Hi my name is Lindsay and have only just really started playing with my TM. I had it delivered and then 1 week later I had to pack it up :( as we were just moving to Lihir in PNG! I was so excited when my container arrived and was opened. My parents were over at the time from the UK. For my first meal out of my TM I decided to make butter chicken and then a yummy chocolate cake, my mum was so impressed that when she got back to the UK she decided to order one for herself, it is being delivered tomorrow!!!

Where I live, food shopping is quite an experience and unfortunately I'm unable to get some of the ingredients in the recipes but on the other hand, what I can get I can make meals that are of restaurant standards  ;D

There are so many nice recipes out there I'm not sure what to cook. If anyone has any recommendations, please share them with me, oh and one other thing I have an extremely fussy eater (my son) so if you know of any recipes where you can't see any veggies, please let me know.  :)

Hello and welcome Lindsay. There are several ways to disguise veges. Meatloaf, spag bol, muffins and there are even recipes for cakes with vegetables in them. Does your son like any potatoes? You can always blend some vegetables and add it to mashed potato. Good luck and check out CPs favourite list for some good recipes to start with http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6470.0

take care and happy cooking

Welcome Lindsay. There's quite a bit of discussion on here about hiding vegies. Here is one of them.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Hi Lindsay, welcome to the forum.  It's great to hear you can get enough ingredients to rustle up a wonderful meal and I'm sure you will become very adept at substituting ingredients as well.  Lovely that Mum is getting one too, guess she will be joining us here on the forum as well.  Good luck with hiding the vegies.

Hi Lindsay, I am also a new thermomixer, welcome. I made a chocolate cake with red kidney beans in it and it was delicious. Nobody could tell, the texture was different and that's about all. It was like a chocolate mud cake and so easy to do. It was an excellent way to hide kidney beans:).
