Hi,
« on: January 27, 2011, 10:25:06 am »
Hi all,
My name is Andy Kemp, I am English living in Portugal and so a big problem that I have is to find the recopies in English.... i.e. the first book that tells you in depth how everything works....
I am a restaurant manager and have spent most of my life in a kitchen so for me to finally get this great machine was just the best thing ever.
Well after 3 years and 3 demos, we finally got our "Thermomix"; we got it last Thursday... Life has changed completely!
My wife likes to cook but really never wants to, so as food is my life I take that and normally make around 95% of the food in our house.
Now that has all changed and I don't know if I like it... LOL
She can stop using the machine its great coming home to fresh bread and amazing food... (And no stressed wife)...
Any way when I can finally get my hands on the machine I think that I'll have some fun...
I would really find it helpful if anyone knows where I can find books in English
Again hi and thanks in advance.

I recently ordered some books from the UK, so I'm sure they will ship to you.

Hi Andy, welcome to the forum.  It must have been a shock to your system to find your wife enjoyed cooking with the TMX but I'm sure in time she will move over and let you have a turn at home.  In the meantime, relax and enjoy the break - at least in your home kitchen.
Here's the UK website, whilst you are waiting for some books there are some recipes there to have a look at. http://www.ukthermomix.com/recindex.php

Thanks Judydawn, I relay am enjoying it its great....
Thanks for the link, I have been threatening to try to make cheese, do you know of any good recipes, I have found some for softer cheeses similar to mozzarella or cream cheese, although I would like to look at harder cheeses as the are normal harder..

Some of our members have made the soft type cheeses, some have done cheese courses (non TMX of course).
Bit of a chat here about cheese courses http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5374.0.

Hi Andy and welcome.  I'm from the UK and find the people at the UK Thermomix Office really friendly and helpful so I'm sure they'll be able to help you out.    If you email them and don't get  a reply, it might be worth ringing as I know they've had problems with emails in the past....

There are loads of really good recipes on this Forum as well.   

If you have any queries at all about using the Thermomix, don't hesitate to post them on here - people are amazingly friendly and helpful.

Good luck!

Hi Andy. I had a little chuckle when I read that your wife has the TMX. Welcome to the forum, and welcome Mrs Andy.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
