Hi all,

The news Perth has been waiting for! My first advanced Thermomix class is on the calendar! Souper Bowl, Floreat, July 27th, 7.30pm, $60 per head. Reserve your spot now; email bookings@cookingwithtenina.com​ More details to follow soon, but I couldn't hold the news in any longer. Exciting times ahead, hope you'll join in!

Can't wait to meet you all, Sydney and Melbourne are booked for the third week of August! I will keep you all posted with more details as they come to hand. ;D

And Tassie??  If you are coming all the way over to Melbourne surely you can zip across the water. ;D ;D ;D

I agree with Chelsea, Tassie needs an advanced TM Class. Launceston area would be good for me. lol.

Yes Yes Yes. Well I am anyway lol. I know quiet a few people with TM's that would love to go. What kind of numbers would you be needing to make it worth it for you?

Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on July 20, 2011, 03:57:46 am
There's two already Tenina ;D.  Yes Launceston is central for all Dede. I'm sure we would all round up some TM friends to come along.

Well girls, two is a start…get me 40 and I'll come! I would prefer 50 of course, but beggars cant be choosers!
I am coming to Melbourne mid August so perhaps that might be a quick trip possibility for the Tasmanians??
The dates are confirmed as Wednesday night the 17th and Thursday morning the 18th but more details closer…concentrating on Perth right now.

 ;D ;D

Surely we can manage 40 for you Tenina. Are you able to advertise your classes on the official thermomix emails? I know this is a separate venture but that would be the best way of drawing a crowd.

Chelsea do you know many consultants in Tassie. Was thinking if you could get them to email their customer data bases. That should get some numbers for you  :)

Post by: Tenina on July 21, 2011, 01:31:34 am
Thanks for all the warm fuzzy feedback everyone, I am delighted that you see the need for advanced cooking classes with thermomix. I am totally trying to fill the gap, but it will take time and support. I have someone on my Facebook page that is trying to get Newcastle organised. If you want to go join FB if Newcastle sounds like a go, then please do and Tash will certainly get in touch with you. I have Tassie wanting to get organised on here, and a few on FB, so join forces folks, I will paste this link to my FB page as well.
And for you dearest Cookie, Souper Bowl is in Perth next Wednesday night in Floreat, email bookings@cookingwithetenina.com for payment and ticket info.

Souper Bowl will also be in Melbourne on August 17th night time, and 18th day time. You can email for those tickets as well, just specify which class you are interested in.

Hope this helps :) (Loving my new life!!)  ;D ;D

I don't sadly Kathryn. Fiona (Tassie GL) told me in an email recently that there are now quite a few consultants in my area but I don't know any of them.  :'(

Post by: cookie1 on July 21, 2011, 03:41:20 am
Thanks Tenina. I'm thick (like soup) and didn't get the connection for souper bowl. I'm coming and payment will now be made that the bank details are corrected. I'm looking forward to it very much. It's just in time before we go away and leave the kids to the bills etc. No TMX though, that's coming with us.

Tenina, do you have dates for the Sydney one? I'd love to come but I have to book babysitters well in advance.
Title: Re: Advanced Cooking Class in Perth!
Post by: Tenina on July 24, 2011, 04:02:10 am
Sydney looks like it will be September….how do you feel about a daytime class?
What are your preferences? The location will be Alexandria in a beautiful brand new appliance experience centre that is opening…so excited!
Let me know what you all think guys! Need feedback right now!  ;D ;D
Title: Re: Advanced Cooking Class in Perth!

Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on July 26, 2011, 09:29:26 am
Well today I contacted the only Tassie consultant that I know that is vaguely in my area to ask if they were keen to spread the word and try to get a Tenina class to Tassie.  They were definitely not a fan of yours Tenina. ??? At least I tried I guess. Sigh! :-\
Title: Re: Advanced Cooking Class in Perth!
Post by: cookie1 on July 27, 2011, 01:41:46 am
Goodness imagine not being a fan of Tenina's-perhaps they don't know her. How sad.
Super effort though Chelsea. :P

The big class is tonight and I'm looking forward to it. We have storms forecast for tonight, glad I have a 4 wheel drive. It might get a good wash in the rain. ;D

Well, I know I could easily get a class together up here for you, Tenina - they'd all want to come!! FNQ may be a bit far though...  :-\

Thanks Tenina for a fun, informative evening. Can't use facebook so I'm posting here. Not only did we tuck into some unusual but tasty soups (it was certainly the weather for it-thunder storm) we watched Tenina make them.
Tenina I really felt the evening showed us some new things we can use the TMX for, with the machine itself not being the centre of attention as it is in Back to Basics. You understood that we could all use the machine so just got on with sharing your expertise and great thoughts with us.
I'm planning to try a couple of the things this weekend and take them away with me.

