Introducing Myself
« on: May 13, 2010, 12:47:33 pm »
Hi everybody,

I am very new in this forum. I've been checking some great recipes all you guys added and I would like to contribute with some that I have.

I am a Turkish girl married to an Italian living in Italy. I came to know Thermomix (aka Bimby) thanks to my mother-in-law and her Christmas gift! You know how Italians about cooking. They love to eat!  :)

To be honest I didn't know why it was such a great deal until I started using it. It's been more than a year now that I am using Thermomix. I must say I am more than pleased!

I usually cook Italian, Turkish and now also English recipes. In fact there are already few recipes from this forum that I tried. I am gonna give you feedback asap. I use different sources such as magazines, books, blogs, forums, mother's recipes...etc. I either adapt them to Thermomix or just copy them sometimes with a few modifications.

This is the first forum that I am registered. I hope it works out well because I have no experience about forums actually.

I will try to add some recipes now. I hope you like them. They are all tested and tried by me. So we can say that they are fail-safe

By the way, as a non-native English speaker, excuse me for any linguistic mistakes.

Nice to be here

Ciao ;)

Welcome Farfallina - I like the idea of some Turkish recipes and look forward to reading them.

Please don't apologise for your English - if you hadn't have mentioned it, I would not even have realised that English was not your first language.

Welcome to the forum Farfallina - how lovely to have you join us here.  Can't wait to see what recipes you are going to share with us. Don't think I have ever cooked a Turkish recipe but have done plenty of Italian meals in my day.  Hope you have fun on your first forum, you are doing well so far.

Welcome farfallina!

I love Turkish food!  I have made a few Turkish/Lebanese lately after borrowing a Claudia Roden book from the library.  I did force myself to return it, but I would love to buy it!

welcome farfallina. one of my favourite Turkish recipes is the Gozleme which is in our Budget Busters book. I love the look of your biscuits, and will give them a go hopefully over the weekend. I may need to buy a piping bag though to get the same effect as yours. you are very lucky to have such a generous MIL  :)

Gozleme? I love it too! I hope someday I add a nice recipe also for that.
I hope you like the biscuits as much as we do, be careful about the cornflour/cornmeal ingredient though. You will find the explanation in the post and comments
I am gonna pass your comments to my MIL  ;)

Welcome to the forum! I look forward to making your wonderful recipes! I also love gozleme and, of course, Turkish Delight...

Your English is excellent!  :). I wish I could converse and write in another language. :-\

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.
