Recipe Book Tweaking and Reviews!

[Thermomixer]

Hey I had a look at the download, it's only the Index pages of what recipes there are, not actual recipes. Is that what you meant? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

That is it - just the contents page - you get some idea of what is in the books, but no full recipes

Agree that it is going to take time, but wonder why consultants wouldn't recommend it to their clients and prospects.  It is in their interest I would think??

Well, I'm a Demonstrator - and I do    I encourage everyone I meet with a TMX, thinking of buying one, etc, etc, to at least visit the forum

Oh! For some reason there's lipstick all over my monitor, or maybe it's only lip marks.

Hi All,
This cake is so delicious.  A word of warning - I'd use 5 teaspoons of baking powder instead of the recommended 20 grams as I found it hard to measure the powder accurately.  The cake mixture will also double in size (at least!) when baking, so be sure to use a large cake tin.  The bundt cake tin was far too small and I ended up with a cake volcano in the oven!  Because the cake is gluten free, it will sink when you take it out of the oven too.

Tweaking - Not much apart from the baking powder thing.  It wouldn't hurt to mill the almonds for 10 seconds longer if you like a finer texture.
Taste 5/5

Cheers,

  That's a lot of baking powder.  It may be that a couple of teaspoons would be enough??  Less likely to have the Mt Vesuvius effect and more like a gentle Isle of Capri feel.

LOL - one recipe that I saw had a definite misprint with something like 1 cup of baking powder instead of 1 teaspoon - now that is toooooooo much.

I have made this recipe a couple of times and I'm sure that I don't use that much baking powder.  I would think that 1-2 should be enough.  It is not meant to rise too much, anyway, because it is flourless.
I haven't made it in a while, but I think that I reduced the cooking time too, but cannot swear to that.

I made the Butter Chicken from the Everyday book tonight and it was just wonderful. Big thumbs up.

I made the Tomato soup from the Everyday cookbook last night. It was nice,but!
Next time I think I will leave out the lentils. I usually like lentils in soup but this time they didn't seem right.  I realise they were there to thicken the soup.
I also added a little bit of milk when I served it to just dilute the tomato taste a little. I also added basil when I was making it and left out the tomato concentrate.
I will make it again but will try leaving the lentils out.

I made the Caramelized Apple Risotto Pudding for dinner tonight.(from the Vegetarian book) I only made half the quantity as there are only 3 of us. The flavour is really lovely and appley. I used unsweetened apple juice and reduced the quantity of sugar by about 2/3. It is still quite sweet so next time I'll reduce the sugar by even more. I didn't do the caramel topping, only because I was trying to keep our sugar down.
The apples need to be cut into fairly small pieces or alternatively blitzed a tiny bit in the thermomix.

It is a really lovely dessert, we had ours with a little of the left over mascarpone.

I'd like to try it with plums before they go out of season.

Did you mill the lentils first - they should be just about powder and just a thickener.  Try the tapioca -as you say it is just a thickener.

Have to check it out - I love green apple risotto with blood pudding - sorry to introduce that into a dessert stream, but it is a good combination.
