Fear is just excitement in need of an attitude adjustment! -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lauren Hayes via Cookinginthedark Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2014 8:59 PM To: [email protected]; 'gail johnson' Subject: [CnD] Thermomix Hi all, Gail asked about the Thermomix, so thought I'd write up a post for those who are interested. A thermomix is a bit like a food processor, blender and microwave all in one. It is made by Vorwerk, and distributed here by Thermomix Australia, not sure who would distribute it in the U.S. It's base contains the motor, and on the front of the unit are a series of buttons, with each button performing a specific function - timer, temperature control, blade function etc. On top of the unit is a jug, containing a blade on the inside. The thermomix has a number of attachments which can be placed on or inserted into the jug, including a basket (for cooking rice or pasta for example), and veroma, for steaming veggies or meat, poaching eggs etc. The model I just described is the TM31. It is very popular here and several people in the blind community have purchased one. The new model, the TM5, consists of a touch screen and no buttons, and it is completely inaccessible. I've been trying to get in touch with Vorwerk to inquire about why the new model isn't accessible and what they are planning to do about it, but my queries, and those of other blind thermomix users, are supposedly forwarded onto the appropriate people but we never get a satisfactory response. I'm in the process of purchasing a second hand model, but my concern is what happens when it breaks or I want to upgrade? At this stage, I won't be able to. Apart from the inaccessibility issue, it's a fantastic machine - an expensive purchase at $2000 (Australian), but worth it.

I'm not gluten free or anything but I like to find recipes for those with various intolerances which taste good to regular eating people. Many of my friends are gluten free, and nondairy lifestyle people. I hope youwill post some of your recipes especially main dish ones. I enjoy quinoa and I love food from all around the world. Is a thermomix, like a Vitamix? I live in Texas.
