Mine is free and up for downloading on my website.
I have not converted it yet for the Mac, but if anybody tries it and likes it, I might be able to do so if I can pull myself away from the Thermomix long enough.
Again- it is free- no nags, no trial period. Just "I did it for myself and thought I might as well share it". And it does do menus and shopping lists in either metric or imperial measures. Also has lots of websites you can visit in the "Sources" section.
I just redid it and added about 50 Thermomix recipes I found here and there.
I am not sure if I can post a link to my website or not, but I have it in my profile. Once you get there, there is a link in the left sidebar then click on Augie's picture (the Westie) to download.

 Ok. I hate to sound stupid, but could somebody please detail the eggshell thing? I mean how many eggshells, how much water, what speed? Does this help clean the bottom plate? It's not in the books I got... Thanks!

Okey day, Unconundrum! I voted for the USA. I do spend some time in Hong Kong, but my Thermomix is in the US.
Might have to find one for Hong Kong, too. I see no one is from there. Does anyone know if there is a dealer in Hong Kong?

Hi Agpest! Great to know that my hubby is not the only one who reads WSJ and thinks Wow! Kitchen appliances are sooo cool.  Seriously though, he is using it almost as much as me. He found out he really likes smoothies. He had dental surgery this week and the dentist told him to have only cold foods-- good excuse for a milkshake. And I made oatmeal this weekend (a rare treat for me as GF oats are as expensive relative to regular oats as the Thermomix is to a food processor). Anyway, he loved it and now knows there is life after slushies. How many US members are there now? Everybody converting to metric... it's a movement.

Oh, no! I read about that, but the DH found a site in British Columbia that would ship it to us. Shipping and duty were included in price and we got it in about a week. I do not know if I am allowed to post the weblink, but a search on Fantan Thermomix should find them
Mine is 110 V and everything was in English.

The tuna doggie treats look great except I will have to use GF flour-- no wheat flour allowed in the house. I have pretty bad reactions. I got the cookbook called Recipes for Easy Cooking with the Thermomix. 154 pp. total. DH also purchased the Australian GF cookbook for me. But, no Nutella recipe . A few other recipes everyone refers to are also missing, but I have been tracking them down here and there. I am addicted to the orange juice-- Sunshine in a Glass they call it. I add in a few carrots now and then, too. Unconundrum-- Blue Fin is good. There is also a good place in Norristown right on Main St. They have Korean, sushi, and a bit of Chinese. It is called August Moon. I live about halfway between Blue Fin and August Moon.

Wow! I see a lot of you are pretty active here. First, Unconundrum (hope I spelled that right)-- I live in Plymouth Meeting... not sure exactly where you are, but it sounds like we are close. We can use my yard for the TMG...
A few people asked about the dealership in USA. There was one until 2004. THen none. There is one place in Florida that does authorized repairs. I think it's because a) it only comes in 1 color, b) people in USA don't like metrics, or c) people here only eat burgers and fries?? Just kidding about all the above, but hubby and I have been discussing the reasons every since our little guy arrived.
Brazen20au-- I actually already bookmarked your site! And, added you to my network in De.li.cious. (You are the only person in my network LOL). Yes, my program does do menus and shopping lists. It also calculates Ayurvedic values and a few other weird things, but not calories. I just put in a few recipes for Thermomix this week and am cleaning them up (adding all the keys and such). As soon as I finish and upload it, I will email you with a link to my website. It has a ton of GF stuff, too, but not adapted to TMX yet. I have to fit the programming in between the cooking with my Thermomix now.
Thanks for the great welcome, everyone! I think I am going to really love this site.

Wow! I'm from Philadelphia. My husband just had to buy me a Thermomix after that WSJ article! 1 week and I am in love (with the machine-- been married to the husband a lot longer). Anyway, I have a recipe database program I made and I am adding in TMX recipes already-- fixed the program last week to calculate weights over into gms on my older recipes so I could use the thermomix. I give the program away for free on my website, but it will be a few more weeks before I get the latest fixes in order and my thermomix recipes in. I have to add in a chart for the temperature conversions.
Anyway, glad to know I am not the only person on the East coast with a thermomix sitting on my counter!

Hi All! My hubby managed to get me a Thermomix from Canada since they do not sell them in the US. I have had it for a little over a week. He got it for me for my birthday. At first I was a little skeptical that I would like it, but I must say that I am very happy with this machine! It is amazing. Of course, as part of the recovery plan and the move toward so much "change" in the US, I think Pres. Obama should get one for every household here so that we will all convert to the metric system. I did not get the same cookbooks that I see a lot of you referring to, but my husband also got me the gluten free cookbook from Australia as I have celiac disease. It is just the two of us (plus our loveable Westie), but we already use the Thermomix several times a day. He has started drinking smoothies almost daily. My friends are pretty sick of hearing "guess what I made yesterday?". The forum is great and I am happy to be here!
