Introduce Yourself / Re: I'm new!

Thank you everyone for your warm and enthusiastic response!  I'm beginning to feel sort of smug at being one of a rather special group of people!  May I be forgiven! 

When I get/do a new recipe of which I am confident I will of course be delighted to share it.  At the moment I am rather going by the book.  I have put a recipe for low carbohydrate bread on the bread forum but I suspect that there will not be many to whom it will be relevant.  I wonder is there anyone out there with a TM who is 'low carbing'?

Very best wishes to all,

janecee

PS   to Rowyfo I think it was who said 'may be you weren't even born in the 70s'  Lovely idea but the truth is I am in my 70s!

Hello Rhogue,

You are so right about one's attitude towards cooking, and the demands on you are hugely more than those on me.  My problem was boredom with cooking and I got away with it as I have a very tolerant partner!  However I did feel guilty as he is very supportive and contibutory on the domestic front so the fact that I do all the cooking was not something I could resent - he does almost all the shopping.  We are retired!

I don't need to say that I hope you will continue to enjoy your TM31 because I know you will and that I will (have had mine only 6 weeks)  I do wish these had been around for preparing food for my children when they were babies - too late now they are 49 and 46.  Maybe my great grandchildren will benefit?

Very best wishes,

janecee

Bread / Low carb. bread
« on: May 08, 2009, 12:11:59 pm »
Here is my son's adaptation of a low carb bread recipe from somewhere! There are so many of them out there.

Gluten powder                     150gm
Gound almonds                     150gm   (You can of course mill your own blanched almonds)
Linseed                                75gm
Dried yeast (instant sort)        2 teaspoons (I use the measure from my bread maker)
Sugar                                   1 teaspoon
Water                                  260 gm


Weigh the linseed into the TM bowl and grind at speed 10 for a few secs until 'flourlike'
Weigh/Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix 20secs/speed 3 to combine.
Set timer for 2 to 3 mins, put speed dial to locked position and press the Dough/Knead button.
Remove lid and turn TM bowl upside down to remove the dough and press lightly into a 2lb loaf tin or divide into 12 for rolls.
Leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size
Bake 225 degrees C for about 25 mins for a loaf or 12-15 mins for rolls

You do not need to add any fat or oil as the linseed is in itself oily.  Neither do you need to glaze as it bakes with a glossy finish.

When cool I slice it with a food slicer, bag it and put into the freezer as I don't eat enough of it to get through the loaf before it is stale.  Because of the linseed, the slices separate easily when you take them from the freezer.  It toasts beautifully and is very acceptable as bread.  You can add seeds etc to the ingredients, basically follow the bread recipe in the UK TM31 Recipe book 'Fast and Easy Cooking'

I will try to add some photos when I next bake.

Hello Everyone,

I'm janecee from West Sussex UK and have had my TM31 for about 6 weeks and could not be more delighted with it as it has completely revitalised my approach to cooking which has become such fun.

I am finding the forum fascinating and interesting.  I knew about the TM way back in the 1970s but didn't indulge in one.  The TM31 would appear to be a great deal more versatile and the engineering and design are truly impressive.

I appreciate the warm welcome and will look forward to sharing ideas and information through the forum.
