Why? Probably because it is such a versatile recipe. A Pithiviers is a sweet pasty-like dish made with rough puff pastry which originates in a town of the same name in Northern France. Pithiviers is originally filled with delicious almonds and fruit but also lends itself to many types of filling both sweet and savoury, hence why chefs love it. <br /><br />This Crab and Prawn Pithiviers recipe is one of my favourite savoury ones; a true beauty as once prepared it is then frozen and can be cooked in twenty minutes straight from the freezer.

When they talk about the machine they use words like "precious," "perfect," "amazing." So how come a kitchen machine can evoke such reactions in these normally tough guys? <br /><br />A while back I got to spend a pleasant morning and ate a very enjoyable lunch made entirely with the aid of the Thermomix, I became a total convert and wanted one so badly. I saw clearly how this little German-made kitchen wonder and work-horse will save me oodles of time, energy and importantly, money. All that and it looks good too.<br /><br />Now I am close to seriously thinking about investing and wondered what anyone else has to say about them.
