Just polished off some  custard....MMMmm...
I must confess I am a sucker for a good custard and the TM custard is awesome.

We have a son that has a food additive / preservative sensitivity.
I was shocked to find that Australia allows colours / additivies that "most" other countried have banned.
Two of which are the yellow colours used in custard powder - thus the custard powder went in the bin and I have been without custard for about 6 months until I very recent purchase of the ThermoMix.

Thank-you everyone....

If my wife had her way - we would have one about a year ago after she went to a demonstraton at a friends place.
She came home convinced we needed one.
I wasn't so sure and couldn't possibly see how such an expensive piece of kitchen equipment was going to be abe to do all the things my wife was certain that it could do.

A fortnight ago - I happened to be working from home for the day when the same friend said she was having another demonsration at her place - this time a veroma demonstration.

It sounds a little condenscending, but I went along more to keep my wife happy than having a real interest myself.
Well it didn't take long to change my mind, really.

We had 8 dishes for 10 people in just a little over two hours.
(Granted, the demonstrator had already cut into pieces te required ingredinents - which made it seem "much" quicker, but none the less...)

I was hooked.
The food was delicious.
You could taste the individual ingredients that went into the dishes, it was truly amazing.

Needless to say, a week later (last week) we had one of our own!!!

Hi Everyone,

Here's a quick snapshot;
I live in Melbourne, Australia
Just joined the forums.
Just bought a Thermomix a week ago.

We bought it in a attempt to ensure we eat healthier with less additives.
One of our ids gets severely effected by preservatives / colours / flavours.

I'm sure you know how it goes... don't go to the shop and buy dip when you can make your own in all of a few minutes.
Know exactly what went into it - and what didn't!
Save on time, save on fuel - eat fresher / better.

I feel / sound like a "Born again...",
Preaching to everyone how abour awesome the ThermoMix is and how I don;t know how I managed to do things without it...

I hope to learn a lot while I am here and share any good things we manage to find out for ourselves!
I'm sure I'll catch-up with you all in amongst the messages....

Introduce Yourself / Re: Hello - new girl trying to make pasta sauce
« on: March 16, 2011, 03:02:44 am »
Hi,
I have the same issue here with orange pasta sauce.
We tried with normal / "gourmet" tomatoes to start with - with no onions and our sauce was bright orange too.
And it wasn't all that spectacular to be honest.

We then tried another batch with "roma" tomatoes.
It too was orage - but ended up being a much nicer / tastier sauce.

Is it strictly a case of the tomatoes in use?
I could add "tinned" tomatoes to the mix as well / instead of fresh ones... but surely that defeats the purpose of having a Thermomix, doesn't it?
