Hello from a newbie cook in Spain!
« on: April 15, 2010, 11:19:37 am »
A warm hello to the moderators and fellow Thermomix users in the forum.

My name is Dominique and I live in the north of Spain. I stumbled upon this forum while googling for new recipes and I've been reading your contributions for a while. Then I decided to register, attracted by the friendly atmosphere and creativity I find here.

I've had a THX for 8 months now, and not only I eat better and healthier dishes, but I've developed a new interest in cooking. I try to be creative and bold, and I usually modify the recipes to lower the cholesterol and total fat content. I've had great disasters, but also wonderful successes. I'll try and post only the latter!  :D

Hola.  Welcome to our forum.  What part of the north are you from?  I love San Sebatian.

You are so lucky with all the TMX magazines available.

We just had one of your chefs - Andoni-Luis Aduriz, from Mugaritz, here in Melbourne recently.

Hope you have fun

Hi Thermomixer! I'm from Bilbao, the so called San Sebastian's ugly sister. But yes, we have terrific cooks here, both professional and amateur.

Magazines are okay, but I very much prefer the tried and true recipes I find in forums like Mundorecetas or the Forum dos Bimbólicos in Portugal. Those are less likely to have errors.

Welcome to the forum Niquei. Great to have such a cross cultural group here. Look forward to reading about your successes with the TMX.

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.

Thank you Meganjane! Cultural diversity is one of the things I like about this forum. I love to taste lots of different foods.

Hi N, welcome to our forum. I would love to know a little more about the type of recipes you love to cook. Do you have any sweet recipes that you have converted eg. biscuits, cakes, desserts that you love to make? or any Spanish recipes in any category that you wish to share?

CreamPuff, I love food, (who doesn't?) but I am careful with the calories and the cholesterol. I sometimes cook traditional Spanish food, but often I tweak the recipes in order to make them lighter. I have posted today a recipe for a very light yet delicious orange cake. It can be very easily "reverted" to the original not-so-light recipe. Either way, I always get good results with it.

Had my first percebes there.  Checked out the market, some good restaurants, and, of course, the Guggenheim.

The restaurant in the museum is pretty good.  Had some of the best bacalao there, confitted in oil.
