Convert traditional or thermal cooker recipes to the Cuisine Companion

As a relatively new machine to the market, there are a limited number of specific Tefal Cuisine Companion ( #TefalCC or CC for short!) recipes, especially compared to the 1000s of Thermomix ones around. The majority of these recipes can easily be converted and made beautifully in the CC. I originally shared this with in the  Facebook group and  following the incredible success people had, I decided to share further. Keep an eye on this page as I will update the guide as I discover new tricks or settings. All the recipes that I have explicitly converted can be found here along with all my own CC recipes. If you are after specific CC recipes I suggest you check out my Essential Guide and cookbook for the Cuisine Companion.

Please leave your feedback in the comments below.

Happy converting!
