Frequently Asked Questions
Recipes and Cooking Tips
Do you have Thermomix recipes?
Definitely! To see every recipe that's compatible with Thermomix, just head over to our "thermomix" tag on freshplatejournal.com.
I don't have an ingredient, can I replace it?
Cooking's all about experimenting! If you're out of an ingredient, feel free to check our "tips" section for possible swaps or alternatives.
Can I adapt the quantities of a recipe?
Absolutely! Every recipe shares how many people it serves. If you need more or fewer servings, change the ingredient amounts to match. Just be sure to adjust cooking times when upsizing or downsizing.
Do you provide nutritional information?
You'll find nutritional details on many of our recipes, though not every single one just yet. We use a mix of AI estimates and automated calculations, so the info is for guidance only.
If you have health issues, allergies, or special dietary needs, it's best to check with your doctor or a nutrition expert first.
