Eloquy, because I'm not an instinctive cook, when I got my machine I stuck solely to recipes in the books, and latterly to the forum.  I found that I got hooked on risottos pretty quickly so, when I reaslised what I was doing, I made one promise to myself - that I would try at least one new dish each week  That's the easy part - the hard part, I quickly realised, was deciding just what that new meal / dish would be (due to our personal situation, I am only able to cook on a Sunday, so I have a slightly different time frame to just about everyone else on this forum).

Anyway, now I am into the routine and spend Friday nights planning my market shopping on Saturday so that I am ready to get to work to cook our week's food on Sunday - usually with several new recipes to tackle each week - it's such fun!

Welcome Eloguy. I would start with recipes from the forum as they are tested or converted by other TMX users. Hope you really enjoy your TMX

Hi VHJ, I love your profile note about adolescence being a time of great change.  So true!!

Certainly true in our house. Just see the DS17 emerging from the tunnel as a pleasant human being and DS12/13 is entering it spitting and sulky.  :(

Welcome Eloquy to the world of TMX especially this forum - I have so enjoyed reading the previous posts following your introduction and definitely agree that following recipes from here initially is the best way of getting to know your machine. Looking forward to hearing of your thermie adventures!!!!!

Welcome to the forum Eloquy.  You'll have many special times with your TMX.  I'm also in the UK, mum to 3 boys (9, 6 and 3) with their food fussiness which I generally ignore - there's always a choice in our house, eat it or leave it, you'll get nothing else!

Whereabouts in the UK are you - I'm in Hampshire.

Hello Eloquy from another recent UK newbie.  There are some fantastic recipes on this forum, tried and tested by members.  I have tried a few but still experimenting as not long had thermie and cooking just for me.  Going to try Isi's rolls /bread tomorrow.   As  people advise its best to stick to recipes from here or the thermomix books at first. Hope you have lots of fun cooking for you and your family with your TMX.
