Which Thermomix books would you recommend?

[Thermomixer]

People who contributed a recipe got a copy.  An incentive to write - but not many seemed to know about it.

Picked up Meat cookbook and would have to say this is great. DD showed DH how to use the TM last night (its only taken a year) to make the Chicken Cacciatore and it turned out great, so tonight he made the Mushroom Rissotto and we put the spinach and sundried tomato variation in and now he is hooked. Washed up the TM straightaway and said he has to look after HIS machine. Ahem scuse me? whose machine?

hi just wanted to add my opinion on the My way of Cooking. I was so excited to get the book then after sitting down and going through it i was bitterly dissapointed and nothing "tickles" my fancy and i can't see anything that i want to try. I think the EDC book is way better and not to mention the forum recipes. Sorry guys its a thumbs down for me.

Have my copy as well of the Meat on the Menu cookbook,  I have to say I am very impressed and good to see some new recipes as well as some favourites from this forum.  I especially appreciate the little tidbits on converting your own meat recipes and mincing tips as extremely helpful.  Well done Tenina and HO!!  Keep the recipes coming.

Has anybody used the UK version of Fast and Easy cookbook? The latest edition is out and before I commit to buy I am interested in people's opinions. I love the UK version of the Indian Fast and Easy cooking and am wondering if the quality of recipes are as good as the Indian cookbook.

Today I took the plunge and ordered the latest edition of English version of the Fast and Easy cookbook based on Thermomixer's past advice that the previous edition is generally good but some elements could be improved. I am hoping that given that this is the third edition, they would have got rid of all the quirks by now.

My final deciding factor was the fact that I was tired of trying recipes from the EDC cookbook and always trying to improve it. Hopefully, I can just follow the recipe for the UK version!

I understand where you are coming from courton - it's annoying isn't it 

[JulieO]

I look forward to hearing what you think of it when you get it.

I think you will really like the F&E book, it has lots of tips and information before recipes, and a few more different recipes to what we are used to with the EDC.

Yes I agree Mum23.  I love the look of the book, but am hard pressed to find a recipe that I really want to cook from it.

On the whole I find it good, but this new edition has several errors in it, which is very annoying.  I never came across an error in the last edition, and had full confidence in it.  I've come across at least 3 errors in this new one, and wonder how many there are in total.  Some of the recipes are also a bit unadventurous to be honest, which is strange considering that it's written by complete foodies.  There are also a couple which just show how the TMX can be used for preparation rather than the full dish.  Nevertheless, it's my favourite of the various cookbooks available.

How & where can you purchase the English fast and easy book?

[courton]

Contact Isobel Turner at UK Thermomix - she is lovely, friendly and very competent.

I paid for it by credit card. But you can also do a bank credit.

[courton]

I have just received my UK Fast and Easy cookbook and my first impression is that it certainly has a wide variety of recipes and certainly a number of ones I look forward to trying. General first impression: A good buy.

CarolineW, would love to know if the errors you found were major ones... I dont want to have a cooking disaster on my hands.
