Your Thermomix Delivery and Veggie Stock Paste

 

Step 1: Buy A Thermomix

Step 2: When it arrives – Veggie Stock Paste is the recommended recipe to make when you receive your new Thermomix. I will spend an hour with you teaching you how to use your Thermomix & we will cook this amazing recipe together as part of your training – either in person or virtually. I have Thermomix customers all over Australia, so we can do this via facetime or zoom if you are not living in Tasmania. 

You will also need to pre register on cookidoo here to activate your 30 day free trial on this online recipe platform. Your Thermomix comes with a 6 month subscription and then you can choose to continue the subscription for $69 a year. You will still have the Basic Cookbook recipes on your Thermomix if you decide not to continue or you have no access to wifi. All the recipes on cookidoo are tested by Thermomix and new recipe collections and cook books are being added every month. Start browsing recipes and creating your own favourite recipe lists. I will teach you how to use cookidoo while your veggie stock paste is cooking and answer any of your questions.

Make sure you have your wifi password handy too because you will need it to log into your new Thermomix.

Thermomix Veggie Stock Paste

This veggie stock paste is a good base for a lot of savoury recipes – 1 tablespoon is equivalent to 1 stock cube.

Please have all your ingredients ready as per the picture shown – the best bit is you don’t need to cut things up too much now that you own a Thermomix!! This recipe is really adaptable, if you are missing a couple of the ingredients it won’t matter. You may also like to add leek or mushrooms to the recipe.

Have  some containers or jars ready to store your veggie stock paste it will make about 1 litre & because of the salt content it will keep for up to 6 months in the fridge. (You will use it up before then I promise) You can also store it in the freezer but it won’t actually freeze if you use the full amount of salt.

Converting Recipes to the Thermomix

Jock’s Scottish Cook-Up

You know I love nothing better than a cook-a-long, so when I saw Jock Zonfrillo’s instagram post about his Scottish Breakfast instagram live cook-a-long I was in. My family on my Mum’s Dad’s side were from Scotland so I borrowed some family heirloom props too!! Jock did ask us to wear some sort of tartan quote “I’ll be disappointed if you don’t… not angry… just disappointed. We were going to make Glasgow Rolls with Square Sausage and we were also given a suggestion of some Scottish treats to snack on while we cook. The dough for the rolls needs to be kneaded for 10 mins – of course I did it in the Thermomix!! I milled the spices for the sausage in the thermomix too & steamed the potatoes for the “Tattie Scones”. I ened up making the rolls for a 2nd time because when I proved them in the morning I fell asleep and they over proofed!!
