Welcome to the forum Bets and the unfamiliar world of TMX!  Total agreement with all posts regarding perseverance. While I enjoyed cooking pre-thermie I carefully followed every instruction initially (none of this give it an extra few mins) - plus the support of the wonderful seasoned forum members was invaluable.  Hang in there - very soon you will wonder how you could do without this kitchen miracle.

Hi Bets, I'm in Hamilton, ON, and just love my Thermomix.  Just like you I have not used my Kitchen aid stand mixer, or any of the many other gadgets I own since getting it.  I mostly do recipes from "Forum Thermomix", and "Super Kitchen Machine".
I love the Minestrone, Pad Thai, Blueberry Yogurt muffins from the Forum; and the Creton, Pizza, yogurt from Super Kitchen.  I must admit that I added Tamarind Paste to the Pad Thai, and red wine to the Minestrone.  I also watch the videos on Super Kitchen and others on You tube.  When I find a recipe that I think I might like, I email it to myself and save it under "Thermomix".  Whenever I do a recipe, I take the printed copy, place it beside the Thermomix and work through it, and make notes for changes I have made.  I hope you get to like it, as it is now my new best friend.  Marnie
