Thank you all for the welcome.
So, last night we (my DH and I) cooked cheesy garlic bread and chicken and chorizo risotto. Followed by lemon meringue pie.
The garlic bread was too thick but still lovely. Pie was a little soggy but star of the show was the risotto. Cooked to perfection!
Everyone loved it and we were very proud of the whole meal.

This morning however, tried to make scrambled egg. Failed. Miserably.
I'm making chicken with bread sauce and vegetables for dinner today.
Still very pleased with our decision to forego the honeymoon and buy a TM :)

I've been using the book it came with. Fast and easy cooking. I'm going to purchase a EDC book too.
I think I should use my cooking instinct a lot more. I thought there was too much liquid for the amount of eggs this morning but blindly followed the recipe :(
But, you live and learn as they say.

Welcome to the forum Tracy.  I'm glad your dinner went well on Saturday evening and everyone was impressed.
I haven't been too happy with some of the recipes from the book that comes with the TM although I do know that they have updated it since I got mine.  Do try some of the lovely well tried recipes on here or the English site as they seem to work out so much better.

Sparky, check this thread out - a list of one of our forum members, CP's favourite recipes.  You will find so many interesting and varied recipes there and we all agree with CP's choices.

Sparky go with your instinct. You can always add more of anything but it is often impossible to remove it. You seem to be having fun.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
