Hope you all are fine?? Strange title hey! Ever heard of a Thermomix? Let me explain....
The owners of our previous house sitting address (our lovely friends we had Christmas with) also have one and she (Delia) told me to use it the few weeks we were taking care of their little doggies but I didn't dare to touch it, it looks like something out of a science fiction film and it scared me off.
In the house we now are is also one, an older model but who cares, Delia sort of forced me to use it and I think I'm now hooked on it. I know I'm in trouble when we are leaving this house to travel again, can't do without it anymore but it's too big and expensive to buy one myself.
OK, enough talking, let me show you the monster first;
Well?? What do you think? Scary hey?
But it is soo simple and easy, you really can do everything with it. It does general cooking, chopping, crushing, grating, kneading, steaming, etc etc
There are cooking books with thousands of recipes for it and it tells you what to do step by step, here is an example;
I hope you can read it, this is the result;
Of course the bread itself has to go into the oven but mixing the ingredients and kneading the dough is being done in the thermomix and how easy is that!
More lovely things I made;
Haha, this was my first trial, oeps not all good but......
Because I really feel as I could participate on My Kitchen Rules with this machine I thought; "what the hell, lets go big....
Pizza dough.......
self made Pizza's are the BEST....
For the next bread, Focaccia, the dough has to rise, of course at a warm spot and because when it's so hot outside and we have the air condition on it's not easy inside, suddenly I had an eureka moment; "our caravan";
Nice and warm in the sun, inside it can be as warm as 35/40 degrees, it works perfect;
The dough is very sticky... (haha, I even had it stuck on my shirt)
Result;
Together with the Focaccia; Lovely!
With this one I was a bit stupid not to wear a mask as I nearly choked....
And my own Pesto;
Even made a zucchini bread (the front one);
I could go on for ever guys but it's enough for now.
Anyway I know one thing for sure; when I ever, ever get my own kitchen again, where ever in the world this may be, I'll buy this magnificent kitchen gadget, Fair Dinkum!!
(I'll start saving now)
Cheers!
