welcome chocdoc - I thought TM31 always came with the varoma. I can't wait for your contributions after having a peek at egullet! And our beloved andiesenji originated there too by the looks.
Perhaps this one did originally - and the cookbook, but it was long gone by the time I got my hands on it.
I suspect I may have been at least a bit responsible for convincing Andi that she 'needed' a TMX. She's a gadget girl like myself!
Yes indeed! Kerry is one of the culprits!
I had been following the "Pastry" thread on eG but what put me over the top was the topic Kerry started on Nov. 7 about Cooking in the Thermomix.
That started me on a search for more info, including this forum and I immediately made a request for a sales contact and placed my order. My "Tuffy" arrived on Nov. 12. I have been playing with it ever since with breaks for other tasks and using other appliances because I need greater capacity for some of my recipes that are not easily reducible to a size that would fit in the TMX.
Kerry is extremely talented and has a lot of knowledge to pass on.
