First thanks for the warm welcome. Well it has arrived and I made the choc cake this afternoon, so easy....... hubby can't wait for me to make the shortbread. I am so excited but a little scared of this fantastic machine, can't wait to play around and learn all the things this machine can do. Need to go shopping to get some ingredients so I can make some basic things, think I might make spag bol for tea tomorrow night.

Don't be scared. Just take your time in reading the recipe properly (ie. tone down your excitement). Make heaps of things and you will soon find yourself wondering how on earth you managed preTM. When you feel confident you will be able to start converting your own recipes. Its a lot of fun  :)

I agree with CreamPuff - take the time to read the recipe!!! So glad you're enjoying it.

A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Let us know how you go with the spag bol meat sauce Kay - I haven't had much luck with the final texture of mince in my TM - have tried shop bought beef mince (in bol sauce) and pork mince (in the pork chow mein), and both have come out very finely broken up (not nice and chunky).  Don't know why....some others on the forum have not had this problem, some have..... :-\.  Let us know how you go  :)

Ali, I've given up cooking mince in the TMX as all I ever end up with is 'sausage mince' texture.

Mince texture must be another example about how we all like things a bit different. I love the Spaghetti Bolognaise in the TMX (my converted recipe) - it comes out very smooth, definitely not chunky, but I prefer it that way.  And the kids can't dodge the meat as easily.

I'd definitely give it a go.  You'll either love it, or go back to the stove I guess.  But there is only one way to find out.
