Hi my name is Jackie Healy and I live in New Zealand and I have had my thermomix for about 3 weeks now. What a difference it has made for the first time I am trying so many different things like making bread and they are turning out I so love the healthy cooking especially as I am a diabetic I can say how much sugar goes into jams and they taste soooo good. I did find that if you knead the bread for 3mins instead of 1.5mins that it rises better. it is making cooking interesting again and I love the clearing up 1 bowl and blade fantastic.
