2 weeks ago I had a Varoma demonstration and the demonstrater cooked a lovely chicken dish but when I asked for the recipe she said she would have to ask head office which version to give me and I still haven't been given the recipe so my question is why don't they give out the recipes they demonstrate and would anyone have it I would really appreciate a copy as I don't have a lot of confidence using my machine even though I have had it for a while , thanks
-
Was it the warm chicken salad? Or something else? I'm sure someone here will be able to help :)
-
Hi jamberie I can't remember what it was called the chicken tenderloins were steamed and some sort of soup was made in the jug then the soup was poured out and a few more ingredients were added to the little bit left in the jug and whizzed up then poured over the chicken I was told it was the new Varoma demonstration sorry if i sound vague I just wish I had a better memory
-
That's ok, the demos go so fast! I'm sorry though, I'm not quite sure what the recipe is (Varoma demos used to include a chicken salad and lots of people have that recipe). Hopefully someone else knows- I think you gave a great description that someone will recognise:)
-
They have recently done away with varoma demos as such and now a normal demo will include use of the varoma. I heard you cook chicken (or you could have salmon) in the varoma and make a veloute type soup in the bowl. I'm surprised the recipe wasn't passed onto you Connars nan.
-
Thanks judydawn that's the recipe chicken velouté is there anywhere I can find it it's been 2 weeks since I asked the demonstrater for it I'm not impresses
-
I doubt it would be anywhere except with consultants CN, they guard new recipes pretty closely. Keep on your consultant's back until you receive it.
-
Hi Connars Nan
I have just sent you a PM - hopefully this is the recipe you were looking for.
-
Great work Deniser.
-
Thank you deniser you have made my day
-
You are welcome - so pleased I was able to help. :D
-
Just a wild guess here ... but the new demo format was only rolled out 1st March officially and I am guessing that your consultant has not been able to forward you the recipe until now ;) ;)

Spot on K ;) it is so new it hasn't been printed up by HO for CLs to give to customers as yet. CLs will be able to pass it to customers directly at their demos from now on though.
-
Thanks for the inside information Meagan and backed up by Kathryn. :-*
-
Everyone at my demo really enjoyed it
-
The recipe is amazing isn't it? Even my son who can be fussy was saying it was delicious. I reckon it's a fantastic second demo dish. Inspiring people to use the varoma more.
-
I've had my TM for a year and been very pleased with it. Read these boards often but have never felt the need to post - until now. I am disappointed with the changes to the Varoma demo. It is now basically just a normal demo with one dish using the varoma.
-
Oh dear lalaLand! such a shame when you go to the trouble of inviting guests over, purchasing ingredients and have high hopes. Dud they have an incentive you could take advantage of?
-
Does anyone know where I can find this recipe?
I already have my TM and am not able to have another demo.
-
Hi Asha - I have just sent you a pm - hope this is what you are after. My email is there too if you need to contact me.

Thankyou very much Denise...I have just sent you a PM in reply.
-
No worries - should be in your email in box now. Enjoy
-
What do others who have had it think of it being replaced with a general demo which also includes a varoma meal rather than having to have 2 separate demos just to see how the varoma works. I'd heard the new varoma replacement demo was quite good.
-
As one who had never heard of the TMX before, I enjoyed the basic demo. The original varoma demo can become very drawn out - and although I certainly enjoyed the food, by the time it was over, I'd had enough.
Obviously, there can never be the perfect demo that appeals to everyone. It would be good if consultants could work more with their hosts to work out what dishes would most suit the people attending the demo and that could demonstrate the capabilities of the machine .
-
My mum (in NZ) went to one of these new style demos and loved it --- and even forwarded me the recipe ;)
-
@ Connors nan...just read this thread and I also have the recipe you were enquiring about, but see Deniser has kindly sent it to you
I had this dish at my demo on 22/3, really enjoyed it and have made it myself since with the tomato and capsicum in mine, preferred
it with these additions plus it gives the dish some colour.
My consultant forwarded it to me the day after my demo, she's great :)
Next time I would marinate the chicken first as I felt it was too bland taste wise even though the sauce was quiet tasty.
Very versatile dish though...I had made fresh bread that day too, so we had this with the soup along with my homemade herb butter :)
-
considering when I bought my machine 3 1/2 years ago, sight unseen, the demo was ok.
My consultant quit straight after.
took me 12 months to get a varoma demo..with some one else.
i taught myself so much more, just by using it. :)
I also went to a demo for a neighbor who had bought the machine, and the consultant was terrible, I could have done better.
-
Does anyone mind PM'ing me the veloute recipe as well please? I had the old version of the demos and wont be hosting any more...but this dish sounds delicious :D
-
May I join KathD11 in that request, too, please?? :-*
-
OK I have both those recipes as word documents. someone please tell me how to attatch here and I will send them on or if someone wants to post them I am happy for them to do so. Sorry my computer skills not great on Forums.
-
Deniser I wouldn't post current HO demo recipes on the forum but if you share them with friends that is different ;)
-
People will just need to pm you their private emails I think. I'm pretty hopeless on computers too.
-
Thank you Judy and Cookie - was not sure of the protocol here. Have just posted in Chit Chat so if that is out of order are you able to "unpost" for me please?
-
Have done Deniser.
-
Thank you.
-
Deniser, were you able to fwd the recipes to Kath & GF okay?
If not, I may be able to fwd to them via PM. Think mines in PDF format.
-
All good for me, GP247 - but appreciate your offer. Thanks. I'm assuming Kath is ok, too (although, advice since childhood - "one should never assume!" ;D)
-
Yes thank GP. appreciate your offer. I know who to call on next time I get stuck though.
-
Yes mine received too, thank you so much! Will be trying out as soon as the weather drops below 30 degrees. Quite eager for summer to be over so I can get onto making soups!!
-
Good to hear, happy to help in future if need be :)
-
I'd very much appreciate it if someone could forward me the recipes - I'm still waiting for my consultant to get them to me, it's been a month since my demo, keen to make the soup/velouté combo.
-
I'll send you an email LLL
-
I loved the new Varoma demo I like to see how everything works in one hit ,

Hi All
I had a demo last week with a new demonstrator (the demo I purchased from is no longer a demo), so that I could purchase the second bowl at the discount price. We had the chicken veloute on the demo and it was absolutely scrumptious - was hoping to get a copy of the recipe and have asked for it a couple of times but no luck yet. Could someone PM me with it? I am dying to make it for my sister as I know she will love it! (That potato & leek soup was divine too!!)
The pizza bianca was also heavenly - am going to make it tonight, YUM. :) who knew making pizza was so easy!
Thanks in anticipation :)
Kim.
