Just a few words to introduce myself to this lovely forum. I am very happy to have found this forum, it looks so friendly and interesting. I am French, living between France and England (ie: work and family) and between trips to and fro I love cooking to feed the family of course but also purely for my pleasure - and hopefully my family's  .
My thermomix is definitely a lifesaver on weekdays but I feel I am underusing it, not because I don't use it often (I do) but because I tend to use it mainly for soups, sauces, risottos, breaddough and sometimes steaming but I know it can do so much more and it looks like this forum and your lovely contributions can really help me expand my rather limited repertoire.
Looking forward to that and hopefully contributing some recipes myself some time.
Next week is my hubby's birthday and we (ie: me, daughter 10 and son 17) would like to prepare a surprise gourmet dinner for him, any idea for quick and flashy recipes for the 'event'? I will go through the forum  recipes of course but suggestions would be very welcome as there are so many possibilities... Thanks in advance
