What this blog is about and update over a year on.

Had a query from a reader and just wanted to clarify for those that haven't read from the beginning what this blog is about.

My intention when starting this blog was to provide a daily diary of how often I used the thermomix and for what. When I was researching the tmx I found lots of blogs with lovely recipes but still had no idea if the owner used it once a week, once a day, or one in a blue moon. Hence, thermomix meals was born.

I do write up recipes when I convert or make up something new. And when I cook a new recipe from the Thermomix Forum or a blog I provide a link to it. However, on subsequent cooks usually I don't as it's very time consuming to find the recipes. (I print off recipes I like and use those). Also I cook quite a few things just off the top of my head. Though I often try to at least leave notes on how it was cooked.

This reader wasn't sure how to find the recipes I was talking about so thought I'd post to clarify.

I will also try to make a note next to recipes where they are from (eg cookbook and name, blog, forum, my head, lol) as I do think I've got a bit slack at doing that in the last few weeks.

Oh and whilst I'm posting. Just have to say I've had my thermomix for over a year now and I'm still loving it. It's well paid for itself and is used early every day and quite often numerous times.

I use the tmx more than I use other cooking methods, eg. oven, stove, though I do like a variety.

A new journey

After a lot of thought, deliberation and saving I have finally purchased a Thermomix.

Now I'm just impatiently waiting for delivery and planning lots of yummy things to cook.

If you don't know what the wonder machine, Thermomix, is then have a look at Thermomix Australia to see all about it.

It's an innovative kitchen appliance that mills, grinds, mixes, minces, kneads, cooks and steams, all in one great unit. A brilliant time saving tool that also allows you to make a lot of things easily from scratch.

I've decided to blog my journey with my Thermomix. In particular noting what I use it for daily. I know when I was researching I found lots of yummy recipes and great testimonials but wanted to see more of how people used it on a day to day basis and how often it was used.

So now to just await delivery and plan my first meals!

A little about me!

I'm Zan, Mum to 3 girls in Sydney, Australia. I am a fibre artist (dyer, spinner, knitter) and run a WAHM online business ArtEZan which stocks my products (Zanz hand dyed) as well as other talented WAHM products (including children's clothing, cards, beaded items, jewellery) and knitting accessories.

I'm really looking forward to experimenting with the Thermomix, making more foods from scratch and making some of the things I make now quicker and easier. My kids are looking forward to lots of custard!
