Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Which recipe books are good for converting to GF?
« on: May 19, 2012, 06:50:56 am »
Hi all,

I have only had my TMX for 2 weeks now, and due to being sick and family being sick, I really haven't had a real chance to have a good go at using my TMX! Now that I am finally beginning to feel better, I am wanting to really get into cooking more but feel I need more guidance with converting normal recipes to GF for my family. Currently I have the EDC, Indian cookbook and the gluten free cookbook. Am wanting to get the lunchbox  ideas and budget busters. What are any other cookbooks that you can recommend to me? I am needing easy and tasty recipes for a fussy 5 year old (my 2 year old eats pretty much anything!)

Thank you in advance!

Hi all,

Well, I have had my thermomix for approximately 9 hours. I haven't done a huge amount as I have already begun to run out of things! First I made the vege stock, which I'm hoping is okay. I then made 2 gluten free banana cakes, gluten free brownies, boiled and egg and attempted the gluten free pizza base for dinner (ran out of time to get to the butcher for meat!) The pizza base wasn't great so I'll have a go at tweaking it to suit us soon. So far a pretty good start I think.

Now I need to sit and read the recipe books and work out what I want to take to a BBQ tomorrow afternoon.....I'm sure I can whip something up!

Hope you've all had a lovely day cooking (or whatever you may have been doing!)

Hi all,

Well, I took the plunge on Sunday and ordered a TMX!! A good friend of mine is a consultant and has been since about July or so last year. She told me all about it back then but the price totally put me off. Eventually, after cancelling about 3 parties, I had a demo and FELL IN LOVE! Ever since then I have dreamt of owning my own TMX. Last week my hubby said I can have one for mother's day/my birthday (which is in June)   :D How happy was I?!

Now I'm just playing the waiting game and hanging out for it to be delivered. Am hoping it will get here quicker than the approximate 10 working days. In the meantime I have been reading these amazing forums, saving recipes and working out what some of the first things will be that I will attempt.

My main reason for purchasing a TMX is for my children. My eldest has Coeliac Disease and my youngest has a high risk of developing CD plus has nut and egg allergies. I would also like to cut out additives from their diets. So I know that the TMX will be a gadget that I will use quite frequently. Am looking forward to cooking great GF food and getting my children to eat better (without them even knowing!)

If anyone has some great GF recipes that work well for young children that they could share, I would be extremely grateful! Looking forward to getting to know lots of you and becoming an amazing cook in my kitchen!

 :)
