Tips/Hints: You may want to reduce the amount of water if you want a really thick soup

I just rang TMX to order the vegetarian and Indian cookbook and I was informed that the Indian cookbook has sold out ... they dont know when they will be getting fresh stock. 

Hi
I am the latest Themomix convert. Was totally sceptical about its claims when I heard about it, then intrigued and now totally converted!

I am madly going through all the recipes in the Forum to make up my own recipe book and try these delicious recipes.

I am also starting to get seriously addicted to this forum! When I am not on the Thermomix (very little time admittedly!), or playing bridge online (yes, another addiction), I am checking out this forum. The friendliness is just wonderful and amazing. A special thank you to the wonderful Thermomixer...for all your help.
