Title: Tenina Leaves Thermomix Officially!
Post by: Tenina on July 09, 2011, 01:25:19 am
Hi guys,

not sure if it rates a whole thread, but thought I would let you all know I have left Thermomix Australia and although I will be consulting back to both Thermomix and Vorwerk periodically, I will actually be pursuing my own business running advanced Thermomix cooking classes in Perth initially, but hoping to bring them to a city near you depending on demand.
I recognise the gap in the market with what is provided by HO and so that is what I aim to fill, I hope to get support from all and sundry. I have had great feedback so far and as you can imagine, it was a tough decision…fingers crossed, so far so good!
I have Grace's blessing which was very important to me, so you should expect to hear about the classes through the normal channels of Thermomix, but if not, they will certainly be on https://www.facebook.com/cookingwithtenina (https://www.facebook.com/cookingwithtenina) and also my new website that is still under construction at www.cookingwithtenina.com (http://www.cookingwithtenina.com). My original (and the best) blog will still operate as usual, and my recipes will still come churning out!
I am looking forward to some exciting times ahead, and hope to finally meet a whole lot of you!

Wow, that was a surprise.  Yes, I agree this is exactly what is needed and what our members have been screaming out for - nice to see someone has been listening even though the payoff is that H.O. is losing you.  Big shoes to fill - hope they are successful. Good luck Tenina - you are going to be one very busy lady.  :-*

Totally thrilled to bits for you Tenina. The news is a bit of a shock as you are such an established face of Thermomix and the development of recipes for Australia.

This is a very exciting step for you and for Thermomix owners are well. I'll certainly be trying to book into some of your classes when they come to Vic!!

All the very very best! xx

Great news Tenina.  We will support any visits to Melb, (vic).  Just give us plenty of warning so we can pass the word around.  You will be doing just what people here want.

Guys, I just have to let you know how heartening it is to have all your feedback, whether you are in the country or not! FAB U Lust!

I am nearly ready to let it all be out there, but I will say, that you should all be on http://www.facebook.com/cookingwithtenina (http://www.facebook.com/cookingwithtenina) to hear the news, though I will post it over here as well.

Thanks again…you are all awesome!  ;D

Yes you do…you have to be a FB user already, and then go to the 'wall' option on the LH side menu, then hit 'like'. Then you can comment, join the discussion etc. Otherwise you cannot join in. But like I said, I will be posting all the info on here as well with the Moderators blessing! (Yay for Here!!)  :-))

Good luck for your very first class Tenina!  I just wish I could make it. Hope to get to the next Perth one, or, if you ever have one in Albany, I'd come to that one for sure.

Great to hear that you've taken the plunge and will fill that void for Thermomix. All the very best. (http://www.thedishforum.com/smilies/love-friendship-drool/smooch.gif)

Thanks Megan…I was in ALbany last weekend, but not for a class, but I will be down doing a class sooner or later and am planning a foodie retreat down there. SO exciting. So you will definitely get a chance sooner or later!
Keep spreading the word, I am getting minimal  to no help from HO of course!

Tenina I hope that all continues to run smoothly with your classes - be sure to give us plenty of warning if you plan on being anywhere near the CQ region.  I will definitely help spread the word as the our consultant has nothing to do with this forum. Cheers  :)  :)
