Thermocook vs Thermomix – A Comparison
August 14, 2016 by
I don’t think there’s any doubt the Thermomix is like the Mercedes Benz of kitchen aids; it works beautifully and having one in your kitchen is a bit of a status symbol (admit it).

A couple of years ago someone in a Malaysian Facebook Group posted a link to SerembanGirl.com - a blog they'd stumbled upon, and which they'd enjoyed reading (well I think they did).
