Secondhand tmx cookbooks?
« on: August 17, 2009, 08:57:26 am »
Anyone got any they don't want anymore? I only have the one it came with and I wouldn't mind checking out Cyndi's one, the kids one, and the vego one.

There are plenty of links in the forum giving the index of some of the other cook books and then the recipes are posted when requested - there are so many recipes on the site that have also been tweaked and tested I don't think it is necessary to buy another book! I would just like the newer corrected version of the ECB.

Hi Ayla,
I just have older versions of the EDC I'm afraid - probably now 2 editions old  >:(

It would be hard to find secondhand books - maybe just ask for ideas.

I would love to have a full index of ALLLLLLL the available recipes for TMX here (or somewhere)

TMX Australia is not keen to give us the names (let alone the recipe) for what they receive with the competition.

I think that it would be beneficial to know what is available - then we could request, and if there is nothing we can invent.  BUT I HATE spending time dong something that somebody has already done.  >:( >:( >:(

Wonder how much it would cost me to have all the recipes on here published in a book with pretty pictures?

Anyone interested in buying a copy??  ;) ;D ;D ;D

I did have the idea a while ago - about the time you were taliking about somebody shutting the site down - of downloading all the recipes into a formatted word document with a linked index. I made a start but have not done much lately. I thought that once I had it done it could be accessible as a link, and could be downloaded as a word document so that each user could edit recipes to suit themselves. I am happy to do this given a bit of time. I would just need to work out a method of knowing which recipes were added to the book over time - perhaps including the date posted. Any suggestions would be welcome. Also photos of the recipes would be good as people make them!

One book would sure beat all those pieces of printed paper-but then in no time I would have heaps more printed! :-\

I'd buy one too! Much quicker to flick through a book than search the site  :-))

OMG - I can hear the trees out the front squealing in pain - never mind, it would all be in a good cause.

I probably have more recipes books then anybody (except maybe faffa and Amanda in Adelaide) - so nobody else should feel guilty.

I love recipe books - especially with pics. 

I have about 13 Thermomix books - because I bought the old Italian TM21 books.  SO I am probably the baddest  :-[ :-[ :-[

Recipe books are great when you want to do some menu planning in bed and don't have a laptop (I hope other people do this too).
I would buy one!

I used to - but bought a laptop - much to MrsT's disgust - I spend more time communicating with it in bed then MrsT.

Still - it stops me using the remote and channel surfing  :-)) :-)) :-))

If you went to the trouble of having a book printed Thermomixer, I would buy one as a show of my appreciation for your efforts (as long as it wasn't one of those spiral binder ones).  I also like pretty pictures but it is more important to me that the recipe is correct and works.

I can't believe Mrs T lets you go to bed with your laptop ??? ??? ??? i.e. presuming she is in there with you at the same time.
