Failsafe Disasters (thread also in introduction page)

[mumofthree]

Hi there, I am new to this forum and have been a failsafer (intol to dairy, salicylates and amines) for the last 3 months.
When I heard about the TX I booked a demo straight away - anything to save time in the kitchen cooking food from scratch!

Unfortunately my in home demo was nothing short of a disaster. The consultant attempted to convert the failsafe recipes (from Fed Up by Sue Dengate) with 5 of the 6 dishes tried thrown into the bin. I was not instilled with confidence and am still yet to commit to buying a TX.  In theory I want one, but I am yet to be convinced that it will save me time, given the limitations of failsafe ingredients  and having to start again after throwing dishes out.

I am keen to hear from any other failsafers out there. What do they love using their TX for, what recipes really work well?
I was thrilled to just read a recent post of a failsafe chicken risotto recipe, as the one we made at the in home demo looked like glue and was so 'leeky' it was thrown out.

So please, any reasons why the TX is a must have for failsafers.  I am hoping to use it for more than just custards and rice pudding!

**I posted this thread first in New Introductions, but think it is better suited here. Apologies **

My son is fully failsafe and the thermo is a lfesaver for me!!

I follow this blog: http://failsafethermomix.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00%2B11%3A00&updated-max=2010-01-01T00%3A00%3A00%2B11%3A00&max-results=20

I make sorbets, cakes, bread, dips, bickies, rissottos, wontons, soups, pies.... it goes on.

I find it easier to convert thermomix recpies to failsafe rather then the other way around....

I made failsafe garlic bread last night and the rest of us also had pizzas. mmmm

I make garlic philly dip, which he devours, for afternoon snacks.

Homemade ice cream, pear sorbets.

The possibilties are endles!!

just saw your dairy fee too, my breaastfed baby is too, so i have to be lol.

I use nuttelex in my cakes, garlic butter, bickies etc.
sorbets are awesome for non dairy ppl.
custards with rice milk (make your own rice milk)

even more reason to get one!!
