Hello and welcome praisehimau, you sound like a fellow kindred spirit!
Using thermie once a day will be easy to do. Good luck with everything.

Good news, quirky's new cookbook has coconut yoghurt in it if I'm reading her latest post correctly. Hopefully it will be more user friendly for you.

Ooh what a shame for you because it is expensive to make. Did you use the ayam brand coconut cream? It is one of the only ones with no thickeners added... I don't have any suggestions I'm sorry because it works fine for me. Perhaps the temperature got too high for it? I know when I used my easiyo in the past I had runny yoghurt if I had too high temperature but sometimes it thickened in the fridge. Sorry it didn't work for you!

Hi mj,
Yes we did feel fantastic, we are hoping to do it again after Easter because now with animal product in our system wee are sluggish and tired like before. It seems a plant based diet might suit us better. It's my husband who is pushing it (a tradesman and martial artist mind you), he has a green smoothie for breakfast and a big one at lunch, baked beans, chickpeas etc and only meat for the evening meal. The smoothies have chia seeds in them also. The thing that has struck me is how tired we are now we are eating meat and I know dairy is a problem for me as well because when eating dairy I get stomach aches and bloating.

Hi Craig,
I've been trying to live a plant based lifestyle also. Good luck to you! :-)
Chocolate is my weakness but I treat myself to the lint 70 percent cocoa once in a while.

Someone has a Kuchef page on facebook, hope this link works https://www.facebook.com/Kuchefthemocooker?ref=ts&fref=ts
It might be handy to look up also.
Unfortunately it looks like the kuchef belonging to the person who started the Facebook page has not been performing! Although I have a sneaking suspicion that they used their butterfly when MAKING sorbet, so that might explain their problem. Having a consultant is so worth it...

Hi im Bonnie im a new member here, i have just purchased a "thermocook" ( ALDI ), wanting to see how much use i get out of it before i drain the bank accounts with a TM purchase. Im new to thermo cooking as well, ive always cooked very basic meat an veg for my family so im excited to see what creactions i can manage with the TC.
hope to meet some friendly ppl in the forum that wont mind sharing tips and tricks in the cooking department.
thanks
Hi Bonnie, A friend of mine just recently bought the Aldi cooker also. Let me know how you go with it if you could please - she is a little nervous that the blade doesn't look like it spins evenly and sometimes she smells a plastic smell from the motor.

Hi, I bought a Kuchef on behalf of my friends the other day, she is so intrigued by the TMX but I know just won't bite the bullet and buy one, so this is a good starter to see if she would use it.
I told her to not treat it like it's a TMX and she should be fine. Don't overload, follow instructions carefully (incidentally, the recipes allow for cool down stirring to prevent burning).
So far she's keeping it simple with drinks but I'm sure it won't be long until she experiments.
Her Kuchef didn't come with the spatula though...

I'm not ever saying that one should be eaten over the other. Vegetable and animal proteins complement each other. What I am saying is that we shouldn't remove a complete food group from our diets. Animal protein doesn't need to be red meat. Eggs, Fish and Dairy product all provide excellent sources of protein, plus added fat soluble vitamins
But why eat the animal products at all if vegetable sources meet the requirements of the body?
I have been wrong before so someone else might have to back up this claim, but when a friend was diagnosed with cancer, the first thing he had to do was cut out processed sugar and animal products. He was told that animal products hinder the body's fighting mechanism against cancer. Anyone else heard of this?

I checked out one of the references that Michael Bluejay used and it actually stated the opposite of what his article was all about, so I'm not sure I'd use his website for nutritional information!
Which was this MJ? Did you not find the article thought-provoking? What is it about meat/animal products that vegetables cannot provide? (This is a genuine question) I like your use of the word "designed" though. Here's another article: http://www.vega-licious.com/where-do-you-get-protein-vegan-part-i/

All I know is that we never felt so good as when we were eating no animal products. I found this article interesting. It does state that animal proteins are readily digested, so I will have to stand corrected about my previous idea that animal protein isn't really digested, I will look into where I read it and query it with them. Anyway have a read, it's very interesting. And don't forget that horses and gorillas get all their protein from plant products and I wouldn't call them nutritionally deprived. http://michaelbluejay.com/veg/protein.html#sthash.ajeEXZdq.dpbs

Thanks for this recipe. I have been looking at trying coconut yoghurt. Does it need the maple syrup or can you get away without using it? Do you have to start 'from scratch' each time, or can you keep some of the previous batch as the starter for the next one?
I'm just rushing through pages and pages of posts at the moment because I have been away for a few days so can't cross reference this, but I am sure there are recipes for making your own coconut milk and cream either on this forum somewhere or else (possibly) in the Indian cookbook or on Quirky Jo's blog. All of these options should be cheaper than buying the ready made product.
Hi, I read that the maple syrup feeds the culture, that's all. I have a thermie cookbook that had coconut yoghurt in it but it still had dairy as an ingredient so I couldn't use it. Tapioca flour is arrowroot, grinding sago in thermie is the same thing. The brand I love (Coyo) has all these ingredients so I was keen to try it. If anyone has another recipe I'd love for it to be posted here. A friend was talking about a recipe where they put the jars with the yoghurt in the oven overnight with the light on. That sounded interesting. Oh and apparently you do have to start from scratch each time. If anyone does it differently let me know, I don't want to waste a litre of coconut cream/milk finding out!
