Hi from Debra Sydney Australia
« on: July 21, 2009, 01:41:34 am »
Hello all, not sure I am doing this right but I guess this and the Thermomix is still pretty new to me.  I was thrilled when I received my machine on Friday and the representative gave me an in house demonstration of bread dough, sorbet, thick custard, how to clean this little gem and walked me through some of the many things I can do with it.  I saw it on a show here called Masterchef Australia and when they put all the ingredients in the machine set the time temperature and speed and walked away and did other things, then a short time later poured out a Sabayon.  I knew I had to have one. Hoping to get lots of info from you guys as I have many questions spinning in my head.

Welcome Debra.  All is good - we are friends here.  Most of us are happy little Vegemites, living in the land downudner, so be not afraid.

Welcome Debra. This is a wonderful site, you learn so much from all the happy little vegemites/Thermomixes. :P
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Welcome Debra - I hope someone is keeping a tally of how many TMX's are being sold due to the showing on Master Chef. Well done for choosing it because of a short segment on that show. If you do a bit of reading of this forum, you will soon learn how much we all love it  ;D ;D ;D and also our members are so friendly and willing to help too.

Welcome Debra, good on you for jumping right in.  No doubt before too long you will divide you life into BT & AT & marvel how you did things in the bad old days!!

Hi Debra,

I'm brand new to TMX, too.  Mine also arrived on Friday...it's only 3 days old now :)

I noticed you mentioned the Sabayon as shown on Master Chef.

I looked it up on google, and with cutting and pasting, here's the TMX recipe.  Enjoy!  Fran (frannie)  ;D
PS.  Don't know if this recipe has been included as one of the desserts already? 

Sabayon (Serves 4)  as shown on Master Chef, Channel 10, July 2009

5 egg yolks
100g (about ½ cup) caster sugar
1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
2-3 tbs freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbs dark rum

To make the sabayon, place all the ingredients (using 2 tbs orange juice) into a Thermomix (see note below), secure the top and set for 8 minutes at 80 degrees celsius on speed 4. Alternately combine egg yolks and sugar in a large heatproof bowl and whisk with balloon whisk until the sugar dissolves and mixture is pale and creamy. Add the nutmeg, 3 tbs orange juice, vanilla and rum and whisk until combined. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water) and cook, whisking gently and constantly for 8-10 minutes or until the sabayon starts to thicken, take care as it curdles quickly.

Welcome!

Not being from your "neck of the woods" and also pretty new, can't offer much, but I know you will get lots of good help here. I sure have.
