Pureed Zucchini
4 large zucchinis, peeled and chopped into quarters, pureed at speed 8 for 20 seconds, cooked at 100C for 10 minutes, and pureed again looks like this:

Mashed Pumpkin
I made some mashed pumpkin for baby’s first foods, other than Farex.
Peeled and cut up a whole Jap Pumpkin. It ended up being about 1.8 kilos of pumpkin. I put in 1 kilo of pumpkin, then chopped it for 20 seconds on speed 7. Added 1 MC of water, then cooked it at 100C on speed 3.
Once it was done, I pureed it some more at speed 8 for 20 seconds.
Nice and creamy and baby LOVES it!
It did stain the bowl though ….

Restaurant Quality
An interstate friend visited us tonight. I decided I’d make Thermomix Risotto – it’s what we now call the Mushroom Risotto. Nice, easy and no fuss. I added 8 rashers of shortcut bacon to saute with the onions, but the rest of the recipe stayed the same.
“Oh, wow! This is restaurant quality!”, exclaimed our friend.
If that’s not a success, I don’t know what is.
