Title: Hello & a big thank you!
Post by: Katiej on March 06, 2011, 05:52:47 am

Hello to everyone from another new Thermomix owner from Semaphore in Adelaide, South Australia.

I've had my Thermomix for about 5 weeks now and like everyone else here, I love it!  I've always been a big "foodie" and love cooking, baking, shopping for food, cookbooks, kitchen equipment, anything really to do with food and cooking.  So a Thermomix is definitely something I had to have!

Since getting Thermie I'm been trying so many new recipes and making things from scratch I normally wouldn't attempt (stock, curry paste, pasta dough, bread etc).  Before trying anything though I've jumped on here to check out everyone's recipes and tips.  Thanks everyone as it's been invaluable.   I'm currently making bread using JudyDawn's "milk loaf" recipe which is looking pretty good.  I'm hoping it will be turn out better than my first attempt at making bread in Thermie (as I made half a dozen very heavy rocks instead of bread rolls, oh well....I turned it into breadcrumbs so it wasn't a waste).  I think with JudyDawn's help today's effort is going to be much better.  Thanks Judy  :)

I"m looking forward to the cooler months, as soup making is something I love.  I'm sure Thermie will whip up some great soups this year!

I only really have one complaint about Thermie though...my partner has discovered a love of cooking now its so easy with Thermie and its a race now to see who can cook dinner!

Cheers, Katie

Hello Katiej, welcome to the forum.  You are not far from me at North Haven.  Sounds like you are getting on great with your machine and like most of us, making everything from scratch.  Good luck with your milk loaf, it is a pretty quick recipe with just the one rising. Hopefully you can sort out some sort of roster in the kitchen if your partner is wanting to take over all the cooking - guess you can't complain, a lot of guys won't go near a stove. Make the most of it  ;)

I've heard that with bread rolls after you have let it rise and cut them up...squish them with the heal of your hand/palm and then re-shape them into balls and they turn out better...haven't tried it yet myself as my thermie arrives next week...but it might help??
