Thermomix My Way of Cooking

Thermomix My Way of Cooking is the 312-page hardcover bible that first-generation TM5 owners still hunt for on the second-hand market. Released in 2012 as the official companion to the super-charged appliance, it moves far beyond the starter booklet: every recipe is engineered for the exact torque, temperature range and blade speed of the Thermomix, so you get silken soups, friction-less meringues and dough that never climbs the blade—results that are almost impossible to replicate with conventional cookbooks or internet recipes. Because the title has been out of print for several years, clean copies in tight, unwritten-in condition have become the go-to reference for new owners who want the original settings charts, troubleshooting photos and metric/imperial conversions that later reprints quietly dropped.

Inside you’ll find more than 200 triple-tested dishes arranged by meal type—breakfasts, 15-minute mid-week mains, celebration centrepieces, desserts and a full chapter on gluten-free, dairy-free and low-sugar spins—each coded with the Varoma, Turbo or Reverse symbols so you know which blade motion to use before you lift the lid. A standout is the “steam-and-blend” matrix: one page shows how to cook salmon, broccoli and quinoa simultaneously in the Varoma tray while the bowl whips a herb butter, giving restaurant-quality plating with one jug to wash. Health-minded cooks love the hidden nutrition panel tucked into the margin of every page; it lists calories, macro splits and sodium so you can track goals without a separate app.

Collectors prize this first edition for its heavy laminated boards and lay-flat spiral binding hidden beneath the spine—upgrades that later printings swapped for lighter glue. The copy offered here shows only light shelf scuffs and edge rubs, leaving the interior photos, gloss tabs and ribbon marker crisp and bright, making it gift-worthy for a new Thermomix household or a reliable backup for daily kitchen duty.
