an appliance is only useful if you actually use it
aside from the dishwasher, my Thermomix® is the hardest working appliance I own!
I use my Thermomix® for everything from everyday cooking to baking. My approach is simple:
use it for the things that make life easier, then have some fun
the question isn't what can a Thermomix® do?
it's what would you like it to do for you?
The answer is different for everyone.
Maybe you're tired of deciding what's for dinner every night.
Maybe you'd love to bake more but don't have the time to make everything from scratch.
Maybe you've owned one for a while and know you're probably not getting everything out of it.
I can help you figure that out.
It’s not about showing you 17 different recipes you’ve never heard of. I’d much rather you know whether a Thermomix® makes sense for your kitchen.

The Thermomix® fits naturally into my world, so when I show you how to use it, it’s in the context of real life.
It’s not in a box on a shelf at a store where you have to flag down a 20-something year old uni student who’s living off noodles and has no clue what it’s like to get dinner on the table while playing taxi service to the kids.
that’s why Thermomix® uses consultants
If you're new to Thermomix®, I can show you how it fits into the way you already cook, rather than asking you to completely change it.
A demonstration is a chance to see Thermomix® in action, ask the questions that matter to you and get a feel for how it could fit into your own kitchen.
I’ll also show you through Cookidoo® which hosts thousands of Thermomix® recipes, guided cooking and planning tools.
And if you choose to buy one, you’ll get ongoing, approachable support designed to help you actually enjoy your purchase! The support doesn’t stop at the door.

Cook with me at gathered at home
Small cooking sessions in my kitchen, using recipes from gathered made in the Thermomix. If you already have a Thermomix, or you're still deciding, it's a good way to see it used for everyday food. Morning Tea or From the Pantry, 8 people each.
See details and bookgot questions about Thermomix®?
-
The Thermomix® TM7 is the current model.
-
Absolutely! Get in touch to book a demonstration. There are so many online tutorials, but sometimes it’s different to see it in-person. I can go one step further and offer a loan machine to locals who want to give it a try at home.
-
No, not at all. If you love it and have friends who are interested, I’m happy to run a demo at your place. Sometimes you just need an excuse to have a girls night!
-
Once you’ve finished playing “stalk the delivery driver,” you’ll squeal and unbox your new favourite appliance.
But unlike the big box stores, we don’t dust our hands and call that done.
I become your go-to for help getting started, answering questions, help with recipes or conversions, and ongoing support.
-
Yes, of course.
-
Of course! Reach out. I’m happy to help.
-
Yes, and I find this is a great starting point. We’ve all got our favourite recipes that we love to make (so much so that I’ve turned a whole collection of favourite recipes into a cookbook - Gathered!)
-
-
Easy peasy, just click here - I’ve added one to cart for you. Just make sure my name is listed as your consultant (Melissa Mielekamp) so they know who’s here to help you with your new toy!
already have one sitting on your bench?
A Thermomix® can do an awful lot, which is wonderful until you realise you've been using yours for the same 3 recipes for the last 2 years.
If you've bought a TM6 or TM7 and feel like there's more you should be doing with it, Mel can help you work out where to start.
Bring your questions, your favourite recipes, the things you haven't quite figured out or the modes you've never touched.
There's no prize for figuring it all out yourself.
Just got yours? Start here: your Thermomix, what now?
