Got my thermomix in November and I love it! My hubbie dubbed it the 'cement mixer' which wasn't very complimentary but he's slowly coming around, he's even changed the name to "Theo". Have been working my way through some recipes and especially love the fact that the kitchen doesn't heat up when cooking. Particularly useful in the heat Perth is experiencing at the moment. Love the recipe review and tweak part of this forum - I look it up before cooking a recipe to see how everyone else has fared! No failures yet - thanks heaps.
