Hi Stef, welcome to the wonderful world of Thermomix!! It's great to be able to cook from scratch so easily, and know what's going into your food, isn't it!  We avoid wheat, dairy and refined sugar, and additives, preservatives, colours and soy as much as possible too.  I make my own chocolate without soy lecithin! Recipe here! Couldn't bear to not have ANY chocolate!!  ;)

Hope you get lots of inspiration here, and we look forward to your recipes!! Will checkout your FB page, being a FB addict and all... I have a blog and FB page for allergy friendly recipes called 'Quirky Cooking'. :)

lucky for me i still can have dairy..  but all the rest of chemical foods is out of the house.. The last weeks i canned about 60 kilo of tomatoes.. that makes almost a year suply :) you should see my celar: it is full with glass cans: jams, pickallily, ketchup, tomato, applesauce, poached pears, chickenstock, and so on.. And now with my thermomix i can try out so many new things :)

Hi Stef, I just break it into bits and freeze or refrigerate it in a ziploc bag - I don't think I've had a problem with it crystallizing, but maybe that's because it doesn't last long here! ha ha  :D

 :o :o :o wow stef! I knew Belgium was on the map for their chocolate  :D

You should put your recipe under a new topic where the recipes are so that more people will find it. I am very impressed.
