Hi my name is sharon and i don't have a thermomix YET !!!! Actually i saw one on come dine with me on foxtel whilst i was watching in my room called out DH name and got a one word response NO . How did he know what i was going to ask him !!!!
Anyway i am getting one namely because of this forum and the way you all seem to love it. I have every other cooking gadget known to man may be that why DH said no. So whilst i am saving :( i thought i would but a book together of all your recipes and hints so when it comes i will be super ready. This is a great forum and as convinced me totally that i need one !!!!

Great decision, Sharon, and welcome to the forum. Now that you have decided to buy a TMX you have taken a good first step in keeping in touch with this forum, it will give you so many ideas you will become very impatient whilst you wait until you can get your own machine and start cooking and experimenting.

Welcome to the forum Shazza :) where are you from?
-
That's great, Shazza - you'll be so organized once it comes!! Hope it's soon :)
-
I am from adelaide in south australia :)
-
Welcome Sharon, you will be super organised when you get it. I had so many recipes and ideas ready to go before I got mine from having read on here.
-
Welcome to the forum Sharon, nice to see another from my part of the world. North, south, east or west?
Love your idea of preparing yourself in advance - you will be so ready to start by the time you get your machine.
Hope the waiting won't be too long for you.
-
Welcome to the Forum Sharon. You will get lots of good ideas here.
-
Welcome Sharon, you are in the right place for advice and friends with the same
interest/ addiction! Am trying the stike through option, hope it worked! Jenny

Hi and welcome to the forum Sharon.What a great idea to get your cookbook together before your TM arrives. :)
-
Welcome you will find lots of interesting recipes on this forum
-
Welcome. You will love your Thermomix. Greetings from across the Nullabor.

Welcome to the forum Sharon and the world of TMX. You are in similar company, being the queen of kitchen gadgets, my initial response after the demo of thermie, there was no way to justify another 1. Like you, I researched and stalked the threads of this forum to find all I could - it was my husband who convinced me to purchase the 1 appliance which I would prefer never to be without. Cheers :) :)
-
I waited (wasted) two Years deciding to get it it is definitely not another gadget it truly changes lives
-
Get your husband to see a demo, my husband could not give our demonstrator his cc details quick enough after seeing the thermomix in action!
-
yes a big warm welcome, i have had my tmx for 2 months and i use it everyday, i dont know how i would survive without it now! hope it doesnt take too long to save! :(
be seeing you on here, nicky :)

Me too!! I can't wait to try all the TM recipes that I've squirreled away over the past year or so.
I first saw the TM at a demo at a friend's place. I wasn't convinced to start with as I love the whole process of cooking (including stirring the risotto!) but after being lucky enough to 'try before you buy' (I babysat TM while my friend went away for a couple of week), I realised that TM wouldn't take over in the kitchen after all... I could still be the chef and TM can be my slave! He can chop, stir, grind and mix away while I do the rest :)
Anyway, I'm still saving so TM is a little way off yet. But in the two weeks I borrowed one, I managed to make a whole bunch of recipes from the EDC and convert a few others to see how they went. Yo-Yo biscuits and a Chicken Pistachio Korma were my most successful and yummiest conversions.
Pavlova in the TM, however, was a disaster... I had to rescue the eggs with Big Red (my friend's Kitchen Aid that I was borrowing at the same time - the Kitchen Aid vs TM challenge!). Although, after having read a few forums on whipping egg whites, I'd be willing to give it another go in the TM.
-
I do hope both you girls manage to save enough to get your TMX sooner rather than later. Great idea littlerikagirl, you'd have quite a recipe book by now I imagine and how hard was it to have to give the TMX back after 2 glorious weeks. You can post your recipes you have converted if you wish, we'd love to see them. As far as pavlovas are concerned, I have found using the 50o method really makes them bulk up - had great success recently whipping 2 egg whites to fold through custard using this method and it was the best looking egg white mix I've ever been able to produce.

You can post your recipes you have converted if you wish, we'd love to see them.
Thanks for the tip on the egg whites, I'll try it out once TM has a permanent spot in the kitchen :)
Here's the two recipes I converted. Enjoy!

Thanks littlerikagirl, you would have to be the first person to post recipes before they bought a TMX.
-
wow, littlerikagirl, you must have a really great friend, i dont know how anyone could give up their tm for 2 weeks, unless of course they were on holiday! :)
well done for posting as jd said! i love korma so will check this out.
thankyou :)
