Thermomix goodies to cook at playgroup

[paperfreak]

So my playgroup mums all want me to bring my thermomix in next week, when it is my turn to provide the food and they want me to cook up some goodies while I am there, aka a mini demo.

Ahhh what to make?

I am thinking jaffa custard, dip, playdough, maybe a sorbet.. what else?
Nothing that takes too long, or needs baking or setting.

Also maybe I can take in a few mini plastic containers and making some jam with agar agar that they can take home as a souvenir, or some milo to take home!

What recipes best show off the features of a thermie?

I'd do custard and maybe a dip. Then take along a cake you have made in it for morning tea. Maybe some playdough you have made at home so all the kidlets can have some. Don't plan on doing too much or you will not have fun and the children will get bored.

I think what you have suggested sounds good. I think I would make the play dough first to keep the kids happy and go from there.

The menu you have picked shows off lots of the feature of the thermomix.  I like the idea of a cake made at home as well. If it is cold a soup would  be very nice to finish on. If the other mothers have not seen the thermomix in action they willl be amazed.

Are you a consultant or planning to be one? I have 'sold' about 6 thermomixs with a few others waiting and saving for them. Its a great machine to show off

Nope not a consultant... I think my playgroup mums are just sick of hearing about it, so they wanted their own little demo. Will pass them all onto my consultant if they decide to buy... which they all tell me that they will, when they convince the husbands!

Definitely custard (any kind), prebaked cake/cupcakes/muffins, several dips, and if the weather is warm, maybe a cold soup ie gazpacho or the red lentil soup from the EDC if it is cold weather- maybe along with the easy breadrolls recipe ( obviously also prebaked). The play dough with different food colours would also be a hit. If you have warm weather a sorbet will always impress, basically because it is so quick, easy and tastes brilliant. Otherwise, do a mushroom risotto or some other kind of risotto as the results are always perfect without having to lift a finger!

Thanks M   and good luck with your show and tell at Playgroup   the milo may be an issue with nuts in your Playgroup (not sure of the rules) but the jam is a great idea

A lemonade or some other drink would be fast and something for the parents and children to sip
on while they watch the rest of the mini demo. Good luck with it all.

Oh yes, a lemonade is a good idea too. Forgot about that one.
They are going to one spoilt bunch!
