hi all
I was just wondering if through reviewing posts etc or other if anyone knows if the recipes in the UK thermomix books are hte same as the ones in the Aussie Books of the same name..like the meat on the menu and the indian cookbook etc??
yours answers and input would be greatly appreciated as i would like to get the aussie ones but due to shipping costs (wow) there are alot of the same ones in the UK but i dont know if they are the same recipes. I ask as our EDC cookbook in france called A table doesnt have the same recipes as english EDC cookbooks so dont know if they differ from country to country?
thanks in advance!
Kim :)

Hi Kim. I think the Australian books are different to the UK ones and the recipes themselves are also different. I think the UK Thermomix site sells the Australian one (it's called Everyday cooking) so that the shipping costs might be less. They list a lot of books at the bottom of this page

thanks Katya yes ive seen the list of books but as they have the same name i wondered if they had the same recipes or if they are totally different ie recipes adapted to each country!
-
There's only one Meat on the Menu book (produced in Australia) and one Indian Fast & Easy book (produced in the UK). The Everyday Cookbook is the Australian book which is shipped with the machines bought there. The Fast & Easy book is the one shipped with the machines in the UK.
Hope that helps .....

does thanks katya and do you know for the others ie
healthy eating with cindi o'meara (i guess its a one off and not altered lol)
a taste of vegetarian?
Gluten Free, Wheat Free?
Rawlicious?
thx
-
I think each title is unique so there is only one version per title.
-
Sorry, just found this. The main book from the UK & Australia are different, adn different from the French book (which has nicer format & pics)
Ours is Everyday Cooking for Everybody & the UK is Fast & Easy ? The Indian book is from UK Thermomix
Most of the others: Taste of vegetarian, Seafood Bounty, Meat on the Menu, Gluten Free, Wheat Free & Rawlicious are Australian
Hopefully some will be updated & redone. At the moment Australia is also doing an Asian cookbook.

oh ill be looking forward to that one!!
and just bought five of the cookbooks..got the aussie EDC, the vegetarian one, the meat on the menu, the cindi o'meara one and the indian cookbook..think ive killed my cookbook budget for the month though lol :P and ill be checking out the tweaks on the forum!
will be ordering more next month from oz and have it sent to my parents place to collect when we are on holiday in nov.!! Is the festive cookbook good??
:) :)

Frozzie, I have lots of little notes stuck all over the place in that book as the girls really got into it when it was first released. There are lots of 5/5 in the reviews. Lots of us made Christmas baskets of TMX goodies last year and some of the things came from this book. I loved the Advocaat - made 3 lots over Christmas :P :P I think this one is certainly worth buying.
-
thanks jd ill check it out once i get my books..they should be here in a couple of days..yay!!
-
J D, I'll bet all the Advocaat didn't go into the baskets ;D ;D ;D
-
it'll feel like christmas in a couple of days frozzie ;D
-
One lot did Chookie ;D ;D
-
Jd did you make "snowballs" with the Advocaat? ;)
-
Yes Cornish Cream, I tried that one & Fluffy Duck but my favourite is called Dutch Latte which is 1 shot advocaat and 450mls coke.
-
i reckon CP ive been wanting to get them for ages but couldnt really justify the postage costs on top of the book costs to send them over here (usually its just as much if not more than the books) then when I contacted the UK office they said no problem and also discovered they sell alot of the aussie books as well as their own! So yay for me!!
Whats the festive book like? is it good?
you guys are making the wait even harder ....stop describing the recipes lol :P

What's in a Fluffy Duck?I rather like the idea of the Dutch Latte one, Yum! ;D
-
OMG what have we done to mild mannered JD? Now she's found TMX & alcohol - what a combo!
-
May as well put the machine to as many uses as possible Thermomixer ;) ;) ;)
Cornish Cream, the version of Fluffy Duck I tried was 10ml advocaat, 5ml gin, 5ml cointreau, 5ml fresh orange juice. Build layers in a tall glass which has been filled with ice and stir in some soda water. Nothing spectacular and I think it needed more advocaat. There is another version which I haven't done and that is 30ml advocaat, 30mls cointreau, 30mls cream, again build layers & stir through 300mls lemonade (add slowly). I think that one sounds better. Summer is my cocktail time so roll on summer :-)) :-))

and im with you JD - as many uses as possible! ;D

Thanks Judy for the info.I don't like gin, so I like the sound of the second recipe :-))

My TM 31 (purchased from a Canadian vendor) came with Recipes for Easy Cooking with Thermomix.
Subsequently I ordered from the UK Thermomix site Fast and Easy Cooking which has many more recipes.
There are just a few duplicates.
I like the Fast and Easy Cooking much better.

Thank your for this post; this is useful info for when I finally buy my own Thermomix. May I ask why you preferred one over the other?
BTW, I also have a Vita-Mix 5000 and I enjoyed your comparison post. When the time comes for my Thermomix purchase, my 5000 won't be going anywhere either. :)

It has several recipes that have come in very handy for me.
For instance, the Tomato Conserve.
Now I have been preparing tomato jams and all kinds of preserves for most of my life but they are all in large batches for canning.
This recipe is sized for the TMX with no need to convert. There are many others but this one I prepared yesterday. My garden is producing a prodigious number of tomatoes so I am making all kinds of tomato-y things.
Another one I prepared yesterday was the sweet chili carrot salad.

Thank you!
