Hi Kathy, you're going to love it!

Hi and welcome to Kathy from Melbourne - do as much reading from this forum as you possibly can before your delivery.  Knowledge is certainly power when it comes to the TMX and you've bought it at the best time of the year - cold weather is a perfect time to be cooking up a storm.  I got mine just as summer was approaching and with the high temperatures we all had last year (I was actually in Melbourne when you had your hottest day in 70 years I think it was) the machine didn't get used as much.

Thanks everyone.

One of my families favorite deserts is Lemon Meringue Pie, which for some reason I just don't like cooking. BUT I can't wait to give it a go in Thermomix! is there a recipe on the forum??

[brazen20au]

i'm sure there is!

[judydawn]

There's one in the everyday cookbook that comes with your machine Kathy - if anyone has tried it, please let Kathy know if is OK to do as is or does it need tweaking.

Thanks JD - haven't tried it and don't have it in front of me.  DOes the meringue get beaten at 37 or 40 degrees?

Also, check out Tenina's site - this link is for a search - you'll find 2 recipes for the sort of thing that you desire.

You will find that the meringue recipe from the cheesecake will work better than that described in the pie recipe.

You can make your own pastry as per the Everyday cookbook if you don't want to use the sour-cream pastry.  But, sour-cream pastry is one of Maggie Beer's favourites, so you couldn't go wrong.

Hi Kathy - just realised that you are a Melburnian - yippeee another Victorian.  What suburb are you in?

[judydawn]

In my book Thermomixer the egg whites are just beaten, no temperature used but in the new book that Kathy will get with her machine, maybe this recipe has been improved.  From what I have been reading lately about beating egg whites, it won't work unless you use a low temperature.  This is where our newcomers may not have success with their recipes because they are not written up correctly and I was hoping someone could set her right before she attempts this recipe. Hopefully she will refer to the sites you have mentioned and get a better picture of what she has to do.

Thermomixer, can you tell me how I can print out a recipe from Tenina's website without getting 8 pages of different listings.  All I wanted was the Italian Citron Meringue Cheesecake recipe and I got all the other stuff (a nice way of describing it!)

[Thermomixer]

It may be something that could be included in a newsletter.  Tenina did mention the changes in a post HERE, but there will be many who have not heard that they should use some heat.

Sorry Tenina - didn't think that you had enough to do.

Hi Kathy and welcome! I know that excitement all too well, I have had my machine now for almost a month

I have the new book and the egg whites are beaten 3-5 min 50C speed 4. Does that help?

[Thermomixer]

Thanks Rowyfo  , in the Italian books it is only 37 deg - but if you are not beating for long there may not be much diference.

Judydawn - you can just open a new Microsoft Word document, go to the recipe, highlight the text  by holding down the left cursor and scrolling over the text you wish to copy, while it is highlighted you can then either point to the text with your cursor (don't touch the left cursor yet!) and then right click and hit Copy and then go to the open Word document and right click and hit paste, then you can print that page.
or, while the text is highlighted, left click and HOLD while you drag the cursor down onto the Microsoft Word icon in the Task Bar below with Document 1 (or whatever it says) and then onto the blank page and let go of the left cursor - it should all appear there.

Hope that makes sense.
