Hi from Sydney
« on: August 05, 2009, 01:53:40 pm »
My TM was delivered last Saturday, so far so good!

I was going to buy a Kitchenaid mixer and whilst 'researching' I came across the TM...lucky.
I have made a few things so far that have been OK, my stock is really salty (and I love salt) so I will reduce that next time, and my scone dough was sticky and they turned out a bit heavy, maybe because I added a bit of spelt. I have never been very good a following recipes.
I have been trawling the site over the last couple of weeks and thank everyone for the tip, I look forward to more learning.

Hi Nerida and welcome. I found the stock very salty too and we don't really use salt!! I have reduced my salt by about 100g. I use enough of it not to need it for preserving  ;D ;D

Welcome - great to hear that you are having a go - and not following the recipes - you will learn quickly.

Have fun

Hi Nerida and welcome :)

I made hot cross buns and I swear it took more time to clean the bowl than it did to prepare everything...

Have fun getting to know your TM!

Hi & welcome to the site Nerida.  My scone mixture is very sticky too (& I follow the recipe) but they turn out light and fluffy. Good luck with your cooking.

Welcome Nerida. Glad you chose the TMX over the Kitchenaid.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
