Hi Im from St George Area Sydney
« on: May 17, 2013, 07:00:54 am »
Hi I'm Maria - household of 6 being 5 males and I .. New To Thermi world. Main drive was a little more creativity in the kitchen a little less time in the kitchen and above all clean eating without processed food especially for my boys. Any tips for fussy 4, 6 and teen would be great and any tips for "how to convert recipes would be hugely appreciated. Finding meat/fish/poultry in the varoma tastes bland. Had my machine for a week and trying to make friends with it. :D

Welcome Maria.
As GF suggested tell us what your family likes and we can suggest some tried and true recipes. Baf's chicken is a nice dish and very easy. ( on my iPad and don't know how to link, sorry).

Welcome!
from a house of girlies and one chap...

The corned beef in the varoma is a steam dish and a good one.
I too am not au fait with the linking!  Here it is for you Gillian.

If you can take a look at 'in the mix' there's an Asian beef and stir fry recipe in that , that I've tasted and it's excellent... though I've not made it myself.

In the full steam ahead book there's a recipe for a kilo of tuna that you steam with veges and a lot of olive oil I seem to recall... I have done that a year or more ago for a dinner party... but the tuna was prohibitively expensive and although tasty, it did use a lot of olive oil!

I have discovered that organic or free range chicken just steamed in the varoma is surprisingly tasty - I do realise that i'm a little slow to join the whole steaming party here!!!

Not sure if anything there helps... good luck!

Gillian
PS re converting recipes - I'd suggest that you tell your household that you need some expert taste-testers and give them score cards and a league table. and then work your way through the dishes in the EDC... you could even jazz it up a bit... and have them score not just taste, but texture, visual appeal, repeat-ability (ie how often could you make it and they'd eat it... not how often or how quickly it repeats on them!!!) etc...
this way you're working your way through the book, you're developing/challenging your tmx-skills, you're getting direct relevant feedback from your 'clients/audience' and you're expanding their taste palates....

sometimes this works in my household (primary school girls here)... and sometimes not...
on the other hand, my mother and husband have often compared notes about how I could talk the hind legs off a donkey and then convince them to walk off somewhere....
