Thermomix came to SA on November 3rd 2008 - I bought one on the 18th November! I immediately said I would become a consultant and although I run a computer business I really like doing demos and convincing people that even though it is expensive it is the ULTIMATE kitchen gadget. I especially enjoy showing it to chefs and concentrate on that market.
Have read just about every post on this forum and I promise to contribute some recipes later.
I am originally from UK and definitely prefer the UK book which I borrowed; I shall buy one for myself at some stage.
About 100 machines have been sold in South Africa - mostly in Johannesburg but I am trying hard to keep up with the consultants up there>
Happy thermomixing to everyone
