I wanted healthy i.e. no red-meat and not dairy based because I want it healthy.  We don't do sausages or mince or any processed foods. This shouldn't be 'extremely hard to find' as I think this is basic healthy eating.

There seems to be a belief that 'children's food' is about burgers, sausages, pizza and fish fingers and I've always avoided this 'pitfall' and my daughter is now nearly 8.  I'm sure there must be easy and quick recipes that would appeal to children. 

At the moment I am cooking some potatoes in my TMX with some plain white fish steaming on the top and in a minute I will add some veggies to go with it.  I'll mash the potatoes when they are cooked.  This is one dish my daughter loves.  But I'd love a section on this website where I could get lots more HEALTHY children's meals (which of course would appeal to grown ups too!).

Any suggestions gratefully received.

I've been searching this forum and Googling to find some healthy easy children's meals!  No success so far.  I thought there must be a cookbook or a forum somwhere?  Babies and Childrens section seems to be primarily sweet stuff and baby stuff.  I'm looking for meals that are full of veggies, no red meat, lots of vegetarian options, lots of dairy-free options, lots of raw salad type recipes.  Where can I find them!!!?  Thank you to anyone who can give me some ideas 

Does anyone have a great recipe for French Onion Soup that gives as good a result as Delia Smith's conventional recipe. It's the best I've every tried.  Her ingredients are :
700g onions
2 tbs olive oil
50g butter
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp sugar
1.2L best beef stock
275m dry white wine
2 tbs cognac
salt & pepper
(served with french bread and grated Greyere cheese)
The original recipe takes lots of time on the hob.  I'd love to know how to  make this in Nermal (our pet name for Thermomix).  In original recipe you have to fry onions in butter, oil and sugar on high heat until they edges have turned dark then reduce heat and cook for at least 30 mins until base of pan "covered in rich, nut-brown- caramelised film".  then add stock and wine and cook for another hour! 
I'd appreciate any help in converting this great recipe.

Hi!

Does anyone have an elderberry cordial recipe? Apparently elderberry  cordial is very good for treating and preventing winter colds and flu.

Or perhaps you have another berry cordial recipe I could us?

Many thanks.

I've owned my TM for a few months, inspired by Janey Lee Grace and a presentation done at Taymount Lifestyle Clinic in Herts.  I was intending to use it for lots of lovely raw food recipes but have been tempted down the path of chocolate and almond spread, lovely jams, icecreams, cup cakes and soups 

I haven't even had my demonstration for someone to come and show me how to use it in my own kitchen as we've been going through a big house refurbishment and am only just now coming to the point where the kitchen is looking to be finished!  But I'm looking forward to finding some lovely healthy and raw food recipes to get me back on track.

Has anyone got a recipe for making bramble jelly (the clear seedless type of jam)? I have a juicer and am wondering if it would be a quick way of making jelly by using juice then zapping it in the Thermomix without the hassle of using a jelly bag or muslin.
