What are the ethics?

[goldfish]

Buttercups I've been waiting for uni to hold a class too! 

I really wish there was someone in Sydney doing thermomix classes - I don't want to do another back to basics I want a pastry/desserts class, a pasta class, a bread making class, a macaroon making class .....

I'll second that!!!

[obbie]

Uni to start doing classes.... watch this space

[Buttercups]

I'm seriously in Uni 

Any way I can help I'm happy to do so!

Buttercups I am more than happy for you to have my book too, but you would have to wait until mid November.
Don't waste your time or money..

Couldn't find an email address to send complaint about varoma demo to HO.
Sent a contact enquiry from their website to them telling them of my issue and asked them to send me their email address.
I am not holding my breath

You think they care ?

You will get the standard answer. POLICY!

Thanks Cookie, Gert is going to send me hers.  Once I've read through I'm thinking I can pass it on, it'll be fun to share with other newbies here.  All I want is to learn how to use the Varoma properly, I've never really used a steamer, and to really maximinse my thermie.

It's a shame that HO won't offer proper hands-on varoma classes or anything more than the back to basics, so I'm quite serious about signing up with Uni if she starts, I'd love to get more out of this machine   

If Uni's not interested and someone wants to do so in Sydney I'm totally interested in everything that Snappy said "I really wish there was someone in Sydney doing thermomix classes - I don't want to do another back to basics I want a pastry/desserts class, a pasta class, a bread making class, a macaroon making "

It is  not easy to find people doing THERMOTHINGY cooking classes. It all has to be officially done or you get the tonne of  bricks .

There are some being done . Pretty  much secret  demonstrators business. All WOFM. You will need ask around.

Buttercups I just purchased Cyndi O'mearas (sp?) healthy eating tm book $15 from HO and there are some great tips and recipes for using your varoma in there.

I have never had my varoma demo, I don't agree with it either and have taught myself how to use it, mostly from the recipes posted here

When I started doing bread classes  using the tMX, I was told that there was a problem with insurance.  HO would not insure me if I held them in my home.   they said they would hire a venue,  I could have up to 30 people and charge  some large amount,  I think it was $200 a person.   What a joke.  
The classes I have held,  are hands on,  8 people,  they pay the cost of the ingredients,  usually $20 /30 .  They take home all the bread they make.The class run from 10 .00 to 3.00.  We work in pairs with 4 machines.  I take the risk of insurance.  I am also in control of how often I hold classes.
The demand is great.  There is a desperate need  as people want to learn more about their machine.  
More than 1/2 the people who attend are consultants.
