I can't stop cooking recipes from this book - they are fabulous.

So far I have made the beef and veggies rissoles, the soy and basil chicken noodles, the banana choc muffins, the easy lemon tart (including the vanilla bean pastry),  and I am currently cooking  the fudgey chocolate raspberry brownies.  I don't have photos of them all but I am happy to write reviews of them.  How should I do this?  Just post a reply for each review that will then be moved?

I have this marinating in the fridge at the moment and we are having it for dinner tonight. I love it and it is about the 4th time I have made it.

I first made this recipe at Christmas time, which was a big hit.  I decided to make it again a couple of weeks ago.  I was making it in a rush and accidentally added the white chocolate  before the 20 mins at Varoma speed.  I can tell you that modification makes toffee after it has been in the fridge.

I made it again today for our school cake stall and it turned out lovely and creamy and smooth again.

Thanks for a great recipe.

I made this recipe and it is lovely.  I have used the end products in a few recipes so far as well.

The only problem I had was quite a few cloves were mashed up.  I think from looking at the pictures that people have posted that the cloves I used were too small.  When I make it again I will look for larger garlic cloves.

I made these a couple of weeks ago, and am making them again right now.

My cookies were darker than Jo's too, they looked like gingerbread not shortbread.  At first I was worried if these would be too spicy for the kids, but they are awesome.  Thanks Tenina for another great recipe.

I made these last week and didn't ice them but froze leftover ones for the kids lunches.  They are a lovely texture and flavour and were well liked by the kids.  I will make some more this week and I might even try the icing.  .

I made these last week, and they were delicious.  The sauce is really tasty and will be a good alternative for anyone who doesn't like really hot chilli mussels.  I also made some crusty bread to slurp up the juices with too.  5/5

I made this on the weekend and it was so quick and easy and tasted beautiful.  I changed around some vege's to suit our family but cooked them in the same method.  I will definitely make it again.  3 ribs was enough for me, my hubby had 5.

Thanks Alyce for the great recipes.  I have been busy cooking your recipes this week!

I couldn't resist buying it yesterday when I saw it in Dymocks after reading the rave reviews on here. I only bought it at 4pm yesterday and last night I  made the crispy roast veges (I will made the olive tapenade next time) and I am in the middle of making the honey icecream. I can't wait to try the fig & olive crackers.

Thanks for posting the recipe.

This is an awesome recipe.  I have cooked it twice now, I won't go back to cooking these on the stove.
 
The sauce was just to our liking - not blow your head off spicy, but spicy enough for us.  Cooking the mussels in the varoma is excellent - they open so well.  It must just be easier for them to open if they don't have the sauce weighing it down.

Thanks for the recipe.

I made this loaf a couple of days ago in the evening, so we could have it for breakfast the next morning.  It made a huge loaf and tasted really nice.  I used raisins, sultana's, currents and craisins as my dried fruit.  Thanks for the recipe.

I just saw this thread at the right time, as I was just about to make another batch of the EDC VSC. 

Just made this version and it smelt delicious while cooking.  After making the stock I went straight into making the marinade for the gourmet beef casserole http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4535.0.  I love not wasting the extra stock that I can't scrape out, and the flavour of the casserole is great.

Thanks for this interpretation.

This is absolutely delicious.  My kids looked like they wanted to lick their plates when I cooked it.  I had to show them how to mop up the juices with bread.  I made it with lamb, only because that is what DH bought and only marinated for 1 hour as per the recipe.

Tonight I made some of the left over into pies with Maggie Beers sour cream pastry.  Thanks for Mama Fergie for posting that recipe. 

I use Maggie Beers sour cream pastry for pies and everyone loves it  :)

250g Plain Flour
200g chilled unsalted Butter
125 g sour cream

Put the flour and butter into TMX and process for 5-7 seconds Speed 6 until it looks crumbly.
Add sour cream and process again for 6 seconds speed 6 until it comes together. A couple of extra seconds if necessary.
Put onto silicon mat or a board and form into a ball and refrigerate until ready to use. At least 20 minutes.


I looked up Maggie Beer pie recipes using that pastry to get a cooking time, as I have not made many pies.  I cooked it on 220 degrees for 20 minutes and then turned down to 180 degrees for 5-10 mins  until golden brown.  No need to precook, just put cold filling into cold pastry and put back in fridge for 20 mins before cooking. Yum, sorry no photo.
