Thermomix Lovers United #2

Thanks The Cookie Doctor - I follow Quirky Cooking on facebook and love it. I am just wondering if there was a food co-op on here?
I am still waiting for my TMX and can't wait for it to arrive. I am really going to try and work to a tighter budget so am really excited to get in there and see what it can do. I have heard so many people are disappointed at first until they get used to the machine and then after a few weeks it clicks and gets much easier.
OP - when have you got your demo booked for?
MummyNaomi - how was your butter chicken? I am really looking forward to trialling some idian cooking. I have Christine Manfields Taste of India cookbook and I am hoping i can convert some of her recipes for the TMX - is there a secret to converting normal recipes to TMX or do you just get the hang of the machine after a while and just know?

I'm still waiting for the demonstrator to call me!! So annoying! I'm impatient :)

If you need a demonstrator, I can highly recommend one!

Out your way or happy to go anywhere Olive??

It was delish, however DD woke just as I was finishing the Naan's and serving so by the time she settled again I had gluggy rice, lukewarm butter chicken and soggy Naans - Agggggh, the butter chicken was delish though, heated it in the microwave and it was all good.

I've converted a few recipes in for the TMX, I usually find the equivalent TMX recipe online to work out cooking times etc, and the first time I cook it I write all the measurements in grams in my cookbooks, its actually really easy once you have the hang of it

Happy to anywhere.....I'll as her, are you in DC?

Thanks mummynaomi I also can't wait to give the butter chicken a go, did you use the recipe in the book you get for free?

I am really excited our machine arrived yesterday and I have already made mayo (actually I put more garlic in as I prefer aoli), fruity dream and porridge. I eat porridge for b'fast most days and hand on heart, I have never had porridge that tastes that yummy! I am so excited. I am going to google some chicken recipes as I am poaching a whole chook on the stove top so wouldn't mind using that meat for something tonight. I can already see this is a good investment as DH was the one who made porridge, it was all made and waiting for me when I got back from the gym this morning :)

Is anyone on here a demonstrator? I bought my machine outright, but am thinking of signing up to be a demonstrater as I am between jobs at the moment and might buy me a bit more time and since I have loads of sales experience it would be nice to do something I am passionate about? I have a few questions if you are a demonstrator:
* How many demonstrations do you do a month?
* what's your average conversion rate?
* Any tips for getting leads for new demos?

OP Have you had your demo yet?

I'm looking into these but please tell me for someone that rarely cooks and works full time am I wasting money??

Beautiful Disaster,

Do you not cook because you don't have time or because you don't enjoy it? Cooking is very easy with this machine and so far I can see its really simple to create clean food.

Both redgum

It's hard to say... I love to cook but didn't have time, so I know I will use it all the time. Maybe have a demo and see it in action. Then decide??

Yay! Thermomix demo booked for this weekend so I can get the half price bowl and blade set! Also, it's a chance to try out their new menu :).

Not a waste of money at all. It's fantastic because it is so easy and saves you time, meaning it is great if you love cooking and great if you don't. It's a good way to prepare good, wholesome food quickly and easily, avoiding all those nasty packet and jar quick fixes :)

Nooooo not be the special this month I can't afford it :( Bummer.

What's the special?? Mine is tomorrow night! Yay!

Sorry olive just saw your post now, she did get in touch :)

I know! If I have a varoma demo, does that count too?

Does anyone else feel guilty for having a demo if no one buys? I would love a demo. But my first didn't get any buyers so I would feel guilty if my second didn't.
