I just emailed UK Thermomix- it will be interesting to see what the reply is. Also, will email my consultant too. Thanks for everyone's advice.

I have been trying to get hold of one of these babies since October. I rang the head office AGAIN just before Christmas to be told they weren't in yet and when I rang AGAIN in February I was told they had been and gone! When I rang AGAIN just now they said they didn't know when they were coming.
Now, I may be naive...but I imagine that if I owned a business and ordered stock and it didn't arrive shortly after I had ordered it that I might somehow contact the supplier to determine a/ if the order had been shipped and if so when it had been shipped or b/ when it was likely that the order could be filled and then I would somehow communicate this to my customers.
As you can probably tell I'm pretty frustrated.

Thanks Hannah,
I appreciate the time you've taken to type all that out.
The contents look great-will definitely be buying this one.
Cheers,
Sandra

Hi Trudy,
Thanks so much for your offer- I think I should be right for southern indian recipes as I had a bit of a surf around yesterday and also looked at Kurma's site.
I did have a fantastic SI cookbook which I lent to someone ages ago and can't remember who! I hate it when that happens! Now I cant find 'Year of Wonders' and I'm desperate to read it again, so that's obviously gone off to someone else too! And dont get me started over my Twilight books. Anyway, back to food-this book was great but went something like 'fry for 1 hour, then simmer for 2 hours' so it was always a bit too time consuming.
My main problem now is that I can't get Urud dal in my town: do you know if I can substitute other dals for it? I've got lots of red lentils and a bag load of chana dal. Any ideas?

Hi CreamPuff,
If you read Trudy's post she's not actually offering to print recipes from the book, rather southern Indian recipes she has 'that haven't been adapted to the TM'.
I'm not asking for anyone to print the recipes, I'm just asking whether or not the book contains southern indian recipes as these are the ones I am more likely to use.
I've already looked on the official Thermomix site for some indication of what the index of this book might contain but as there is nothing there on the book I've turned to this forum.
I would at least like a minimum of information about the book before I spend $35 purchasing it.

Hello Everyone,
I'm thinking about buying the new Indian cookbook: Fast & Easy Indian Cooking.
Has anyone seen this book? I'd like an idea of what recipes are inside it before I send off for it....also if anyone out there knows of a really good website featuring southern Indian recipes (vegetarian) I would be very grateful.
Happy cooking,
Sandra

Hi Lorywhol,
I got my machine on Tuesday-it's still exciting for me. I've had to cut back on my cooking because we cant eat it fast enough and the fridge is full!
I wanted to make the Red Thai Curry the other night but didn't have all the ingredients to make the Red Curry Paste, so I just improvised with some curry paste i already had. I dont think you can go far wrong if you just improvise in 'a little bit of this a little bit of that' sort of way.
One thing-dont make the mistake of taste testing the vegetable stock concentrate. Ber Kerk!
For tonight: Chilli Con Carne. I've got some sour cream and corn chips to have with it, so the kids will think it's junk food. Last night I stumbled through the door just after 6 with 4 hungry kids and less than an hour later we were all eating pizza (with leftovers in the fridge). It would have taken longer than that if I'd rung up for home delivery.
Have fun!

Hi Carolyn, I'm impatiently awaiting mine too-it comes tomorrow. My fridge is virtually empty because I have been putting off the grocery shop until I can get my hands on the TM recipe book and work out what I want to make for the next week (I've printed off plenty of recipes from here too).
I'm very excited!!!!
Regards
Sandra

Sorry about that! Tuesday's 'Christmas' will no doubt be a lot less stressful than the real thing. And now the real thing will be a lot less stressful too, hopefully....have checked out the festive recipes already...

Thanks Beechy. I got it off the movie 'Hoodwinked', which is pretty good as far as kid's movies goes, still watchable after 100 or so viewings.

Hi there! I got asked if I had a TV when I was pregnant with number 4 (we're all done now!). It took a minute for the penny to drop (but then again I was pregnant!)
Good to hear that you've made so much use of your TM already.
I get mine on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone, My TM arrives next Tuesday-yes, I'm very excited!  I'd like to thank all the forum members for their many many posts. I've been a silent visitor here for a few weeks while waiting for my demonstration. Everything I read helped me decide that the TM is definitely for me, plus I got quite a few laughs reading them. Does anyone have any failsafe first recipe suggestions that a complete newbie can tackle? Also I would appreciate any suggestions that come under the heading of 'the kids will scoff it down without complaining'. I had to write a 'how to behave at the dinner table' social story which explained that when mum hears the words 'this is disgusting' it makes her angry. Apparently merely yelling didn't get the point across. Cheers to all, Sandra
