I'm new to the foum and have loved reading all your posts, great dinner inspiration! I have had my TM for about 2 months now and just love it. I'm working my way through the cookbooks one dinner at a time with a goal of not cooking a main meal twice (hard to do though with some favorites).
Tonight for dinner we are having Veal Osso Bucco from Meat on the Menu. I've never had Osso Bucco, hopefully it tastes good. Just pairing it with rice and steamed veggies

Can anyone give me a good shortbread recipe and just noticed the ones posted only have cornflour not rice flour .... can gluten intollerant eat corn flour?

Tonight we had Ratatouille Terrine and Salad with Chicken Cheese and Tofu (only I didn't have Tofu on hand so we did without) from theFull Steam Ahead cookbook as well as Potato Salad from 'Thermomixen in the kitchen' here on the community. For the Ratatouille, I didn't have any egg plant or capsicum so I just improvised and put in extra zucchini and a carrot or two. It was delicious and hubby and 4 out of our five girls loved it. Not bad odds. 
Definitely recommend you try it.
Home is where your story begins.

I've loved reading all the dinner ideas!! Makes me hungry. My Thermomix arrives tonight, after kids are in bed so no dinner plans for it but might look nto some yummy dessert ideas?
Any suggestions?
I love custards and creamy desserts and have heard they are very simple to do with TX
Looking forward to many more interactions
On nights like thise my greatest pleasure is a couple of 60degree eggs over fresh steamed asparagus. So YUMMY & no more trouble than opening a can of baked beans!

Tonight I made pizza dough. Kids had ham and cheese. Adults had chicken with a BBQ/Sweet Chilli sauce. I minced frozen chicken thighs in the TM and then cooked on the hotplate before adding to the pizza. Was nice.
Had leftover Carrot cake from last nights effort afterwards. mmmmm

Because I'd placed 2 pieces of steak in each vacuum bag, I couldn't sous vide as they wouldn't fit in the bowl.
So, I steamed them in the Varoma instead! Fantastic! I left them to cool and cooked the veggies when I was ready to finish cooking the steak.
Absolutely the best steak I've ever tasted.

I'm going to sous vide some Scotch Fillet with a marinade in the bag, then flash fry on BBQ.
Will serve with mashed potato in basket and steamed mixed in Varoma Bowl.

Dinner was very simple morrocan lamb (on the grill pan), with couscous cooked in the TM using the vegetable stock (made in TM). Dessert was far more indulgent - left-over pistachio praline gelato with praline dust (all made in the TM) - sublimly delicious.

Dinner tonight was Beef Stroganoff from the EDC. Delicious! Served with pasta cooked in basket, corn cobs on top for last few minutes, green beans and broccoli in Varoma while cooking pasta. So little mess! I was amazed at how tidy my kitchen was when I cooked the entire meal in the TMX! Stroganoff went into the Thermoserver while sides were cooking.

Your TMX will come with a wonderful Recipe Book called the Everyday Cookbook, or EDC as some of us call it. It's pretty much my bible for everything Thermomix. When you have your Delivery Demo, ask your consultant for some ideas on the staples you'll need. It's a bit hard for anyone to tell you what to buy as it depends on what sort of food you want to cook. Read the EDC from cover to cover and check off ingredients for recipes you'd like to make. Hope that helps.

Hi everyone, I am still waiting for my TM to arrive, I am counting down the days now. I would love to be ready to go when it arrives..... sooo my question to you all is what ingredients should I ensure I always have on hand for quick meals and desserts. I am really not much of a cook, but would love to be a great cook. What basic meal should I begin with? Also one more thing, what cookbooks should I buy. I bought "In the mix", which I love but I'm thinking I may need something more basic. Any advice would be welcomed. :

Tonight it's beef rendang with broccoli & beans steaming above in the varoma. It is day 3 of Thermo life. Today I made porridge for breaky, singe serve worked ok. Yum Gave me the energy to unpack 3 boxes from our house move in Sept last year. That good! Then chocolate slice, adapting my old recipe, also good. Note to self: the seal MUST be inside the lid. Very messy lesson! Turmeric curry paste everywhere!!! LOve my new best friend...

Warm chicken pumpkin salad..... Recipe please!!

Tonight we had Quirky Jo's Rice (sans egg) which was fabulous as usual plus we have mega leftovers for lunchboxes tomorrow (to be honest we could probably feed one of the kids classes at school with the leftovers - perhaps we added too many veges).
Also, earlier in the week my husband made Thai Basil Chicken with Chilli from Tenina's new book. No fresh chillies in the shop so we used a dried one - it was better than a good take out (probably just as well since where we are living there is no Thai takeout, or Indian or Italian...you get the idea). Will be making it again (and again), but might triple the chilli for next time.

Tonight for dinner I'm making the split pea and ham soup from the EDC cookbook for the first time. I haven't been able to find split peas ANYWHERE, and so I'm making mine with green lentils. Hopefully it turns out okay! We're having some lovely crusty bread with our soup...and I made the butter myself!! :D

Hi! I am kinda new to the forum and all forums in general so my question may be a bit dumb but where do you find the recipes mentioned in some of the comments (like the pumpkin and chicken lasagna in the what am I cooking tonight forum). I would like to try out a couple of things I have seen so if someone could help that would be great. Also what is the "other forum" I have seen mentioned?

I'm fairly new to Thermomix and this is my first post on these forums. Tonight I made the Vindaloo from the Fast and Easy Indian cookbook. Instead of the using chicken fillets I used chicken on the bone and put it in the oven at 160C for 50 mins. I also used about 4 green chillies instead of the recommended one but we like our curry hot and it was just right, didnt take over the dish. I also made chappatis which were really nice and steamed rice.

Banana muffins - ok, not the best muffins ever, but I made a few substitutions which no doubt affected them.
CADA - my 18mth old wanted more!
Cheese and Bacon rolls - perfect!
Guacamole - loved
Apricot Chicken -Nice, daughter liked it, so its a winner
Now busy working out what I will cook tomorrow!

We had sort of Thai fish cakes, mashed potato in the bowl on Varoma temp, and fresh flathead steaming in the basket. Sautéed some onion and garlic next, then added a little red curry paste and blended it all together. Rolled lumps in flour and pan fried and served with greens. Yumm!!!

Tonight I made a super quick stir-fry with tofu, broccoli, zucchini & mushrooms...
30g toasted sesame oil and 200g firm tofu chopped in chunks(marinated in 2Tblsp tamari & 1 Tblsp mirin)
cook for 3 mins on varoma temp. reverse + speed soft
add two cups broccoli florettes, half med zucchini chopped and a handfull of sliced mushrooms
Cook for a further 4-5 mins on varoma adding a splash of water and any left over marinade from the tofu.
We just ate in on a bed of baby spinach as I didn't want to take the time to cook rice!
So quick - I didn't even start with ginger or garlic but that extra step could've definately made it more tasty!!!
You are what you eat - so eat beautiful food

Tonight we are having Pumpkin and Chicken Lasagne. Smells good, is in the oven. Almost 2yo demolished a bowl of the Chicken layer as she wasn't patient enough to wait the 30 minutes to bake.

Crispy Chicken Strips were absolutely divine. Even yummy cold and batter was still crunchy.
