The Dummy Cook

We love the healthy nuts! We say it with tons of love! :)  Having a Thermomix makes you want to go back to the basics! Why? I'll explain: even though Thermomix is a very advanced piece of technology, it helps you cook from scratch and the results are so gratifying that you cannot see yourself buying a premade meal ever again.

I just started planting my own herbs at home so... I know what I'm talking about.

I have one word for you: Sustainability!

That was me! Easy instant gratification!
I'm hungry? I buy it! Done.

But we all know that's not healthy in the long run, we tell ourselves we'll be better soon, and "soon" never comes.

I hated the kitchen! If there was a futuristic pill that was the equivalent of lunch, I would have taken it just not to have to think about what to eat twice a day! And... now... Thermomix has changed that: it's fun, it's easy, it's so good I'm becoming a gourmet foodie!

When I talk to people about Thermomix, the busy bees always say "and now I would have to cook? I order everything in!" Yes, I know what you mean, but Cookidoo is an app that you can use on your phone, you can choose quick meals, create the shopping list and send it for delivery. Choosing easy hands-off meals would allow you to keep working while the meal gets ready... and remember that you'll be washing just one bowl (the way you would wash a blender).

When people say "The Thermomix" is expensive! I tell them: "No, it's not, it's a question of priorities". When you analyze what people spend on fast food, eating out, and premade meals... you can identify easy changes that would make the Thermomix a savings tool.

My Costco shopping cart used to be $400 on average and now I cannot get past $200 because when you are buying onions, carrots, uncooked protein, oil and flour (for example), life gets cheaper.

I have friends that really appreciate food, they love to go to restaurants, some of them go a few times a week. They take pictures of their food and post them, they talk about the last place they have found... Those people would absolutely enjoy a Thermomix! Just looking for recipes on Cookidoo as if it was Pinterest ;) and then cooking, appreciating every ingredient that goes in... and then enjoying the really high success rate of the recipes... seriously priceless!

A lot of people see the Thermomix in action, they love it (everyone does, that's not the question) and then they say:
"But I can cook"

Great! Chefs all over the world are using Thermomixes in their kitchens, they don't use the guided recipes but they use it as a tool. Its precision and accuracy make it the perfect employee (and it never calls in sick!), the Hollandaise Sauce is made hands-free, the risotto doesn't need to be stirred and the heat applied is always the correct one. A helper in the kitchen!

Another frequently asked question: what if I have a family of 6, or even 8?

1 - Some recipes are huge (the tinga de pollo can give chicken tacos to a group of 10 kids all weekend long!) and some are not that big, it's a question of choosing the ones needed.

2 - Right now, that family has a parent cooking all meals for everyone. Having a Thermomix would help because it could be cooking one of the main dishes, or a side, or dessert... big families need it as much as a chef needs it.

Or... we get the opposite question: it's just me, or just me and my husband, does it make sense?

Yes, it does. The recipes can be cut in half (half all the quantities, not the times needed for cooking) and Cookidoo has more than 80,000 recipes, many are small, just change the filter when searching to find recipes for 2 (or search for 4 and freeze part of it). Also, people that live alone and don't cook anymore have very limited diets, this is a fun way of enjoying food again.
