Hoping to start cooking more this week
« on: January 06, 2014, 09:45:20 pm »
I have received a thermomix as a joint christmas and birthday present from a dear friend who I have been supporting over the last few years. I recently split up with my husband who had destroyed my enthusiasm for cooking so this present is to rekindle my desire for producing good fresh food from scratch.
I am off to my local food coop tomorrow to buy veg and am looking forward to using my new toy this week.
I am fortunate that my two small children enjoy home made food and am delighted at the prospect of learning new recipes.

SS,  welcome to the Forum.  What a generous gift.  You will certainly have a renewed interest in cooking with this machine.  Use the recipes here and ask for help if you need it.  Most of all have fun cooking.

Hello, SS - and a very warm welcome!  You could spend hours and hours on the forum reading and collecting recipes, tweaks, hints, etc !
If you haven't already seen them, try these threads . .

http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6470.0     This is a collection of tried, tested and true recipes by a long time forum member, CreamPuff63  It's a TMX cookbook in itself!!

Also try this one  - apart from the very highly recommended beef stroganoff, scroll down a post or two for links to Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)'s wonderful recipes!

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

A big decision to make and with the help of your wonderful friend you will now be able to immerse yourself into feeding and caring for your children in the best possible way.  Lovely to have you on board, good luck with everything.

Wow what a lot of lovely replies. You have made me smile so much. My kids are 3 and 4 (Althought the four year old is 5 this weekend).
My forum name is my old performance name I used to be a fire breather before I became a mum.
I am away to finally get the thermomix out the box as I was away for new yeasr and have not had a chance. Looking forward to our first thermomix meal tomorrow.

A fire breather, heavens to Betsy - mothering sounds so much easier to me but if you know what you're doing I guess not  :D
Have fun with your TMX and do report back to let us know how your first meal went.
