Wow, what a helpful and friendly lot you TM owners are! Thank you all for such a lot of wonderful comments and tips for me to perfect my breadmaking. I shall now spend my afternoon looking at all you recommend and start again.
Could I just ask achookwoman (what a wonderful name that is?) what Isi's roll recipe is and where I find it?
The creme brulee I made on my first day tasted really good but it was a tiny bit overcooked. Not knowing any better, I followed the recipe from the recipe book that came with the TM, which said that it may need even more cooking than the time stated. That taught me a lesson, because I didn't check the consistency until the recipe time was up and it had become a tad too thick already. However, as I said, it tasted lovely and once I had put a caramel topping on, I was very chuffed. I shall cook for a lesser time next time and keep checking.
I have since made a few more things, wonderful pastry (Rich shortcrust recipe) that was just the very best pastry I have ever made. I also made the Quiche Lorraine, both these from the recipe book that came with the TM - this was just fabulous, although I did change the cheese type to cheddar, as that was all I had. The result was out of this world.
As you can probably tell by now, I just love my new toy and shall be constantly looking for new things to try. If anyone has any favourites they could recommend, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks, once again, for all your kind help. I'll report back when my bread making has improved.
