Hi from Adelaide!
« on: November 08, 2010, 08:53:38 am »
Hello everyone,
After 2 years of saving, I've finally bought my thermomix! Alas, timing wise is not too good as there're many things going on ie full-time work and study and hence I've not had the chance to experiment much with recipes.
Currently I've tried the vegetable concentrate (must have!), hot chocolate (with grated chocolate, YUM), homemade mayonnaise, ragu sauce.
I've also tried the pasta fagioli which I like and the risotto which I still have to work on.
Not brave enough to try the Varoma yet though.
All in all, I'm excited and am looking forward to trialing different recipes in the thermie when things aren't this hectic. Meanwhile, am looking for easy, preferaly one-pot (jug) meals that I can whip up after work.
Thanks for this fabulous forum and generous people sharing recipes.

:)

Hi Cldy, welcome to the forum.  Where abouts in Adelaide are you?  Great to hear you finally got your TMX - if only you had more spare time to play with it but with Christmas coming maybe you'll get some time off then. Have a browse of the recipes on the forum, there are bound to be things you are interested in trying.

The varoma is actually quite good for steaming veggies and fish. Use it when you cook rice in the bowl - intant complete meal!

Hi Cldy,
You have certainly done well to save all your money to buy your TMX.  A fantastic reward for all that saving and hard work!
There's such a massive choice of recipes but never enough time to make them all!
Enjoy your new possession!

Thanks for the welcome.
Today I made mushroom soup (which my husband and I love) and mushroom risotto (again). This time the risotto was much nicer, suspect it's cos we used a different brand of rice and also made it with homemade stock.

Judydawn, I live near Marion. Whereabouts are you?

I'm at North Haven Cldy.  Glad you risotto was more successful this time - it is such a quick meal for busy people.
