orange cut into quarters
225g butter
3 eggs
200g sugar
300g SR flour

Combine orange and butter in TM bowl for 7 seconds speed 8.
Add remaining ingredients and combine for 20 seconds, reverse speed 4.

Ever since I started working full time my poor thermy has been sadly neglected, this thread inspires me to get busy again! :D
I've tried the apricot chicken a few times - its never worked for me. Rice was always underdone! Dunno why!!
L&b - that cake sounds nice! I tried a blueberry muffin recipe today from a girl, a guy, a fur kid (or something like that!). It wasn't that good though - was egg free and could be low or gluten free. I made it with spelt.
I need to make more chicken stock paste - love the stuff.
The cake was nice, but as usual with GF flour, it went hard quickly :( it was still ok warmed up with cream
I need to make vegie & chicken stocks this weekend.
I'm thinking of making chicken stock today. was just reading the recipe again and noticed the notes to do a meat stock paste at the bottom. Has anyone tried that? I'm very keen to give it a shot!
I'm not bothering to make more of the vegie stock, I've just ended up using the chicken stock all the time. Mmm nom nom.
Have been making chocolate custard cos my folks are in town (and it's worth making a batch when more than 1 person can eat it)... oh it's so good. Too good!
I haven't been on BB for agggges but thought I'd come join in the Thermomix chat since I got my thermy a few weeks ago! I am in a bit of a slump though. A few things I've made (mostly out of the EDC) have been disappointing and I guess I'm having a bit of shopper's remorse! I went hunting for some new and exciting recipes last night so am feeling a bit inspired again. Any suggestions on what to make so I can fall in love with thermy again?
Stoked the edc can be a bit bland tbh .
I love quirky cooking blog. Check out her chicken and brown rice soup or her cashew chicken satay . Her lentil bolognaise is great too. Pretty much everything on there is amazing tbh .

Stoked, the EDC is a bit boring. I also struggled at first, especially with the Varoma. Have you had a Varoma demo? It's worth it just for the puddings at the end :)
I found that soups and things in the EDC use too much liquid, but I still use it for simple things. In the last couple of days, I've made stewed rhubarb and strawberries, chocolate custard, pasta sauce (an adaptation of an ammatriciana recipe we found somewhere), pikelets, chicken soup, coleslaw and veggie stock.
Have you made the veggie stock? It's brilliant. I use half the salt. It won't last as long but it's less salty so I prefer it. I don't add onions or mushrooms either.
I follow a number of Thermomix FB pages. The recipe community is great too for inspiration. Otherwise, I take other recipes and attempt to adapt them to the TMX. We use it to steam all our veggies now. Which reminds me, I must buy a salmon steak for dinner tomorrow.
TMX cookbooks at have include:
Indian - it's brilliant
gluten free - good. I mostly use it for the pancake recipe though
Healthy eating - ok. I should try more recipes
meat on the menu - don't think I've ever used it
vegetarian - seem to have lost it.
travelling with TmX - useless. Sold it on eBay.
full steam ahead - used it one or twice
my way of cooking - cant remember when I last looked at it
I normally just get recipes of blogs, FB and the recipe community or TMX forum. Also, DH is a fussy eater, so there's a limit to what we can cook when he's home.
I have every cook book. Including the two new ones perk of being a consultant lol
I will have to make a note of my fave recipes.

I've just been reading through the cookbooks I've barely used. Has anyone made the Swedish meatballs? I just need to make it gluten free. Looks great. I wonder if it's as good as the Ikea version? I just need to get me some lingonberry jam.
Thankyou ladies :) I had a great day cooking wise today. I made the chicken and brown rice soup from the quirky cooking blog and OMG... Yum! I also made the 30 second orange cake, I just added poppyseeds, and also YUM!
Last night I made the butter chicken from the Indian cookbook and it was amazing! I really must get myself a copy... Where is the best place to buy the books?
From your consultant. Ebay is often more expensive and when buying from your consultant your usually supporting a wahm ;)
You can buy them from tmx website but you will pay freight

Oh and if it's the Indian cookbook I have a copy I could sell u ;) I have a pile of them for some reason lol.
I love the naan bread in there!

