Hello from Victoria
« on: September 23, 2011, 12:33:13 pm »
Hi everyone! I joined in here a few weeks ago and have been waiting patiently to be admitted. I only got to check my spam box today and that's where I got the email from here. Lol! Anyway, I'm glad that we have this forum. I learned many things and have used a few recipes already. I never used to cook a lot (let's just say I'm spoiled) but with the thermomix, I've been trying a little bit more cooking and I really love the TM. Thanks to my hubby for letting me have one.  ;D

Hello Lady Ding, welcome to the forum.  Glad you found your 'spam' email after all that time.  You will find plenty of recipes to make in your TMX and I'm sure you will end up enjoying cooking like the rest of us.  We cook when we don't even need to - just because we can  ;)

Welcome Lady Ding. I'm glad you're enjoying your machine. What sort of things do you enjoy cooking?
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Hello and welcome to the forum Lady Ding,  friend of mine who would classify herself in the category of 'not cooking much' is having a great adventure with as she calls thermie - 'her cooking by numbers machine'.  :)  :)

Hi everyone!

Thanks for all the welcome I'm getting. I'm from the southeastern part of Melbourne.

I must admit I don't come often to check replies to my post but I come here to get some recipes every now and again to go back to the recipes I like and to try new things.

I like to do simple cooking since my family recently got converted into organic food and also raw food because a few months back doctors couldn't fix my son's coughing and chest infection >:( . After some research (on Vitamin C - I'm a big fan now and I can tell you my new recipe on how not to get a cold or make it last just 1 or 2 days  ;D), I found the way to be healthy and now we are healthier. When TM came, I found out cooking can be healthier and a way lot easier and even tastier with no additives/preservatives! Yes, we used to cook with loads of poison - MSG and all that :D.

Another thing I love about TM is that temperature can be controlled with cooking. I discovered that with diabetics, you are not supposed to cook food over 120 since high heat kills the enzymes. TM answered that! I'm diabetic (only when pregnant) so I try to be careful with my diet.

My family love the dips esp. garlic and herb dip, the tuna spread, zucchini pesto, garlic prawn risotto, hot chocolate using organic raw cacao powder, asian dumpling soup, bimby chocolate cake (which I actually make using organic raw cacao powder with only 35% raw sugar and I make them into cup cakes since they cook quickly and kids love it when they are in those sizes.)

I don't cook with the TM everyday since we sometimes just eat raw but there are times when I would use it 2 to 4 times a day. It's really a big help in the kitchen.

Anyway, I already wrote much. Hope that makes up for my not responding.   ;D

Thanks again to TM and to all of you for your help!
