thermomix - how I have dreamed of thee!

[cathy79]

I was more thinking of first dishes to try at home once thermomix arrives, not what to cook at the demo.

And maybe versace was too Cathy.  If it is hot I'd make an instant  ice-cream and if it is cold I'd do a soup versace 

[versaceyoyo]

yes i was thinking about what to do when the demo is finished - maybe for dinner that night.  but i think a soup is probably the way to go as i love soups, cook them alot and would love to experiment with how TM will make that process quicker and easier...

i saw a recipe on a blog for chick pea and spinach soup (where you pulverize the dried chickpeas) which I think I might try...

judydawn i will do some digging right now for pics or info on old TM's...

Welcome versaceyoyo!

Glad to hear you're on board with your demo and ready to order! Depends where you are, but it usually takes a week or two for your thermomix to arrive after you place the order and the money goes through to HO.

Enjoy your demo and in the meantime drool away at all the lovely dishes you'll soon be cooking up

I Love Bimby - I thought that might be the case 

Oh well, if I don't have it Sunday that gives me more time to learn from you lovely people in the meantime!

If you and DH have decided you're going to purchase it regardless of demo or not, then maybe give your consultant a call and order ahead of time. Though many want to see the demo first just to confirm their decision.

Thanks for finding those pics Jo, boy it has come a long way in looks.  Looks very ordinary actually back then.  Makes you wonder what it is going to look like in 20 year's time 

[versaceyoyo]

Awesome pics!!  It looked more like a standard blender in the old days, didn't it?

The burnt orange one is the one my MIL had!  DH has confirmed...much excitement here from DH to see the old girl again!  those custards must have been good...

I love bimby  - I have the contacted consultant but she is overseas til later in the week. hopefully we can organise in time!  If not it is a lesson in patience, for sure....

[versaceyoyo]

Strawberry Foam (for the wow factor) - but use less sugar unless you like things REALLY sweet!  Or maybe you'd better start with custard to keep your dh happy!! 

I checked out your foam recipe on your blog - I will definitely give this a go!!  I love frozen berries.  Great blog too.

Thanks versace

How dare your consultant go overseas

welcome to the crazy club!!!
this forum has been the main base for most of my experiments so far.
If you want bread.... you can't go past Isi for tonnes of recipes. We've adopted her Portuguese rolls (as a loaf) as our 'daily bread'.
You'll find yourself just making things up as you go too. It's all pretty exciting!!

Welcome versaceyoyo - tell me, how and why did you choose this forum name??

I would make chocolate custard to start with loads of dark chocolate and half cream, half milk. The creamy, chocolatey deliciousness will make everyone green with envy. Serve with some strawberries macerated in icing sugar and cointreau. Yum!


Love those photos of the early models, Jo!
