Hi everyone, I'm writing a Thermomix cookbook

[DaniValent]

Hello Forum folk,

Just wanted to say 'hi' and let everyone know that I've just started work on a Thermomix recipe book. I'm a Melbourne writer (including lots about food) and I've had my much-loved Thermomix for a few years now. The whole time I've been longing for a modern, stylish recipe book to go with it, the kind of gorgeous book that would sit nicely alongside my other fave cookbooks.

Now, with the support of a Melbourne publisher (Slattery Media) and with the blessing of the lovely folk at Thermomix Australia, I'm writing the cookbook that I've been waiting for.

The book will include original recipes from chefs and bloggers (I've already spoken to a few of you - hi Trissa, Thermomixer, Helene!) from around the world, adapted recipes from non-TM cookbooks plus some of my own recipes. There's going to be an iPhone/Pad app too.

Would love to share more about it with anyone who's interested. Let me know if you'd consider contributing a recipe (no $ I'm afraid but I'll make sure you get a book!)

I'm really excited... hope some of you out in TM land will be too!

happy cooking!

DaniV

Hi Dani, welcome to the forum. Well done, it's great to hear about your book.  I'm sure there are others out there capable of writing one too so maybe this will give them the inspiration they need.  You can never have too many TMX recipe books!  Guess you've checked out all the recipes here on the forum - I'm sure people would feel privileged if you decided to include their recipe in your book. Keep us informed so we can look out for it in bookshops.

DaniV, that is awesome that you are writing a book. Congratulations! Can't wait to get a copy of it.
My husband only said the other day, "I wonder if there's an iPad app? Wouldn't that be great" and there you have it. You have it in the making.  Fantastic.
I'm too new to the TM world to come up with a book worthy recipe but I wish you all the luck in the world. There are some amazing contributors on this forum.
Please keep us updated with your progress!

Ohhh an iPad app makes me happy, I would like to see a book that includes a "whole meal" approach as in the main dish and the side dishes. As a working mum, being able to do everything at once is important to me. If you have ever seen the tupperware stack cooker recipe book, you will appreciate what I mean. Waiting  excitedly now

Oh wow - good on ya!! Can't wait to hear more.

This sounds excellent.  Any idea when it's expected out?

Oh and Welcome by the way!

Welcome Dani

Have been busy in Sydney for the last week or more.  Spent too much time watching demos, eating & having fun.

Have the email to reply to, sorry.  Sent a Tweet to Geoff.

Hopefully we can get some people to put their hands up to contribute too.

Hi Dani,  as a cook book tragic, I love the idea of what you are doing.   This forum would be a wonderful resource.   Most of the recipes are well tested and you can gauge the popularity by the number of posts.  Also some of the photos are very professional,  have a look at JulieO's.  Good Luck.

Welcome Dani. You have delivered some very exciting news to us. I've often thought how lovely it would be to have a TMX book available on the shelves of book stores for everyone to see how amazing this machine is that we all love. As mentioned earlier when will it be available?

Hi Dani

Sounds awesome and I look forward to seeing it.   As an Android user (rather than iPhone) can I put in a plea for an Android app as well as the iPhone one,  please, please, pretty please.....

If you want anyone to be a recipe tester, I'll volunteer

oooh can't wait to see the book. I love cook books, even more ones I'm likely to make lots of recipes from rather than just drool over.

(though funnily enough since getting a TMX I"m now trawling through other cookbooks for inspiration.

Hi Dani and welcome to the forum.I will look forward to the cookbook coming out, one can never have too many cookbooks.

Hi Dani - that's so exciting!  I love good cookbooks too, especially with beautiful photos that make you want to cook!  Can't wait! 

[Yvette]

What a great idea hope it has lots of nice photos. Let us know when it is available.
