Rokelle, American living in Madrid, Spain

[Rowi]

Hello to everyone.  My name is Rokelle.  I'm from the U.S. and currently live in Madrid, Spain.  I bought my Thermomix three years ago when we first arrived.  It is so functional that the only other appliance we needed to purchase was a toaster!  Pretty amazing, huh?

The Thermomix is pretty popular in Spain.  There are even 2 types of Thermomix magazines you can buy at the newsstand each month.  I have lots of these - they're a great source for new recipes.  (Of course, they're in Spanish, so you have to be fairly fluent or be willing to look up a lot of words.  Unfortunately, a lot of Spanish cooking terms are not in the dictionary!)

I accidentally found the website when searching for a carrot soup recipe.  I am so pleased to join! It's a great idea, and will be so helpful for everyone who really wants to explore what the machine can do, and just try out some new recipes, too. 

Thanks for the website!  Rokelle

Welcome on board.     TMX is amazing in Spain - the head honcho had a restaurant in New York for many years.

Have you been to Alambique - the cookery shop near the Opera?  They had an Australian chef doing demos there in October.  The daughter-in-law (?) of the owner also does cooking classes and wrote a book "Cocinar con TMX" - yes same title as one of those monthly magazines, but not related as far as I know.

Have you seen the blog - Lobstersquad? The lady who writes that is the niece of the author of "Cocinar con TMX" and did the illustrations.  Unfortunately there are no pictures of the food.

Do you contribute to the Spanish TMX forums?  They certainly have lots of recipes and ideas -unfortunately - no hablo espaņol.  But manage to work things out roughly.

The following is a link to one carrot soup recipe on one of the forum that I joined -

and another: http://thermoforo.com/index.php?topic=2512.0

Thnaks and looking forward to lots of great ideas

Welcome!  Hope you find the forum as helpful as I do.  And hope you'll post some Spanish recipes    I used to look at the forums sometimes, and wish that I spoke Spanish.

TM Magazines at the newsstand!!  Bliss!

Hi Rowie
Until recently I had no idea the Thermomix was so popular in Spain.  I am originally from Madrid and emmigrated to Australia with my parents when I was 9.  When I bought my TM31 a few weeks ago I also purchased the Spanish cooking book and I have to say it has some awsome recipes.

I would love to purchase some other Spanish cooking books in the near future and as far as magazines on stands...well that would be just terrific to have... half your luck Rokelle.

Hi Isabel

Sorry that I missed this post - there are plenty of recipe books in Spanish available.  One written by a "friend" in Madrid "Cocinar con Thermomix"  by Gabriela Llamas - no pictures but great ideas.  Others are available as outlined elsewhere for download via internet.

Hi Rokelle,
I am English, living in Malaga (20 years now!) Like you, I also buy the magazines, some recipes are great. Have a great one for cheesecake which will try and get on next week, as have bought all the ingredients now  and have now learnt how to post photos!

Got my THX for xmas, and really don't know how I had survived all these years without it. This forum has been a wonderful help to me. Have to admit I am also hooked on this too! Checking it daily!

Welcome and hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Welcome. Just imagine magazines for thermomix users. I love food magazines and that would really make my day.

Same here Cookie but I have stopped buying those monthly ones from the supermarket now that I have my TMX
