Thank you Suzanne and Obbie for your kind words.
I have been sick lately and this recipe has been an easy, kids-will-ask-for thirds recipe!

Thanks Bron for this fabulous aioli recipe.
I added a half teaspoonful of dijon mustard instead of the vinegar and used the butterfly when whipping the oil in for 3.5 minutes.
The result was a really light, fluffy aioli...totally delish !
 Thanks again.   :D

comments from members

djinni373 - A teaspoon of stock concentrate is more than enough for us and I threw in some fresh parsley at the end. Yummy with toasted home made ciabatta. Quick and easy too.

thermo18 - such a lovely flavour and will be making again.

LouLouB - Has a great taste. Mine was like potato puree at first,  so think my 4 potatoes may have been too big, but nothing that some extra cream & a dash of milk couldn't sort out. Tasty!

Sparky606 -  We (DH and I) think it could do with more leek. Ours fed 2 adults but probably wouldn't have fed much more.
Was still very yummy and definitely recommended.

floweryspring - Used 2 leeks. 2 big and 1 small potato but was still too thick so I added some hot water and more cream. DELICIOUS!

Thank you again ladies!
 I let Hubby have full reign of the kitchen and    *:  on the weekends as he is a bit of a "foodie" and loves to cook on his days off. Hey I get fed so I am not complaining!  ;D
He has just made a lemon/orange souffle with the Thermomix and it rose really, really well in the oven, but alas, it kind of collapsed when he took it out.  He was devastated! It tasted pretty good though. 
Just wondering if anyone has a special trick to keep the souffles up when taken out of the oven?

Thank you so much ladies for your warm welcome and kind words. :D
Yes, I was very lucky my Hubby was willing to buy the Thermomix. Truth be told, he was the one who encouraged me to buy it so he could have a go at it himself! We have only had the Thermomix for 3 weeks, and I think he has used it more than me. his favourite recipe has been the lemon/lime sorbet, even though it is freezing here in Sydney!
He just loves gadgets, and to him the Thermomix is the ultimate gadget ... aside from his trusty Weber bbq that is.

Hi Everyone!! I am so excited to be finally posting here as I have been ogling recipes on this forum since I first laid eyes on the Thermomix at a friend's house.  :D
 So funny, I initially thought it was a pressure cooker but of course I have since found out it is so much more! Once I found what an amazing machine it was, I knew I had to have one! Fortunately, Hubby is a bit of a 'Gadget Man' so he was quite excited by the Thermomix and now we have our very own Thermomix! :D
  I have since made pasta (first ever time) which was so easy and fast, ice cream, food for Bub, daily brekkie milk shakes, orange almond cake and a few other things. I have to admit that I am not a very good cook normally, but the Thermomix has reallly increased my confidence.  I would like to also thank everyone on this forum for making it such a great resource for Thermomix newbies like me.  I just love reading all the wonderful posts and recipes and the enthusiasm people have for the Thermomix is infectious! Sincerely yours, Newbie from Sydney xox
