If you are thinking of buying a Thermomix or MyCOOK maybe you should take a look at the new Kenwood. I haven’t had the chance of a play yet but I have to say I would think twice before I laid $2 grand UD on the line for a Thermomix again when basically a good blender would do everything better! And, thanks Diana Hetzel for drawing this innovation to our attention.
