Hi
« on: March 09, 2010, 09:24:30 pm »
Hi my name is Jackie Healy and I live in New Zealand and I have had my thermomix for about 3 weeks now. What a difference it has made for the first time I am trying so many different things like making bread and they are turning out I so love the healthy cooking especially as I am a diabetic I can say how much sugar goes into jams and they taste soooo good. I did find that if you knead the bread for 3mins instead of 1.5mins that it rises better. it is making cooking interesting again and I love the clearing up 1 bowl and blade fantastic.

Hi and welcome! I'm a Kiwi living in Aussie, well, I'm an Aussie too now so I straddle the ditch.

Do you know anyone else in NZ with a TM, my sis over there had never heard of it. Well, I suppose a lot of people in Aus haven't heard of it either.

Anyway, glad to hear you're enjoying your TM!

Welcome Jackie.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Welcome Jackie,  I have been subscribing to your wonderful 'Dish'  magazine.   Looking to use some of the recipes with the TMX.  You have so many wonderful foods available in NZ you will have great fun with the TMX.

Welcome Jackie! What's the Dish Magazine?
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Chookie I have looked everywhere here for "Dish' and can't find it. I'll check next time I go into the city, Borders may have it.

MJ it is a cooking magazine that Chookie said is good. From over the Tasman.

The Dish mag comes out every 2 months,  so may not be easy to find.  Here is the info. It is published by Tangible Media Ltd.,34 Westmoreland St.West, Grey Lynn,  Auckland, 1021.  Phone +649 360 5700.  Email info@dish.co.nz    Aust. sub is $60 for 6 issues.
I think it is better than any foodie mag. published in Australia.  The food photography is out standing.  Given that some of the travel info is not relevant to us , it is still good for the recipes.  Hope this helps.
