Hi everyone,
I was lucky enough to receive my thermomix as a gift from my wonderful mother in law just before Christmas. I had never seen a thermomix in action so there my thermie sat, on the kitchen bench, in its newly created spot, staring at me until after new year and I could get a demo.
I hope it enjoyed its break because its been working hard since then
We have 2 children, a carnivorous teenage boy, and an 8 year old vegetarian. Every night meal times were a challenge. Having put in the effort to produce a meal that I knew would only half satisfy each of them, followed by the rants of "eat your veggies" and "just try the meat, you might find you like it", dinner at our house was quite frankly depressing.
Now, thanks to my thermie and your wonderful community, meal times are a very different story. I started using your recipes that "hide" veggies. After a few days the announcement came to teenage son that he had been quite happily consuming vegetables with no ill effect and he's actually far more willing to try them now-undisguised. I was apprehensive that steaming chicken would make that much difference to its taste for DD, but wow was I wrong. I think the combination of using fresh ingredients vs packaged preservatives, great flavoursome recipes and a new way of cooking has definitely helped turn our house around, so thank-you everyone.
Oh and I've lost 3kg
