The perfect way to finish any Thermomix meal is an amazing dessert
My favourite is the buttermilk bread rolls from “For Food’s Sake”, so soft and beautiful. I’m also keen to make the brownies and have found the Crio Bru. Hmmm…that could be my Friday night sorted.
Yup Lesley — I totally agree. Especially if it’s the salty/sweet type of dessert ;-)
Hi Anne-Marie; I haven’t tried the buttermilk bread rolls yet… thanks for this recommendation!
I aspire to be half as good a Thermomixer as Tenina already is .. my favourite recipe is: the craisin and pistachio shortbread .. instant winner for me!
Love the caramelised garlic paste, great in sandwiches and as a topping for steak, sausages, whatever :)
Loving these recommendations Fiona and Robyn! I have my favourite Tenina temptations… but you are inspiring me/us to try new ones :)
Made the Hazelnut Meringue with Choc/Criu Bru Cream and Strawberries last week – was a huge hit with everyone! It was SOOO devine…definitely make it again as it was easy to make too !
ooooh Kate, you ARE ambitious! And I bet you are popular too, making decadence like that happen right in your own kitchen ;-)
I love Tenina’s Scented Shortbread biscuits. These are incredibly easy to make and very versatile. I use this recipe for a lot of different types of biscuits.
I haven’t downloaded the e-book yet as I’ve just about used up my limit this month!
Definitely the flavoured-sugar shortbreads from “For Food’s Sake”. They take literally 90 seconds to mix up…and then you have to entertain yourself for what seems like a lifetime as they bake for 30 minutes. However, well worth the wait, and they are my stand-by “holey moley, friends are coming over” baking.
Lisa and Megan… I think you two talking about the same biscuits… pg 121 of For Food’s Sake? Yowzah, I’m sold! Gotta try me some of that sugary shortbread for the upcoming cookie season. (maybe I’ll mix up a batch of chili sugar!) I love recipes like this that are wide open for personal creative tweaking.
Love the craisin and pastiche shortbread always make it as a Christmas gift for my friends that I don’t buy gifts for to thanks
Thanks Kylie! Somehow I think you are not alone in favouring that recipe ;-)
i always make the stuffed and steamed chicken rolls. so easy and always a hit!
There are still many recipes I haven’t had a chance to try, but the Beef Basil dish with many variations depending on what else is in the fridge is popular in our family.
Thanks carlien and Uli, it’s great to hear about more successful ‘family favourites’!
I am new to Themomix and am just finding out about Tenina’s wonderful recipes. Would love to make the citrus curd and spread it on the buttermilk bread rolls.
I don’t have the privilege of having Tenina’s book (snif, not available in Ireland/UK and shippings from Australia are just too steep for me) but I have peeked at a few of her videos and the latest one with the homemade chocolates has to be my fav’.
Hi Lorraine — it sounds to me like you are already well on your way with Thermomix! That combo sounds perfect… sweetly sour curd on fluffy home baked rolls, omg ;-)
Nora — you are in luck. I think there will be more ebooks from Tenina in the future and shipping will no longer be such an issue for those of US who live far away. Yipeeee!
What a wonderful idea, an ebook with recipes for the Thermomix, no shipping, instant fun!. I’ve got my thermomix only since a couple of months, but I use it everyday…. wish I had known it years ago!
While the rest of the family would love sweet dishes, I’m the one who likes savoury the most. But choosing one tenina recipe would be impossible for me…….umami paste, moc rice, advocaat, lebanese toum, they are all so good!
Thanks Karine – I think you’ll find that you use Thermomix more and more each day as time goes on. I also think Umami paste might be my fave Tenina recipe.. or at least for sure the one I’ve done the most often ;-) I think some of the other ‘favourites’ you mentioned might be my recipes though… Here’s that Mock Rice, and the mock Advocaat, and the Toum!
I love the Coconut Milk Custard – the grandkids just love it – an easy desert
Thanks Debbie!
The Umami paste is my favourite. Adds flavour to any dish!
I’m with you Robyn!
I love love love salted caramel sauce!! Freshly made, the warm gooiness seeps over cold clumps of vanilla icecream…such a comforting treat!! Yum yum yum!
Great review on this recipe Sharnee… I know who to call next time I’m lost for words for this blog. You have the gift of gourmet gab, lol! I am SO tasting this as I read it and YES, love the salty sweet here too!
Just bought my Thermomix, and can’t wait to start trying all these beautiful recipes!! Hope I stay on track with the diet!! LOL
Dear New Comer — Well, about that diet…. I suggest you go crazy making all the yummiest things you find all over this blog and in Tenina’s recipe books. The secret is to SHARE the goodiness. Make and distribute before taking a bite! That way, if you send it out to others, you will eat less. I have struggled with this too and I can say, sharing is more fun than dieting ;-)
Wow! I just ordered “For Food’s Sake” yesterday and can’t wait to get it.
It’s hard to pick a favourite as there are so many I really like but for today, I’ll pick “Chicken Salad with Vietnamese Dressing” from Dinner Spinner.
Love the citrus curd.
Dot and Jen, those are two of my favourites also — although the citrus curd is somewhat ‘dangerous’…
EVOO Lemon Tart is my favourite – it’s always a hit with guests.
Hi Julie – that’s great news! I find that guest generally really appreciate anything made with real lemon. It seems to really titillate the taste buds, this one is a winner for sure!
I want to experiment with the icecream recipes!
Dear “Iwantone”… I hope you got yours ;-) For sure you will have a great time sampling Tenina’s frozen desserts — impossible to resist.
I am new to Thermomix and glad to find help available
I have just purchased my Thermomix, and only tried the recipes from the everyday book. My friend has the spin a dinner app, which looks great so that will be my first recipe purchase.
My family LOVE Tenina’s Butterscotch Self Saucing pudding. They would have it every day if possible!
Mandy and Dodi – you just can’t go wrong with Tenina’s recipes. They are easy to follow and always delicious. We’re so lucky to have such a reliable fountain of a woman who keeps spewing forth great Thermomix recipes for the rest of us. (Of course I mean ‘spewing’ in the best way possible!)
Ann-Maree — Okay, I would take it every day too, if possible ;-)
I haven’t tried one yet, though have browsed extensively! I’m thinking that he Parmesan sage shortbread looks fabulous though :)
I just keep on doing the quick, easy, delicious chocolate icecream!
Definitely the divine Lemon Curd. Scrumptious. Goes with everything. Sweet & savory.
Hi Caroline — yowzah, you serve the Lemon Curd with savoury foods? How interesting… I’d love to know more about that… To me it’s a sweet treat all the way but I love sweet and savoury together and my ears and mind are open to your suggestions ;-)
Are you serious…. one favourite is impossible….. the best i can do is three…Citrus curd….salted caramel sauce….umami paste….YUMYUMYUMYUM
I know Kylie, it’s a tough call right? You just listed the three Tenina recipes I make most often too ;-)
(First I’m not entering, I already have the ebook)
My fav Tenina recipe, and I think in part it’s because it was my first introduction to her, is her Chocolate Ice-Cream http://tenina.com/2008/06/all-scream-for-icecream/ it’s scrummy and I say that as someone who isn’t that fussed on having desert. (More a savory person, starters at a Chinese or Indian are deadly for me)
Right on Robert and Juanita! That chocolate ice cream is one I’ve not tried yet, because I’m in the same camp as Robert when it comes to savoury vs sweet. But then again, chocolate has had it’s way with me in the past, so there’s definitely room for more chocolate in my world. Thanks for your input.
Congrats carlien we are all very jealous :-)
Ohhh looks so good
