Well after all the praise that I gave my consultant it seems she is off the radar now too :(

Contacted her twice regarding my varoma demo that I wanted to have before the 10th of this month so that I could get my second bowl and blades for half price as well as learning more about using the varoma.  Guess what? No reply to my emails >:(
Very disappointing!

Uni could you please email me the recipe cards also if it's not too much trouble? My email address is on my personal information page  :)

MF, because she didn't respond you should contact HO and even if you can't now have the demo before the 10th Oct, they should give you a rain check.  Send copies of your emails to them to verify the dates you requested a varoma demo from your gone missing demonstrator and ask for their help.  In her defence, she may be on holidays.

You are the only person who can see your email address MF, it is hidden from view for the rest of us because you ticked the box.

Sorry I didn't know it was hidden. Thanks for that info Judy.  :)
I will contact them as i told my consultant as soon as that offer was advertised that I wanted the second bowl and blade set and wanted to have the varoma demo.
Is it ok if I PM you my email address Uni?

Hi Buttercups,
Don't worry about hosting a demo just to learn about using the Varoma, I had a demo (fortunately I had some friends who were interested) for the same reasons as you want one and found that the demo didn't really show me much and I've never used the cookbook!
Some of the recipes are in the EDC (pizza and fruity dream), if you have the salad and lemon pudding recipe (I found the lemon pudding one through google) and this forum, you really don't need to bother!
The recipes that helped me gain confidence in using the Varoma are:
Bafs chicken
 http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1063.0

Nigella's Pasta & meatballs
http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=9710.0

And Quirky Jo's fried rice
 http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com.au/2009/08/thermomix-fried-rice.html

Sorry I didn't hyperlink, I'm using my tablet and it's tricky!

I have a Facebook page with all things cooking, you'll find it here: https://www.facebook.com/What-Amber-Ate-1097437023601587/

In my opinion The Full Steam Ahead is a waste of time. It  is particularly unatrractive but....... If you want it I will send you mine for free. You can pay the postage.

Anyone want Meat  on the Menu?  Same deal.

Hi Gert, I've just IM'd you.

Reading through the forum this afternoon I've realised two things. 

One, I'm clearly not the first and only who feels this way about the demonstrations. It sounds like a lot of us treat out demonstrators better than HO does  :-))  We'd rather miss out than rip off the demonstrators  by having them attend when we know it's a waste of their time.

Secondly, if any of you ladies are in Sydney and want to hold a class I'm totally signing up!

Buttercups I've been waiting for uni to hold a class too! 

I really wish there was someone in Sydney doing thermomix classes - I don't want to do another back to basics I want a pastry/desserts class, a pasta class, a bread making class, a macaroon making class .....
