Thermomix

I have always believed that the selection and use of quality culinary equipment can greatly simplify a chef’s work in the kitchen. In addition to good pans and knives I personally use the Thermomix: a multi-purpose kitchen appliance combining a heating element, motor for fast or slow blending and stirring, and a weighing scale. As a Thermomix advisor I would be very happy to answer any questions you might have if you are interested in learning more. Click the link here to send me an email

Hi Kate , Oh my goodness we are just all coming down to earth ! What an amazing day ! We all absolutely loved it , and can’t wait for the next one ... .. honestly I can see us doing this on a regular basis ! I’m even considering moving to Penmaen ! ( one can dream !) ....... I can’t wait to write a review and also share our experience on my social media .. I have over 4K followers on Instagram , all foodies , mostly from Swansea / Cardiff and West . The whole day was such a wonderful escape from the current climate . Your home is just breathtaking . Your wonderful hospitality and the amazing ‘gift’ you are , really did lift us all ! So funny that the boys want to join us too for the next one ! I thought our group was a lovely mix with the jewel in the crown being you and not forgetting the wonderful Clive ! He was a cross between a Phillips Whirlpool and an Alexa ! If they start selling Clives on Amazon , there’s 4 orders already in waiting ! We are all in awe of the perfect man ! What a great team you are .. Your warmth , passion for food and humour really did make the day so special ! I even wanted to buy the book again ! Haha
