What are you been cooking today

[Kimmyh]

Thanks bonsai.  I like the idea of making my own rather than having a can.  Think I need to buy that Indian cookbook too

Oh can't wait to see the masterpiece

[Amy :-)]

The quiches look superb Maddy, thanks for making them

I'll have to make another slice today... or muffins maybe. They last one has mysteriously disappeared even though I only made it on Monday and there are only two people eating it... and the container has disappeared too

[Mama Fergie]

Possibly under DB's bed Amy 

[Amy :-)]

Gosh I hope not MF But now that you mention it, that is probably the most likely place!!
If his room is full of crumbs and ants, I'm not cleaning them up

I think Maddy probably didn't peel the zucchinis, Judy.  I tend to peel mine but wouldn't if they came out of my garden .  Sadly had a failed crop this summer.  Not sure what happened... Never mind - it'll be upward and onward next time...

[JulieO]

They look so good Fundj.   

[Yvette]

Very nice Uni 

[Amy :-)]

Delicious looking rolls Uni

GF, I never peel my zucchini and my quiches are never that green. I wonder if its just a trick of the light?

There is a recipe for coconut milk in the Thermomix Indian cookbook. I use desiccated coconut but you can use fresh if you can get it.
Blitz 100-300g of fresh coconut speed 8 until fine, or weigh in desiccated coconut.
Add water -3 times weight of fresh coconut or 6 times weight of desiccated coconut.
Cook 5-20 mins 100 C speed 4 (depending on weight of ingredients) until steaming
Blend 30 secs speed 8
Strain through muslin lined sieve to produce thick coconut milk.

The recipe says you can add more water and repeat process for thin milk but I found it quite watery and not worth doing - might be better with fresh coconut.

Tis recipe is really quick so you can whip some up at short notice. I freeze leftovers.

I found it too watery to bother doing the second lot of liquid, and I used fresh coconut. I am going to use the ground coconut to add to DH's coconut ice cream, just like the coyo ice cream that he loves (which is around $9 a tub!). I have no need to dehydrate it to use as coconut flour as I have a big bag in the cupboard.

well they look delicious anyway!

I made some washing powder this morning (okay, so it's not really cooking... But I used thermie) and have some value added bread on its first rise now. Have no idea what to cook for dinner, really couldn't be bothered.
