alvik wrote: Gidday Rob & Marg. We read your recipe in the latest mag for pork in the turbo oven. We bought a Eurolab turbo oven from Deals Direct off the net ($45 delivered ) and followed your recipe. Our pork was a 1kg rack with skin left on. The crackling was beautiful and crunchy and the pork was so tender. The vegies were coated with season all ( garlic ) . Yum. Looking forward to more of your recipes. We are still working but manage to get away for a month each year in our van. Next year it will be 6 weeks. Looking forward to your next DVD. Regards Alvik Hi Alvik Great: glad the pork was a success! We cooked it again a few weeks back and yep: great tasting again! We really like our little turbo oven. It's always good to get on the road, isn't it? Guess you're gearing up for Christmas right now... and planning that six weeks away in 2011! Cheers Marg & Rob

Re: Cooking and Recipes - Rob and Marg
Hi Marg, This recipe is just great - don't be put off by the relatively large number of ingredients it is worth it. I have just had a full knee reconstruction and Stuart has been doing the cooking - he can't cook - yeah right. This is his and I have adapted it for the Dream Pot or similar LAMB SHANKS BRAISED WITH SWEET POTATO, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC 100 milliliters oil Salt and pepper 1 med carrot peeled and cut into chunks 4 shallots peeled and halved 4 thyme sprigs 1/2 cinnamon stick 2 potatoes peeled and cut into chunks 45 grams pearl barley 1/2 tablespoon tomato paste 1 1/4 liters chicken stock 2 lamb shanks cut in half 2 sticks celery sliced 10 cloves garlic 3 sprigs rosemary 1 medium sweet potato peeled and cut into chunks 1/4 teaspoon chili paste 2 tablespoons honey Crusty Bread to Serve Heat oil in heavy based pan and add lamb and brown all over. Season with salt and pepper, remove and set aside in greased Dream Pot or similar. Place pan on medium heat, add Celery, carrot, shallot, garlic, thyme, rosemary and cinnamon and cook, stirring for 15 minutes. Add to pot and add Remaining vegetables, barley, chilli, tomato paste, honey. Pour chicken stock into pan to absorb juices bring to boil and add to pot. Bring to simmer and cook for about 10 minutes on slow simmer, transfer to Dream Pot and leave for approx 4 hours. Serve with crusty bread and a big stick to fight off the neighbours when you lift the lid. I hope you like it. Lesley

Take care Enjoy your caravanning Sandra Hi Sandra, Yes, we loved that low-fat fruit cake too! We'll be doing a fair bit of cooking in the turbo oven because we really like the results. And best of all, the turbo oven is SOOOOO easy to clean! Not sure what we'll be cooking next, but (hey, anyone out there!) we're always open to other recipes for the T.O.) Glad you're enjoying the DVDs. When you you anticipate being full time "Nomads"??? Cheers Marg & Rob

Rob and I haven't used the Cobb cooker a lot yet (we haven't had it all that long)... and we've tended to stick to roasts and grills. We just monitor it during the cooking process... you might do better to get some feedback regarding this from veteran Cobb users, or contact Cobb and ask them about different scenarios. You can download the Cobb cooking guide here: http://www.cobb.com.au/Instruction_booklet_Sept_09.pdfWe'll be interested in the feedback to this one ourselves! Cheers Marg

He loves his lamb shanks. We actually cooked them in the Shuttle Chef just a few weeks ago (got organic lamb shanks from the farmers' market) and it was yummy. The recipe for that one will be in the mag eventually. However... Rob's motto is "You can never have too many recipes for lamb shanks' (or something like that) so I'm sure this one is due for a tryout very, very soon! We'll let you know when we've given it a whirl. And we'll get that big stick ready... Actually last week I tried the soup of the day at some restaurant or other and it was pumpkin, rosemary and garlic soup. Talk about delicious. The next time I cook pumpkin soup it will be with rosemary and garlic... Cheers Marg

You will indeed have fun. And you know the best part? There are so many places you don't have time to visit on the first go around, that you know you'll have to do it again... and again... and again... Life's tough, huh? Cheers Marg & Rob

Re: Cooking and Recipes - Rob and Marg
Hi Marg, Speaking of pumpkin soup - to vary mine sometimes I mix some asian herbs in (garlic, ginger, coriandar, galangal etc) then add some coconut milk (light) to give the soup a different flavour. Close your eyes and your in Thailand....... Lesley
