I went to a demo last night and am now trying to convince my husband that we do really need one!! I'm in love... In 2 hours, the consultant made jaffa sorbet, wholegrain rolls, hommus, beetroot/apple salad, risotto, and custard for 6 people. She said the entire menu ingredients cost around $20!! So that's how you save your money. I love the fact too that as others have said you can go right back to basics and mill your own grains, make your own butter etc and it all omly takes a few seconds. She told us it will easily last over 30 years, and that they have fantastic round-the-clock customer service, are constantly bringing out new recipe books, and hold regular cooking classes in all major cities. No other appliances do all that for you...

I told her it would be hard to convince my husband, so she's going to come to our place for a one-on-one where she will cook all his favourite food (spag bol, cheescake, etc.) to show him how cool it is.
