Updates to EDC - JUne 2009

[judydawn]

Thanks girls, much appreciated.  Have printed off 2 copies for people I know who don't go on the forum. 25 ^o thought I'd try it Thermomixer and as you can see, it worked.

Was going to put this in demonstrator chit chat - but just as relevant here ??  Do consultants get much warning about what promos there are going to be in the different months? 

Certainly news of appearances on Masterchef, kitchen openings seem to be kept close to the chest of the Perthites ?

Hi Thermomixer - we don't get much warning at all. Usually right at the end of the month leading into the promo or right at the start of the month of the promo.

The Masterchef thing - I'd heard a very unofficial whisper from JB while she was trying to set it up, and we might have had a week's (??) notice.  Other things we usually know only a day or two in advance.

On the forum it seems that as soon as consultants know one of us is posting it here as fast as possible 

[Thermomixer]

Thanks - great to have friendly consultants on here who care 

[I Love Bimby!]

We get just as much out of the forum as everyone else does 

Its nice to be able to contribute something...

What is Thermobiz and where is the attachment?

"Please see attachment
with Thermobiz for full recipes that have been replaced as stated below"

I can't see any attachment in Brazen's post.

The answer is obviously obvious as other people know what you are talking about however I must be as dumb as a box of hammers because I can't work it out.

 

[Thermomixer]

Thermobiz is a newsletter for consultants (which I have not seen - because I haven't been converted), but the attachment has two parts (I think) the first is here

http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1575.msg13139#msg13139 and the second is

http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1575.msg13175#msg13175

Hope that is correct

Oh i completely missed the part about it being for demonstrators.

Seriously i'm a wally at times.

Thanks for the links.

I wonder why they changed the Creme Brulee recipe - it worked perfectly for me - especially putting the hot custard onto frozen berries. I would never do it in the oven again after having done it in the TM. I found the chefs I showed it to also found it worked well so this recipe is going backwards in my mind.

I hadn't gotten around to reading the recipe, but a couple of things

1 - (dont have EDC here) - I think the old recipe was really Crema Catalana - cooked and then poured and bruleed

2 - you shouldn't need to add cornflour -especially not that much

3 - it seems odd to crank the temp up in the oven to brulee the custards - much better to cool the custards and then put them under a grill/salamander or use a blow torch.

Oh, and ...

"Ingredients
3cm piece Vanilla Bean or 2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
50g Sugar
400g whipping Cream
1 whole Egg
4 Egg Yolks
2 tbsp Corn Flour
Additional Caster Sugar for caramelizing

Method
Pre-heat oven to 120ºC. Butter 8-12 ramekins and set aside.
Place vanilla bean (if using) and sugar into TM bowl and mill for 10 seconds on speed 10.
Add remaining ingredients except brown sugar ....."

.... what brown sugar ?  Poor Tenina needs us to help with proof-reading.  I mkae these mistakes all the time - but this is for real money.

Have to think a bit more about it 

[Maggie]

That's fantastic - thanks Brazen. I often wonder if it's the recipes or just me!

Does anyone know of anywhere other previous updates to the EDC are posted?

Hi Maggie,
I've only ever seen a summary of what's changed but never had the new recipes issued.  About to email all of what Karen has posted (only in pdf format).
OBTW - Welcome back 

Thanks ILB - I've been a bit of a voyeur on the forum of late, too busy with other things.

You're great at passing on hints, recipes, newsletters etc. thank you. I hope everything's going very successfully, you certainly deserve it with all the hard work you put in.

Everyday Cookbook—June 09 Edition Changes

· Mushroom Risotto—recipe replaced with original demo guide version

My edition of EDC was printed in May 2008 - is this the latest version? I cannot see the ingredients list for the risotto here to amend my recipe. Can TMXFM  point me in the right direction?

[brazen20au]

sorry there were no ingredients on the flyer sent out. hopefully they will update us with those soon

June 2008 is the latest version

Thanks Karen and ILB. I really appreciate your help.  My consultant has given up (no it wasn't Baf) and therefore I receive nothing. Not that I did when he was still demonstrating. I guess you have to be a real TMX lover to keep sharing info.

Can't you be taken under the wing of a different consultant Cookie?

My EDC book is Jan 2009 and my Creme Brulee recipe is almost the same as in the updated version that has just been listed.  Mine doesn't say to add cornflour, and it does say to cook in the Varoma not the oven, but that's about it. 

I made it today and it didn't set even after sitting in a water bath in the oven for almost 1 1/2 hours.  I did only use 2 tsp cornflour but that was the only change.  The top set, but when you distrurbed it  underneath was very liquidy, as thin as milk.  What a waste of 5 eggs.

I have just had a look at the TM recipes page on the UK site, and their recipe looks more promising and will give it a try in a few days.
