Didn't I read somewhere that Thermomix were launching a new website today?

Pity the poor fools who try to do TMX things without me knowing

Flabbergasted!!

Sounds like all the other consultants on here - I am unaware of all that was mentioned below too! No surprise though.

 


Thank you Thermomixer for all your inside information! At least someone knows what's going on and can pass on the information 

[Tenina]

OK guys...you haven't missed anything...the email (sneakily copied on here by the lovely Mr.T) was only sent out to group leaders...so Jeff, we need to talk ! hahaha 
We are upgrading the EDC, the time is right to do that as we have not really ever tested all that is in there, it was compiled before my time from recipes that had been tested by customers and consultants. In the books defence, I think it covers the basics extremely well with a wide range of dishes that demonstrate the many functions of the TM.
I was going to post the same request on here for tweaks and improvements on existing recipes, but was frankly afraid of you lot!
SO should you feel there is something outstanding you can add to a recipe that currently appears in EDC, please feel free to email me at tenina@thermomix.com.au...but like my original email said, send me a solution, rather than a problem...and I promise all issues will be addressed.
As to the website launch...think Pantene; it wont happen overnight, but it will happen....

Thank you for the update Tenina

Tenina-thanks. We're not really scarey, we only pretend to be.  Keep up the good work.

I have also thought so - just being a home cook, cooking basic meals for family, I have never had issues with poor ol' EDC - It has served me well. 
We're scary?? But we love you Tenina! Thanks for clearing all that up.

Sprung !!!!

Sorry Tenina, didn't realise it was secret GL business and it didn't just come from one source.  I think it needs to be out there anyway - sorry that I upset the consultants, but thought all GLs would send it to their consultants?

Gee, I hope we aren't THAT scary.  We are friends.  Agree that best to get solutions/suggestions/tweaks to the recipes, unless they are so bad that we think they should be scrapped.

In Italy ( & I think Spain) the recipes on the website have symbols to indicate that they have been tested by Thermomix HQ.  It would be good to get as many recipes tested for time/temp/speed etc and we are here to help.

May also be an idea to look at using some of the winning recipes on here like baf65's Creamy CHicken in the Varoma ?

Hope we can still be friends

[Tenina]

ALWAYS friends Thermomixer...I haven't completely gone to the other side! hahaha 
Please send me any and all suggestions...we will look at them all. I always go in to bat for the consumer.

You're not "just" a home cook Nay-Nay!  You are a very important home cook and are doing a great job for your family. 

I also use the EDC quite a lot and we enjoy many of the basic homestyle recipes.  Actually out of all of the recipes I make my children seem to enjoy the ones from the EDC the most (italian shepherds pie, pasta e. fagioli, lasagne, pasta with tuna, creamy salami fettucine, fruity dream, custard etc).  I think it is important to remember that it is an Everyday cookbook and is suppose to provide the basics to get people started.  Having said that I do think it needs to do a great job of providing the basics and I think some of the recipes need tweaking and a few replacing.

I'm glad you are welcoming our feedback Tenina.  You will never be able to please everyone, but I'm sure you will be able to improve many of the recipes and replace a few that just aren't working.  I will email you with our list of favourites (that we personally don't think need tweaking) and a few that we have tweaked ourselves.

OOOOOOOOO I love it that we are scary ..

I agree that the basics in the EDC are good.

As many of us have tried and tested Isi's bread and Brazen's bagels. they should be included in any new cookbook.