Hi Everyone,
We are having issues with Dairy for DD, looks like she has a intollerance caused by gastro.
Im just wondering if i can use rice milk as a sub in recipes? has anyone done this?
Does anyone have any good dairy free receipes?
I follow quirky cooking but am looking for some basic ideas to get started.
Thanks!
Crumpet, I haven't used dairy substitutes. Quirky cooking does a lot. Or check out if there's recipes on the Recipe Community. A good site is Eat Nourishing. You'll have to convert to TMX though.
Today in the TMX: boiled eggs for brekky. Then for dinner I made up a kind of lamb stew using a lamb steak (we'd cooked some last night and they weren't much good) diced up, with herbs, spices sauted in white wine, then lamb cooked, then 2 cans of tomato with some left over semi-steamed veggies. I cooked that for about 30min, adding the veggies in the last 10 mins. Then I made a sort of biryani rice from the Meat cookbook. Cooked the rice in chicken stock, with garlic, spices and butter. Ate lamb stew and rice. Quite yum despite the mix of flavours.
I then made white chocolate and coconut custard. I might not have added enough white chocolate, but it's still nice.
Apart from the boiled eggs, all of that was sort of made up :)
Yesterday was chocolate chip cookies (form the Cooking my way but no nuts this time) and apple pie (I adapted a recipe for pastry from this months Delicious magazine for the TM) and served with custard. The boys are demanding more green smoothies so will be doing more of these (also good to keep my Vit.k up with bub due soon!). I use mine every day really.
ETA: you can buy all the cookbooks (well most) from the TM site nowadays.
I've made a few batches of choc chip cookies from the EDC, very good! Made corn, potato and chorizo chowder tonight, white sauce made in thermie then cooked in the slow cooker, was awesome!
Crumpet - yes, you can use rice milk anytime you see cow's milk. Sometimes it's more appropriate to use coconut milk. You use Nuttlex instead of margarine.
The puddings at the end of the varoma demo - yum! Have been making orange and dark choc ones. And just had custard and banana for dessert!
Just got a second bowl and blade set and a second thermoserver... soooo handy! Have also been making solids for DS2 (just starting).
My blog has a few dairy free bits on it.:

There is a dairy free tab on the side :)

Pudding with raspberry jam= awesome!!
The one from the in the mix book? Thats amazing:
Sent from my Galaxy S3 so please excuse errors.
That's the one!!!
I love that recipe the pudding is light and fluffy and incredible!
Sent from my Galaxy S3 so please excuse errors.
Just made marshmallows - fantastic! Mmmmm yum. (Next week, I swear I am going back to my "quit sugar" program). Next time I might tweak to slightly less gelatine.
Here is the recipe from the recipe community:
Ingredients
180 grams sugar
250 grams hot water
1 tbsp gelatine
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup dessicated coconut (to coat)
Preparation
1. Line slice tin (18 x 28cm) with baking paper.
2.Place sugar into mixing bowl and pulverise 8 sec/speed 9.
3.Add gelatine and hot water and cook 7 min/100C/speed 2 (or until sugar is dissolved).
4.Remove lid and place mixing bowl on bench to cool to room temperature (or until a thick syrupy consistancy is reached).
5.Replace mixing bowl and insert Butterfly. Place basket on top of lid and whip syrup 3 mins/speed 4 (until mixture starts to thicken).
6.Remove basket and whip a further 3 min/speed 4 or until mixture is thick (similar to a meringue mix).
7.Add vanilla and mix 15 sec/speed 4.
8.Pour into tin and refridgerate for approx 15 mins until set.
9.Use a wet knife to slice into squares. Put coconut in a bag and toss each square in coconut until well covered.
Popping my head to say hi.
Just got my Thermomix today & i'm already in love :)
Yippee chesire :loveshower: enjoy your new baby
Made chicken and veggie sausage rolls and puddings tonight, had Asian style fish (salmon) fillets day night
We made Fried rice from Quirky cooking blog & it sooooo good & so easy to make.
Also made Choc custard, tomorrow i plan on making Thermie mash potato & not sure what else.
Thanks Olive :D are the puddings hard to make? We don't have our home demo for another 3 weeks but i'm keen to try the puddings.
I used the ones from the book in the mix, but use a recipe from the forum community!
Quirky cooking is a blog I follow a lot.
The salami fettuccine from the EDC ( the one tmx came ith) is great, as are choc chip cookies
We had the QJ cashew chicken for dinner. FANTASTIC! Although I used peanuts. Made two batches of coconut rice and upped the veg and chicken. And it was perfect. Enough for 4 adults and two hungry kids. Served the kids first then add chilli to ours. Perfect.
I made a lamb & green pepper curry + Bombay potatoes tonight. Omg it was SO hot. And so yum. And so hot!! Both from the Indian book :)
& still love those chicken & veggie sausage roles Olive!!
Thermite is making soup for dinner as I write this! Have been making QJ's dumplings (her's is a sausage casserole which is yum, but you can put them on any casserole)
It's fruity dream season again!
Have started to freeze fruit, made it tonight with banana, strawberry and pear, whipped with chia seed gel.
Subscribing. I get my thermie soon and I'm very excited.
Is there a payment plan option when you buy a thermomix?
There are a few. There is finance with 12 months interest free. ($15 p/w min payment or around $40 p/w to have it paid off in 12 months)
There is also a 3 month reverse laybuy type option where you pay a deposit then pay it off over the next 3 months.
Thank you. I really want one especially since reading this thread :). Might have to look t those options
They are very awesome. I've had mine over 2 years and I've never regretted it!
