A couple of weekends ago, I tried out the Thermofestive Mystery stew from http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/. Yum! There were a lot of ingredients, but it was really easy to make.
I got to learn about some new ingredients including smoked paprika (what a wonderful smell!), and safron. I had no idea that safron was so expensive! And it really does come in threads.
Just to make things more interesting, I decided to record a podcast of cooking with the TM whilst making the stew. I had to keep pausing the recording whilst measuring out ingredients, and got my recorder covered in something (I'm not sure what), but it was good fun. Now I just have to work out how to post the podcast on http://www.blindcooltech.com/. This is a website containing podcasts about all sorts of things ranging from a review of the latest iphone ap for the blind, to an audio tour of one of the space shuttles!
I also tried out the flourless chocolate cake from the EDC. What a great cake recipe. It was so easy. No horrible creaming of butter and sugar! The other good thing about it was that the batter was runny, so I just poured it into the tin, and didn't have to worry about smoothing it out. Definitely my kind of cake.
I've been wanting to make this cake since I went to a thermomix class where it was served. It was absolutely delicious, and so was mine! It took an hour to cook, and the smell nearly drove me crazy!
Dear Amanda, did you work with the TM5?