Lovely to see you CP and to meet Bedlam and Jeninwa. Hope you got home ok Bedlam.

THANKS AGAIN TENINA. :-* :-* :-* I can't wait for the next one.

I just can't understand that Chelsea, I hope thats not the case in other states, we would love a Tenina class in Adelaide!
Title: Re: Advanced Cooking Class in Perth!
Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on July 28, 2011, 05:17:14 am
It was a bit bizarre and certainly not the pleasant reply I was expecting.  The consultant even asked how I got his contact details. ??? That was rather funny as he gave me his contact details himself at my friends demo. The response did make me wonder if something has come down from HO re. helping out Tenina though.

I looked at airfares yesterday to fly over to Melbourne for a Tenina class but there are no specials on at the moment. One day!  :)

Cookie, my girls are still giggling about you and I meeting, you enquiring if I was Bedlam and me replying cookie! We all had a great night,definitely worth the drive ( thank goodness the worst of the weather had passed for the drive home). Nice to meet CP63 and jeninwa also. I must admit I feel like a Thermomix addict. Really looking forward to Teninas next class.

More details girls.  How many were in the class, did you all stand around the table watching tenina or sit in orderly fashion like at back to back cooking classes.  Did she do all the cooking herself or did she have helpers.  How long did the lesson last and was it all stuff you had not seen or tasted before? Did you get copies of the recipes? Was the phrase 'forum thermomix' used to gauge how many people were there from our forum  - it never ever was at any cooking class I attended that H.O. had arranged. I was always tempted to jump up and ask for a show of hands from those who were our members but me being a little meek and mild person (truly  ;)), I was never game to.
Title: Re: Advanced Cooking Class in Perth!
Post by: Bedlam on July 28, 2011, 12:26:27 pm
Judy, I think perhaps 20 or so people attended. We sat behind a table but Had the opportunity to help if we wanted, it was very interactive and entertaining. Cookie introduced me to CP. We got a lovely pack with all the recipes in a booklet as well as some samples and then tasted everything at the end. I have only been to one basics class,the flour one. Much prefered teninas although it was quite a few more dollars.

Bedlam is next to CP63, with her 2 lovely daughters beside her. Jeninwa was behind CP and I. DD showed me how to look at it, bless her. :-*
Judy,even though we all sat and watched Tenina it didn't have any of the formality of a B2B class. You felt quite free to yell out questions.

Bedlam I can understand your daughters chuckling. My DD thinks it's all a bit of a laugh too. I just tell her that people over 35 can use forums too. She enjoys all the food ideas I get from it.

Tenina I hope you're beginning to feel better.  :-* :-*

Hey there, I think I should have mentioned the forum, but not sure that I did, but I certainly will in the future…I know where my friends can be found, that is for sure! hahaha, I AM feeling much better thank you, and on and upwards, planning the next menu, even tho I have Melbourne and another class in Perth coming up with Souper Bowl theme. I like to be a bit informal and will certainly keep it that way in the future. My thought is to use foodie/kitchen ware shops or appliance centres as venues as I go along. Its getting the balance right. I had great feedback from everyone on the night with lots of ideas as to the future, and I will certainly be taking all feedback on board. I will ALWAYS supply the recipes for the classes as I think that is a no brainer, though I would appreciate them remaining off other sites until the classes using those same recipes are over with. I plan on doing maybe 4-6 menus per year so that there is plenty of reasons to come back….while I get my book ready! Yes, book deal in the making…so exciting times ahead.
CanI just say, I have never met a nicer bunch of people, and I know that as I get around the country, the story will be the same. Melbourne is booking fast…so dont delay, Wednesday 17th August at 7pm and Thursday 18th August at 11am at the Carmelite Centre 216 Richardson St Middle Park.
You can book at bookings@cookingwithtenina.com $60 per ticket which includes a goodie folder, all recipes and some samples…PLUS lots of fun and info. Talk soon! :D
