Title: How to not double up on recipes with book purchases
Post by: jsthermie on December 28, 2011, 06:36:13 am

It's been a while since I posted on here and this is now my second in a matter of moments!

I'm wanting to collect some additional recipe books and have a question - are there books which are just a collection of recipes from all the other books? For example, I was keen to buy the Cindi O'Meara book - but I have the vegetarian, gluten free, lunch box, raw and budget books as well as the EDC. I've come across some of her recipes in some of the books I have already - would I just be doubling up?

Also - as I've never had a consultant beyond the initial purchase (only discovered the other day about the thermoserver which I don't have and didn't know about, and the bread mat) I'm having trouble actually tracking down the books - I notice only some of them seem to be available through head office - is that correct?

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great!

Thanks!

What state are you in? You can order all books from head office but if you contact head office by phone after the 3rd of Jan or via website enquiry and ask to be put on to a consultant then they will 'adopt' you and you can buy from them direct avoiding postage costs. Also you can organize a demo to get your thermoserver, as long as it is within three months of purchase otherwise you may need to buy it for $30.

Thanks Meagan,

I'm in SA - yes I had a demo & bought my machine but wasn't made aware of the thermoserver. I noticed they go for $100 on ebay so I think a demo is the way to go! I've only just started using my varoma (had my machine >2 1/2 years!) as I didn't know how to use it but thanks to the quirky jo blog I'm making fried rice and steaming chicken and veg etc., at least once a week now!

Do you know if I got a steaming demo if I'd still be able to get a thermo server? ($30 sounds very good to me!)

You can choose whatever demo you'd like. I had a Varoma demo after I received my machine. I wasn't particularly thrilled with it, but I don't steam things often.

Was that with the new Varoma format Megan?

Yes you can definitely book in to have a varoma demo and purchase a thermoserver for $30. You can also buy a bread mat from your consultant for $60 as well. You can only purchase a thermoserver from hosting an additional demo to your delivery. But in your case you will be able to buy.
