Varoma Demo

[ozrockit]

Hi all,

Could I please have some feedback from the forum users on the following..

Have you seen a Varoma Demo?
What did you think of it?
How long did it run?
What improvements could be made, in your opinion?

I have just practiced the Varoma menu tonight and would like some feedback from the "receivers"

thanks

Rod

I'd be interested in this feedback you get (I'm a consultant too)..... any takers??

Haven't had one yet, although it is nearly planned. A friend wants a TMX for his wife and I'm waiting until he decides so I can have a sale at my demo. If he doesn't decide soon I'll go ahead.

I had the new varoma demo a few weeks ago and loved the food.  The demo is quiet long, tho it moved along nicely, was a great night. Thanks Joanna.

Glad you liked it

Waiting for a Varoma demo - went to a B2B class & ticked the box.  But they may think I am joking ? as they know me very well and possibly didn't realise that i have a friend who has just purchased & wants help.

We had a great Varoma demo, but I did feel it didn't really showcase the Varoma that much. I would have liked to see how to do a complete family meal, like rice in the basket, meat and veg in the top. Unfortunately as the host I missed a lot, as I was busy washing up and serving etc. I would have really liked the recipes too, as I still don't have a full steam ahead cookbook, 3 weeks after the demo. All in all I think it presents everything pretty well though. My only other thought is I thought the bread would be steamed, as my consultant had told me how great that recipe is.

Just ask your consultant - you are suppose to get recipe cards for all the dishes made - she may have just forgotton about leaving them - I'm sure she'll happily give them to you if you remind her.

I hosted a demo recently and I also missed a lot of it because I was busy getting drinks and washing up (the demo does use a lot of plates).

I've also had a basic demo and thought this one was better suited to my 30 something friends as it was more suited to some dinner party type recipes rather than family recipes ie custard. Everyone had a good time - it was long though.

My only other comment is that its an expensive demo for the host. It didnt help that I bought free range chicken but with the parmesan, cashews etc etc it did add up. I really don't expect my consultant to pay for everything but given there is no incentive besides the recipe cards (which are lovely) the cost should be spread more evenly over the host and consultant.

Hope this helps!

Good point about the cost, for me it was pretty cheap, as no alcohol served until the main dish. My friends would usually have had a few drink by then, and that would have cost! Thanks for the feedback on recipe cards, I will ask

I'd be really interested to hear from anyone who has experienced both the "old" & "new" Varoma demos to find out how you'd compare them & which you prefer.  Feedback about the food served with the new one is very positive.

Been contacted about having your own Varoma demo yet Thermomixer???

[Thermomixer]

Still not yet.  Really think that they thought I was joking?

[JaneeZee]

Maybe!!

Would you like me to have a word - or would you prefer to ring yourself???

[Thermomixer]

I'll need to work out when it is convenient, so I'll do it when I've decided. Ta

[obbie]

I have not had one, although i have had my thermomix for 12 months.
Also my consultant isn't selling them anymore.
Can i just ring another consultant and ask.

thanks for the help.
