I am also a fan of the Friendly Foods book, and the new RPA guide to the elimination diet is very useful and practical. It explains things in a clear way which anyone (even men can just look at the graphs) can understand :-)

It also has more savoury options which I find the Failsafe cookbook lacks a bit....but it is designed for families with kids so I suppose that is the thought behind that.

Hi All,
I am very new to thermomix, had mine for one full day now and just love it!

If I had known what a difference it could make to my life I would have bought one long before now.

I have two children and a husband with food intolerance's - dairy, wheat and we eat additive free as well as doing the FAILSAFE elimination diet. My son also has an egg allergy which he has never had an anaphylactic reaction to and is growing out of. Because of all these things I was spending so long in the kitchen and it was becoming a real chore, so I am thankful to have found out about the thermomix and can really see the change it will make in my life if I make full use of it.

I believe food should be prepared with a happy and positive attitude so am really pleased to be enjoying cooking again, and to be able to get things done at the same time.

So far on my own I have made some cupcakes with icing, rice pudding and a soup, tomorrow I have a risotto planned for dinner and am looking forward to porridge in the morning.

I have a traditional mincer but as that is so time consuming I am looking forward to mincing in the TM and making some sausages.

I am looking forward to trying out your recipes, and hopefully sharing some of my own.
