Healthy recipes to cook with your Thermomix

Nick Duell (writer)10/12/2020

You’ve probably heard about the Thermomix, the kitchen appliance that takes the hard work out of cooking.

It performs a whole range of functions — 12 in total — including chopping, blending, weighing, and kneading, making cooking a pleasure.

As well as taking away the need to have multiple appliances in your kitchen, the Thermomix makes precision cooking a lot easier. In fact, it makes it very hard to not produce perfectly cooked and tasty dishes.

To illustrate how versatile the Thermomix is, we’ve collated a selection of healthy recipes for you to enjoy. Using fresh ingredients you can get on your regular fruit and veg shop, all of them are as nutritious as they are tasty.
