My Thermomix - no need to cheat

at cooking!

By Denise Bull

I received my Thermomix two years ago as a

wonderful birthday present and I use it every day.

The thing I like most is that with this one kitchen

appliance I can make complete meals easily

and with very little washing up too! One of my

favourites is the “All-in-One Salmon Tikka

Dinner with Rice” which I discovered at one of

the Thermomix Cookery Classes. My husband

Martin, who is not very keen on salmon,

thought it was delicious. To get someone to eat

a meal that they would normally avoid and have them

say they really enjoyed it is a great achievement!
There is currently an emphasis on TV and in cookbooks on taking

shortcuts to assemble meals quickly. Thermomix gives me an alternative

approach. I can cook everything from scratch with wholesome, traditional

ingredients and achieve better tasting, healthier food, all with less

effort. Everything is improved - there is no need to compromise.

For me,

Thermomix turns good ingredients into great tasting food with superb

flavours and textures... and with hardly any effort.

In our second issue of My Thermomix, we bring you more

personal stories of Thermomix users and several delicious

recipes for you to try. One of the great pleasures of working

with Thermomix is how delighted our customers can be - we

certainly have a rich source of user stories! In this issue, we hear

about Denise Bull who regularly attends our cookery classes,

Daniela Renno, a Thermomix Demonstrator in London and

John Campbell, Executive Chef of The Vineyard at Stockcross.
By the way, thank you for all your feedback on our first issue.

The Vineyard

at Stockcross

and its two Michelin-starred
restaurant was our venue
last year for a very special
customer event attended
by 20 Thermomix owners
and their guests. The chefs
showed us how they use
Thermomix in every section
of their kitchen and treated
us to a demonstration of how
they make their ice cream
mixes and pasta dough
with Thermomix. Our tour
of the kitchen was followed
by a fascinating visit to The
Vineyard’s amazing wine cellar.

We are delighted to profile
John Campbell, Executive
Chef, and his Head Chef,
Peter Eaton, in this issue
together with two of John’s
Thermomix recipes.

Thermomix on TV!

With so many professional chefs relying on

Thermomix in their kitchens, it was no surprise that top chefs competing

in BBC2’s Great British Menu insisted that Thermomix

was available in the competition kitchen. This popular

series concludes in June with the winners cooking for

a gathering of chefs and celebrities hosted by Heston

Blumenthal at the London Gherkin. You can see Great

British Menu on BBC2 at 6.30pm on weekdays.

Thermomix, The Vineyard, John Campbell and 2 Michelin Stars!

John Campbell’s genius lies in combining complex elements into dishes that look and

feel simple and natural, and taste delicious. His superb cooking has earned him an

international reputation for innovation, expertise and flair.

At the age of 15 John left school to work as a trainee chef and soon after he earned

a coveted Forte Hotels scholarship. In 1997 he moved to Lords of the Manor in

Gloucestershire where he continued to develop his food style and was awarded his first

Michelin star. John is the author of three internationally renowned books: Formulas

for Flavour, Advanced Practical Cookery, and he has just launched the 11th edition of

Practical Cookery which includes Thermomix methods e.g. ice cream mixes.

John is now Executive Chef of the 2 Michelin-starred restaurant The Vineyard at

Stockcross

, and in 2005 he invited Peter Eaton to be his Head Chef. “I never wanted

to do anything else but cook!” says Peter, who like John started cooking as a young

teenager and later gained invaluable experience at Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons.

Peter is looking forward to his wedding this coming September!

John and Peter are a great team, dedicated to flavour and perfection in the food they produce and to passing their

skills on to others. They both love using their Thermomix machines and are constantly working on new recipes and
techniques. John takes his Thermomix with him everywhere in a Thermomix travel bag so he always has it available for
demonstrations and recipe development.

Many thanks to John Campbell for these two stunning recipes.

My Thermomix - Top Tips

With the holiday season approaching you might want to treat yourself to some Thermomix cooking at

your holiday venue in which case a Thermomix Travel Bag could come in handy. The bag is made from

highly durable fabric with a separate compartment for the Varoma. Price : £48 plus post & packing.

Full Steam Ahead!

With the current renewed interest in
healthy steam cooking, it’s good news
that Thermomix has published an

excellent new recipe book

called

‘Full Steam Ahead’

with 70 international

recipes prepared using the

Thermomix Varoma. Book

price : £23.90 including

post & packing to any

UK address.

The TM31 Varoma has recently been

enhanced. It now has greater volume
and a see-through lid. Please contact
us for further details.

Technical Tip

• When you make

a cake mix or dough and you’ve
emptied the TM bowl, you can put

it back on the machine for 3 seconds/
Speed 10 to throw off more of the mixture
from the blades to the sides of the bowl.
Then you can use the spatula to remove
the extra mixture, and the blade will be
easier to clean. This is a valuable tip if
you are using expensive ingredients.

Cooking Tip

• For a flavour boost,

grind some dried wild mushrooms
at Speed 10 in your Thermomix until

they are powdered, then sprinkle over a
risotto or stir into a stew or casserole.

My Thermomix - A Love Story!

By Daniela Renno

Daniela joined UK Thermomix in 2005 as a Demonstrator.
Here she describes how she became passionate about her
favourite kitchen appliance.

A visit to my aunt in Italy was my introduction to cooking with

Thermomix and it was the start of my love affair with this

fabulous machine. My aunt had planted the seed with her

wonderful Thermomix cooking and I knew I had to have

one! Less than a week after returning to the UK I became
the proud owner of my own Thermomix. I thought I already

knew what it did, but after a fantastic demonstration I could

see it did so much more.

My Thermomix really does help me by saving both time and money and
enabling me to do so much more cooking. I love experimenting and once
you know the basics, you can do anything in it. Some of my favourites are
home made stock cubes, herb salts, Italian pickled vegetables and beef
with pizzaiola sauce. I also make all my own bread and mayonnaise now.

I didn’t imagine that I would become a Thermomix demonstrator, but I am
so pleased that I did – it’s taken me on a wonderful journey meeting people
and learning so much about international recipes.

I love my Thermomix and it has certainly paid for itself in many ways,
including saving about £20 per week on my grocery bill for two!

Thermomix on Tour is a nationwide series of group
demonstrations for those discovering Thermomix
for the first time.

On 17th June the Tour comes

to the

CheeseWorks (www.thecheeseworks.co.uk)

which is owned by Ben Axford, finalist of BBC’s Master Chef 2007. The evening
will start at 6.00pm and Ben will be doing a short talk and cheese tasting before
the Thermomix demonstration. Bookings on

01344 622 344.
