Thanks everyone. Sharon, that is exactly it. They both love totally opposite types of food.

I have a question.
When you first got your Thermomix did you start by adapting recipes you already knew how to make - or stick with the cookbook? It seems like it would be easier to  make things I know but i don't want to just stick there -  I want to make sure I am taking full advantage of it. But I am worried that getting to grips with it AND trying new recipes might be too much.

What do you think?

Thanks to you all for the welcome.

Thanks for the link Judy. That's really helpful.

CornishCream - I am in Nofolk! I wonder if there are any other Thermomixs here?

DecadentDot - What a great approach to take with your children. I have some ingredients for soup (leek and butterbean!) and bread (I usually make my own anyway so looking forward to having the dough mixed for me!). I have promised to pick up a big bag of ice before it comes so we can try making ice cream or sorbet. Thank you so much for upgrading your machine so that I can play with your old one! Try to keep it safe for me until Saturday!

Hi everyone
Just bought a TM21 on ebay and am picking it up on Saturday. Sooo excited - I can't wait.

A friend in Germany told me about hers a couple of weeks ago. I did some internet research and Wow! I couldn't believe how wonderful they sounded. This is going to be a real help for me. My children are so picky - one won't touch potato (at all, not even crisps!) but the other isn't keen on pasta. One loves spicy food but the other likes very traditional stuff. Trying to juggle mealtimes so that everyone gets at least something they can eat has become a real chore.

Even just thinking about my new thermomix is making me feel excited about cooking again! I am sure I will have lots of questions (I haven't even seen a real demo) - but just wanted to start by saying hello.
