thank you again!!! you are a legend

[MrSpock]

Melissa, you've done a great job with this thread while this lazy bum was drinking margaritas by the pool all summer long. I promise I'll give it a go to translate a few of your requests, now that the evenings are getting shorter and colder!

I also have a request of my own: would it be possible to have the Zucchini Bread recipe?

Thanks again for your hard work. I know it takes some effort to write up those recipes, but it's great to have everyone's feedback on them.

[CarolineW]

As promised, below is the index of recipes for the Canadian/US recipe book, which is called "Recipes for Easy Cooking With Thermomix" . Please let me know if anyone would like some of these recipes and I will be happy to pass along.

For all those Aussies out there, I understand there is a Lunch Box and After School Ideas cookbook - does anyone have that?

The ones which I would love, please Melissa, would be:

Banana sour cream coffee cake
5 minute fudge
swedish meatballs
chicken pot pie
BBQ dinner
stuffed zuchini

I haven't finished checking through the thread to see if anyone's already given you the After School Ideas index.  If not, I'll post it for you later.

[CarolineW]

I've looked through the thread now - how did I miss it before    I think that I've posted the UK contents list somewhere on the forum, but not sure where to be able to link to it here.  Does anyone remember?  Or am I just dreaming it?

What a lovely offer, thanks 

I wonder if you'd mind giving us the translation for the chocolate fudge recipe which is in the French book?

[dramktg]

Bonjour Caroline, This would be the FONDANT AU CHOCOLAT on page 112
Thermomix : 7 minutes + Oven: 30 minutes
Ingredients: 250 g of chocolate / 150 g of sugar / 125 g of butter / 50 g of flour / 6 eggs / salt
1) Preheat oven to 180 C
2) Insert the butterfly in the bowl. Add the egg whites and a pinch of salt and set to 4 min at 37 C, speed 3.5. Put aside the aerated (en neige) egg whites in a salad dish and remove the butterfly.
3) Put the chocolate in pieces in the bowl and mix 10 sec at speed 9. Scrape the sides of the bowl with the spatula to make the cacao fall to the bottom.
4) Add the butter in pieces and mix 2 mn at 50 C, speed 2
5) Add the sugar and egg yolks and set to 30 sec at speed 4
Scape the sides of the bowl with the spatula and add the flour and set to 20 sec. at speed 4
6) Pour the mix in the salad bowl with the egg whites and mix delicately
7) Pour into an buttered oven baking dish,  22 cm in diameter and cook approx 30 mn at 180 C. The blade of a knife should come out moist but without any of the mix sticking to it.

You'll have to bear with me for some of the English cooking terminology.
Best regards,
Michel
