Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I am sooo glad I found this review and read it! I had planned to make this for a family lunch tomorrow and had all the ingredients ready except the 16cm tin. I went to Garden City this morning to get one but no one had it so I was hoping I could come home and find a solution on here....and here it is!! Just popped my 20cm springform into the Varoma and yes it fits and balances so I shall still be able to make the cheesecake and I've saved myself about $30 I reckon!! Thank you everyone for posting your results. Now I just need to decide whether to do a raspberry coulis, or do the ganache......

ooooh...my demo just got moved to tomorrow night!! Might see you there!!

Hi Mel

I've been trawling the internet for a Thermomix fondant recipe. Would you mind posting yours or messaging it to me please?

Thanks

Hope the BBQ went well Jodi. Thanks for the yoghurt info cookie. It was much nicer on Sunday morning, and then today it was even better!! Very thick and a bit lumpy as i had to tip it out of the thermos flask and into a container to store in the fridge but it's still delicious!!

Prac training was fine except I tipped a jug of water into the bread without weighing it. It turned out to bea good thing though as our GL told me to tip some out and then after it was combined she showed us how it was a bit dry and we added a bit more water. So now we will know what to do if we stuff it up again!!

Good luck with your first demo Jodi. I'll be thinking of you on Fri night. Looks like I have one next Wed night and then Saturday!! Only just got my kit today so I've practised the flip chart on DH and will subject my little man to it tomorrow.

I have my delivery demo tomorrow night so it will good to see that from a consultant point of view.

I'm off to read my FSA cookbook and additive alert!

Take care

Wow! What a busy few days!! I did day one of training on Wed and havent had a chance to get on the computer for long enough to post anything. I'm a bit nervous about training on Monday as its a practical day and we all have to make something from the demo menu. I'm doing the bread so I've already made two loaves and will do one more tomorrow to practise.

I went to a cooking class on Thurs evening and was inspired to make dips. They did the basil pesto one from the EDC and a salmon and cream cheese one which was also very delicious. We are off to a BBQ tomorrow avo so I'm taking a loaf of freeform fresh bread and two freshly made dips to wow the masses...and hopefully field lots of questions as to how/where I got them from...hehe

My BF and her DH came over yesterday avo so my DH could demonstrate the ease of use of TMX to her DH before she buys one!! No conspiracy here!! It wasnt engineered to convince her DH as she is already buying one but just to make him feel included in the decision making process i think I also did boost juices for her miss 7 and miss 4 and they went down a treat!!

This morn I made yoghurt!!! When I tasted it after 8 hours it was quite tart so I'm not sure if it will stay that way, in which case I may have to stew some fruit to go with it!! I hope it gets better as I really love the idea of making my own yoghurt. I also managed to find unhomogenised milk in Coles which I used for my yoghurt. It had about an inch and a half of thick cream sitting on top. Seems strange to think that this is such a novelty for me and yet this is how milk should look, and DID look in dare I say "the olden days"!!!

So we've had Theo for a whole week now and I'm still cooking up a storm or several every day!! Now I just need to bite the bullet and book some demos.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend

HI Jodi

I just signed up this morning as Nov training starts TOMORROW!!!! Had to find babysitters for my son for three whole days (they dont do training at night apparently) and I've never left him anywhere else but at home before. Wish me luck...and wish him luck!!

Hope your first demos are booked in and you are fired up to power through them

Update :
Strog turned out well but I thought it could have been a bit thicker. Tasted good though and my little man loved it! Mash turned out well for us too. I think it could have done with a bit less pureeing but DH liked it and had seconds and is very excited to be having it for lunch tomorrow as well. He also made lemonade this avo and I had to wrench Theo from his fingers to make dessert.

I wanted to make the lemon coconut steamed puddings from the Varoma demo but couldnt find the recipe on the forum. Thankfully I found one cookie posted and it was deeelicious!! Thanks cookie Finally sat down at 8:20 this evening while Theo and Varoma did their thing and I have just devoured half a pudding as we are so full from all the food we've eate today!!

Also made cinnamon scrolls which I usually do in the breadmaker. Dough was super sticky and I had to remove the blades which was scary to do for the first time since they were covered in bread dough/gloop!! They turned out well though and have just come out of the oven.

I hope every day isnt going to be like this. I'm knackered!! DH just said "I thought TMX was meant to save us time, not have us
slaving in the kitchen all day!"

It was worth it though. Can't wait to get my Indian cookbook
