Had our Thermo since 2 winters ago, having imported it from Canada.

Looking forward to reading and posting with this new community!

Hi ElectronGuru. Welcome to the forum. What sort of things have you been making?
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Thanks!

Our favorite thing is a sun dried tomato marinara sauce the Mrs came up with.  We also do lots of mashed potatoes, vegetable soups, and hard boiled eggs.  The mashed potato technique was a hit over thanksgiving for sweet potatoes.

Deserts include chocolate chip cookie dough, (tempered) chocolate dipped fruit, and snow (used with various syrups).

BTW, we just got a Breville Oven to go with it.  It does a pretty good poached egg, so I was looking for a hollandaise sauce receipt for use with the TM and landed on a forumthermomix thread.

BBTW, having inquired with TM HQ when shopping, I was contacted recently by them about a possible US sales effort.

You couldn't have landed in a better place, EG!  If you haven't already done so, take a look at these threads on the forum   . .

http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6470.0  This is a list of tried and true favourites from a long term forum member, CreamPuff63 - it's virtually a cookbook in itself!

http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=13567.0   The beef stroganoff is a favourite, but scroll down just a little and there is a list of links of other fabulous dishes from Chelsea (ThermieGroupie)

A very warm welcome, and so glad you found us all - and how good was it to have the TMX for Thanksgiving!!

Looking forward to hearing more from you soon . . :D

Bingo!  Be very interested to hear how things progress in that direction!!

Welcome to the forum EG. Great to have another North America member.

Lucky you to get a Thermomix  in the States. We all wish it would take off there to increase our membership here!


Be sure to visit this website as well for a fellow North American. http://www.superkitchenmachine.com

Thank you everyone.  So many welcomes and links!  So much to read, so much to read...

Yeah, the hardest part about being a TM owner in the States is the lack of connection, for just about everything.  But I can see this forum (and all of you) are going to alleviate much of that   :D
