Martha Stewart's cookies app is currently free in the app store! Also free are the in-app purchases of extra  cookie recipes.

Tapping all the links inside the apps, I was then able to download an app of smoothie recipes (Whole Living) with more free "in-app" recipes. Finally, I also downloaded Martha's cocktail app for free. Lots of downloading here tonight.

Hope you find them and they're still free!

Thanks for the welcomes, Dede and Astarra.

Yes, I've been busy. I made Quirky Jo's creamy rice soup and some sundried tomato, basil and feta pull apart yesterday, and tonight we're having chicken, rocket and brown rice salad.

I am planning to buy a second bowl next week at my demo.

Hello to a fellow Queenslander!

Chookie, I've decided the bread maker, juicer and milk shake maker can go to my husband's work. His receptionist will know of a family or two that might appreciate them.

Judy, I haven't been converting recipes as much as I thought - I joined Weight Watchers in late February. The only favorite recipe I did convert was a Brownie one! Only 5 kg to go. The salads I saw at Back to Basics have come in useful.

Dede - Hi!

Mine arrived today too! An early birthday present.

I agree that it looks beautiful, and I can definitely see myself cooking from it. Must get out the sticky bookmarks!

Hi Everyone!

I've come out from lurkdom to introduce myself. I'm a mother of 4, 2 boys, 2 girls - the eldest three are married/partnered up. My baby is 17 and will be in year 12 soon at boarding school. I work from home, love to bake (not so good for the waistline), and can be a sporadic cook when it comes to main meals for just the two of us.

I forgot, I have a terrible cookbook addiction!

Okay, now the confession- I bought a thermochef. I researched both machines. At the time, thermomix demos were not happening here, and there were no retail outlets selling thermochefs in town. I actually got my first look while channel-surfing, the TC was being used on the shopping channel. I decided that for me, dipping my toe into a new way of cooking, the TC would be a test to see if I used it enough. I have a Kitchen Aid mixer, blender and food processor. The blender has been shelved, I'm thinking about passing on the food processor to one of my children, and the bread maker is destined for a garage sale (I only make bread about three times a year now).

My eldest daughter just had our first grandchild, and if she ever becomes interested in cooking (she bakes), I can see the TC going to her house. Then I'll have a decision to make. But for now, I'm perfectly happy with my TC.

I've enjoyed looking at the posts and recipes on this forum, and learnt about Tenina's dinner spinner and the MWOC app (both of which I have bought). I've tried converting some recipes over christmas (rum balls, cheesecakes), and when I remember to write down what I did I'll be sure to list them here.
