This was lovely! Used balsamic vinegar instead of malt vinegar and added 25 g of truffle EVO and it was very well received!
Thank you 5

I love the ones with pictures of every dish but MOTM has more appealing recipes. Thanks for that Judy Floors sanded and polished, so can play again Will get the book soon 6

Very interesting thread- I am now a SAHM but previously a senior sales manager in pharmaceuticals.
I have a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology.... and my dream job would be to work with Heston Blumenthal in his development kitchen! Not sure yet about real life in 2 hrs time though 7

Love this idea
Could be even great for school lunches/picnics? Do they taste as good at room temperature? 9

HI Cornish Cream
Thank you for this- yes I did see this page- I sometimes don't need to temper as much as 800 gr of chocolate and the times and quantities for seeding will be different for lesser amounts- keeping the temper with lots of chocolate is really much easier than with, say, 350 ml of chocolate Somebody needs to work this out- 450 gr of callets cost around $11.50 in Adelaide (although I know you can pay $20 for 1Kg of callets in Brisbane)- so not a cheap exercise 11

Hi Quasar
TMX is unlikely to able to keep the temper in a straightforward way as the minimum temperature (37c) will melt the "seeds" of the cocoa butter I use Callebaut dark 53 (tempers at 31 C) mainly but need to keep the tempered choc in the oven at 30 C on the defrost program if I have to keep the temper. That would have been a good thing to discuss at a demo. I would imagine that if you were trying to keep the temper with TMX you might need to possibly use the largest amount of couverture that you can fit in the bowl combined with Micryo and heating at 37 C in intervals Somebody else done this? That I would really like to know Do you do chocolate stuff? 12

The delivery demo (just you and the consultant) that shows you what to do to clean the TMX properly, how to dismantle it and what not to do etc- IS VERY useful.
Now I am going to say something possibly controversial... just my opinion, so please don't shoot In my modest opinion, the "party" demo is not that impressive. It's a number of basic recipes that you can pick up on the internet (the Canadian ones especially) or from this forum (in fact, I have seen far more sophisticated stuff on here). For instance I asked the consultant to try to tailor to my party needs (I was interested in pastry, sauces and chocolate) and also all my friends attending are very competent cooks and entertainers. Also cooking classes available here are all "Back to basics" In the UK there are masterclasses available, even at chef's level, something that I have not been able to find here in Australia. The Bimby forum counterpart in Italy runs online masterclasses (not had time to suss things out on that one), and the French and Spanish books are really on another level. Holey maloney! I am feeling argumentative today Maybe it's the floor sanding I have to get up and do 14
