A South African Odyssey Thermomix

A South African Odyssey Thermomix is the 2014 illustrated paperback that turns every Thermomix bowl into a passport to Africa’s most vibrant kitchens. Across 282 pages, food-writer Alice Piktijah distils rainbow-nation classics—bunny chow, bobotie, braai breads, malva pudding—into step-by-step, TM-specific speeds, times and temperatures, so the machine does the stirring, chopping, steaming and milling while you taste the continent. Spiced butternut soup, Cape Malay breyani, biltong-flavoured dips, low-GI sorghum salads and turbo-charged chakalaka are all here, plus a bonus chapter on gluten-free, diabetic-friendly and high-protein tweaks that keep the flavours proudly South African.
What makes this copy special is its collector-level condition: no inscriptions, ex-libris plates or dog-eared corners, and only a handful of pages carry the light cooking-splash “badge of honour” that proves it has already inspired real meals in a smoke-free kitchen. The colour photographs remain vivid, the spine tight, and every perforated template for vetkoek or koeksister sizing is intact—ideal for gifting to a keen cook or keeping as a future heirloom of Thermomix history.
Because the title was printed in a short regional run and never re-issued, clean copies are increasingly scarce online. Grab this one and you can safely simmer, knead and blend your way from township street-food stalls to Karoo farmhouses without risking your own book to turmeric stains—while the gentle page marks testify that the recipes inside truly work.
