And so it begins ......

[snappy]

Hi, 

A bit about me to start - I'm Snappy and I'm from Sydney.  I've got two little boys and I work so things can get pretty hectic around here.

I purchased my thermomix on Tuesday and I am now eagerly awaiting its arrival.  I've been lurking around the forums for a while so I've picked up plenty of tips and recipes.  I'm baking addict (not great for the weight) and I've been thinking about all the wonderful recipes that I want to convert - Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Scrolls are first on my list - they are little bites of heaven.

I've also managed to get In the Mix recipe book so I'm going to have a thorough look over that tonight because I'm trying to decide what will be the first things cooking in my new little friend!  Tenina's Umami paste is probably #1, some blueberry jam maybe?  And once I get a little bit of experience I am jumping straight into cultured butter - so delicious and having a thermomix means I am going to be able to make my own!  And of course lots of snacks for the boys - rock cakes, oatmeal cookies etc.

And in my forum lurking I understand there was a recipe for Pretzels in last year's Festive Flair booklet - I have found the review but not the recipe - would anyone be able to point me in the direction of this recipe?

Hiya, welcome aboard

you will find that most recipes from books will not be on the forum

Except when they are, I've never quite understood why some do get posted and some don't (say like the Chicken in Yoghurt from the Indian Cookbook, or the Butter Chicken & Tikka Paste recipes also from the Indian cookbook)

I did realize that the Tikka Paste recipe was on the forum ,thanks tarasis

ciao

Hi snappy, welcome to the forum.  There are a few recipes from books on the forum but we can't overdo it or we will get into trouble with H.O. Perth.  I will pm you the recipe you want.

Thanks to JudyDawn for the recipe - with this rainy day pretzels would be great.

I'm so keen I've even been shopping for supplies today - want to make sure I have everything I need when my thermie arrives:

flexible spatula (not for using when blades are running)
silicon muffin cups
a glass jar for umami paste
a gorgeous butter container

When I can work out how to attach images I will put up some pictures of my finds!

I love this.. I bought something new, hence I need to buy 5 more new things to go with it...    That is so something I would do!

It's this forum!  I keep finding out about things that I *need* to go with the thermomix - I hear a vacuum sealer is the perfect partner!

They certainly are handy Snappy.
