Just made these for my 14month old and she loved them. Used the kernels from 2 cobs of corn cooked or 5 mins in the microwave. Turned half the batch into some more adult version with extra spring onion, green chilli and cumin - yummo. They'd make a great canape with some guacamole on top. Thanks for the recipe.

Thanks chookie - made this last night as a follow up to the entirely too healthy chow mein :-) Stoked because I've found an oval dish that balances well in the varoma a couple of cm's above the base.
Recipe worked perfectly (I used store bought raspberry jam, whipped the egg whites in the cake mixer). Dh said it reminded him of his boarding school days but thankfully tastier.

Made this last night and my almost 1 year old loved it, and then she ate the leftovers again for dinner tonight! Great for a quick healthy weeknight meal - should definitely be linked in the babies and kids section.
Done, thanks for the suggestion Cuddle cook - JD

Hopefully this is a question uk followers can answer. We'd like to buy hubby's parents a thermomix as a 40th anniversary present. His mum is a reluctant cook and hates standing over the stove, but has just found out she's coeliac. Fil would also benefit from some non burnt food  . What's the best way to go about it?

It was delicious - thank you. We used skinless breast strips and deep fried them, and used 2tbsp spice mix to 1.5 cups flour - just perfect for us, but removed the coating for the little one. Not much of an excuse to get takeaway from this particular establishment again  Served it with coleslaw, mash and some of Jaime's get ahead gravy I had in the freezer. Will have to check the forum for gravy recipes.

This thread is making me drool... With the cardamom is it the green or black cardamom? Thanks, can't wait to try it this weekend :-) Kfc is our very guilty pleasure but we always feel so bloated and uggh after it.

Oops, just saw TT's post - please remove if there are too many lactation cookie recipes.

Belly Belly Lactation Cookies:
Approx 48 cookies
Ingredients:
•1 cup butter or margarine (250g)
•1 & 1/2 cups brown sugar (250g)
•4 tablespoons water
•2 tablespoons flaxseed meal (can be found at any local health food store)
•2 large eggs
•1 teaspoon vanilla
•2 cups plain flour (300g)
•1 teaspoon baking soda
•3 cups oats, thick cut if you can get them
•1 cup or more chocolate chips/sultanas/almonds/macadamia nuts (whatever you like)
•2-4 tablespoons of brewers yeast (be generous
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 180C or 160C FF
2. Combine flaxseed meal with water and set aside
3. Place cubed butter in TMX and cream 30sec sp 4
4. Add brown sugar and cream 1min sp4 - I had one scrape down half way
5. Add the eggs, vanilla and flaxseed meal and mix 30sec sp4
6. Add flour, baking powder, brewers yeast and mix 30sec sp5
7. Add oats and choc chips - knead 1min (just check, might need longer)
8. Spoon heaped teaspoonfuls onto lined baking tray and bake for 10-15 mins (small ones took 10 in my oven, large 15)
Personally have found these great for boosting milk supply (you eat 1-2 each breast feed) and they taste quite yummy, dark choc and orange zest were my favourite - the whole family was eating them. I found the brewers yeast in a health food shop and you can also get it in homebrew sections of target/big W etc, the flaxseed meal was from coles. So if you know someone who could use them - whip them up a batch (the last thing you want to do is bake with a new baby).

Thanks for the recipe, these were beautiful and so much lighter than what you can buy in the bakeries. I got 16 fairly large scrolls. Next time I might try rolling from the long end to get more smaller scrolls. Custard, apple or adding flaked almonds sounds delicious too.

Made these this morning, fantastic recipe - have written it on a recipe card, definite keeper. 2 cups of oats was 150g for me and a cup of chopped up white choc was close enough to 110g. I used judy dawn's tip and dusted the craisins and white choc in flour before adding, mixed 30sec on interval speed. My cookies must have been quite large, only got 25

Another big thank you! Just made a half batch with thickened cream, baked at 200c in a fan forced oven. Thought my old recipe was pretty good but these were dee-licious. Dh agrees best batch ever...

Thank you so much for the recipe - they're amazing. I replaced 50gms of the butter with copha and they were crunchy on the outside and beautifully chewy on the inside. This morning's batch is almost all gone :-)
Any tips on stopping the chips sinking to the bottom of the mix.

Thanks everyone Will definitely let the pastry rest longer next time. Made the butter chicken last night- it was delish. I'm Indian but not a very confident Indian cook (always go round to mum's) so it was a nice surprise. See you on the other threads.

I'm about to start BLW (baby led weaning - mostly fingerfoods and no purees) with my six month old and have found the baby led weaning cookbook by Gil Rapely ful of inspiration for finger foods, I just downloaded it from Amazon. Have also just made these - turned out good but will add more cous cous next time http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/recipes/cous-cous-patties/48499Thanks for the Annabel Karmel reference, will check it out.

Hello everyone,
As the title suggests I've been reading this forum for ages, drooling over what could possibly be made in the thermomix and leaving pages open on the iPad so that dh could see what could be made - he's a sucker for sweet stuff. There was some pretty blatant hints being dropped. I'd first been to a demo 3 years ago and it was love at first site but we couldn't justify it. But on christmas eve afternoon whilst the kitchen was a disaster zone for the next day, a lovely consultant brought my new baby round and showed me the basics including custard. It was an amazing christmas/birthday present from dh. It's been very exciting am looking forward to cooking up a storm for family, especially our six month old daughter. I've tried a few things below and it's all been delicious except for a few things I've commented. Hopefully people can steer me in the right direction and I can contribute a few recipes of my own.
Shalini
Leek roulade mix
Sweet potato mash
Simple white rolls for oyster po boys
Neil Perry's prawn marinade
Vanilla custard
Turkey risotto
Spinach and mushroom quiche filling
Christmas ham, sweet potato and leek quiche filling
Chocolate custard
Orange, macadamia and ginger biscotti (based on Tenina's recipe)
Shortcrust pastry - but it shrunk so much couldn't use it
Some juices
Coffee frappe - I think the timing was off as there was no ice left
Garlic and herb pull apart
Carrot cake
Banana bread
Chicken and sweetcorn soup - yummy but ended up cloudy :-(
Cous cous and veg patties for bubs - next time will add more cous cous
The paste for butter chicken and will do butter chicken tonight :-)
