Hi everyone,
does anyone have the new Travelling with Thermomix book (at least it's new in the UK)?
I really shouldn't buy any new books right now, but it's on special offer and I'm tempted. Does anyone have the contents list anywhere, so that I can try to talk myself out of it / be convinced that it's a sensible use of money just at this moment?
-
I've seen it (a sneak peek). One of the recipes they used for the Australian section was a steamed meatloaf, I think. That's soooo not Australian. I can't remember the other recipes.
I think the way they get us to buy it is to say it's limited, so we have to get it quickly or miss out. I think I want to get a good look at it before I part with my money.
-
I have only recently heard of it. It's recipes from around the world isn't it? I thought it meant things to make in your Thermomix when you were travelling. Drrr.
-
You're not alone there Cookie, so did I :D :D :D I had never even heard of it and am surprised no-one has mentioned it on the forum - well I don't think they have :P :P
-
the topic surfaced during Thai Fishcakes (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4692.0). Think it was going to be offered here on the same basis as MWOC etc.
-
It is a consultant incentive this month, so will be available some time next year I would think :) I have had a quick glance at it at the team meeting but nothing more.
-
Thanks CP63, forgot all about that reference. Guess we will start hearing more of it in the new year then.
-
Yay! I earned a consultant copy - so will let you know contents when it is posted. ;)
-
Just sent a message to Nay-nay asking where this book is available - thanks for the info!!!!!
-
ummm...sorry didn't get message but book will be available through your consultant next year. :)
-
I've earnt one too! Can't wait to get it. Maybe tomorrow at out meeting?
Will let you know more when I see it. ;D
-
Oh, I thought is was a recipe book to use when you're travelling - eg camping or caravanning with Thermomix!
-
There was a couple of us like that MJ. ;)
-
I'd like a book like that, Cookie, wouldn't you?
-
I'd love one. My DH says I should do one :D :D :D :D. Even just a selection of tried and true recipes that you have used in the van/tent would be ok. I make risottos and one pan meals mainly. Things that can be whipped together quickly and easily.
-
When we go away I pull out all my favourite recipes that I think we'll use and put them in a file to take. Trouble is I can't seem to leave any of the TMX books home so the paraphernalia that has to be packed is increasing in size each time. DH jokingly said I would soon need a bag for the TMX books & recipe file. :D :D :D
-
That's my trick too Jan! Spoilt for choice, aren't we? You just never know what you might need. :-))
Ha ha
I do like the idea of a book for the camping/travelling lifestyle. Puts a whole new spin on things and opens up the world in the kitchen for a lot of travelling folk.
;)
-
i wish dh would let me take the TMX camping :( especially as we can rarely cook on an open fire and our gas stove doesn't seem to be working properly anymore :( perhaps i'll just pack it and not tell him (easy as i pack everything not him!)
-
Ha Ha! Do it Karen! He'll probably end up thanking you for it in the long run. :D
-
We're going to be in Albany for Christmas in our caravan (Yoohoo! Rainbow, where are you?) and I'll definitely be packing Herman.

MJ do you just take Herman with you or do you have another means of cooking?
-
A little 'travel' booklet would be great with some recipes that you can buy simple items at the supermarket on your travels (hello HO are you reading this???) We quite often go away for a couple of days and it is very hard not to take TM with us as he is a very loved kitchen hand, but I don't want to also lug my pantry around with containers of this and that that I keep on hand. Can I suggest a little booklet with a special buying incentive on the carrying case as well to make travel options TM friendly? Maybe a list at the front for essential ingredients to pack, but basically everything TM friendly that you just need to pack up and go with the whole carrying case.

What a fantastic idea CP :) I always pack half the pantry when we go away down south!
-
That's a great idea. I find I duplicate a lot of things in the pantry at the holiday house we rent for summer and this year will be the first time I am going to take my thermie along. I know it is not exactly roughing it but I still want to cook with less things than I would have at home because I don't want to constantly restock the holiday house. If anyone can come up with a few suggestions for summer recipes 'on the go' that would be great.
-
Maybe we could start up a thread just for quick and easy travelling recipes? I'll do that now! ;D
For selfish reasons only, of course. We're going to Preston Beach for a week in January and Thermie's the first thing being packed in the car! ;)
-
Great idea Jodi. I'll try to contribute lots.
-
Has anyone started this thread yet re travelling/ camping recipes? :)
-
I'll start one now. Hopefully lots of people will add to it.
-
Whoops! Haven't followed this thread. We do have other means of cooking in the caravan. This year I took the microwave, Turbo oven and Thermomix and I also have an oven and gas cooktop! Barely used gas cooktop and didn't use oven, only Turbo.
Herman came in handy for custard, gravy, breadcrumbs, chopping and mixing.
-
Anyway, I'm not going to re-read all the previous entries. I have always wanted to get this book. I am a TM fanatic-I want it now.
I am really sick of the stupid shenigans the way they hold back books...I am not going to have another demonstration (I've had 3!!!).
-
;D Cream puff, you make me laugh. Thankyou.
I have just ordered this book, about 2 weeks ago, when i had my varoma demo. Thanks Jo.
Hopefully should get it in the mail today.

Maybe we should bombard H.O. with our thoughts on this matter, there seems to be plenty of us out here who want the book.
As a TMX owner, we should have access to every single book that comes on the market.
-
:) Judy yes i agree.
When i bought a varoma for my Mum 3 weeks ago from HO, they did not offer me this book. My Mum has a TM21.
I told them what i had, and asked about others.
They offered me spare parts for my machine, Because of the flat rate of postage.
I think we should be able to buy the small thermosever as well.

I agree, I can't see why they have to hold them back as incentives to buy a machine or have a demo. If most people are genuinely interested in buying a machine, a half price book or a free thermoserver is not going to sway them into a decision. As JD says, if you already own a machine you should be able to purchase the book. Perhaps one of the consultants can give us their side of the story?
