5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Buying My Thermomix® – My Honest Story

When I think back to how it all began, I never imagined how much this little machine would change my life. I first dreamed of owning a Thermomix in 2017, back when I was in a different relationship, a different season of life — and a very different version of myself.

Back then, I was the only one who cooked at home, and when I showed interest in Thermomix, I was told I didn’t need it. "You're a great cook already — why would you need help?"

It didn’t help that the advisor I reached out to at the time refused to do a demo just for me. None of my friends were interested, so I felt like I didn’t belong. And so… I cancelled.

It wasn’t until years later, after life had changed and I was rebuilding myself, that the door opened again — this time through a Portuguese friend in Ireland who told me I could actually earn one for free.

I was on a tight budget. I didn't believe it would work.

But I tried. And I earned it.

And I stayed.

For the team spirit. For the unexpected joy.

For the freebies and the friendships.

And slowly, quietly, it became a business. One that now lives in many happy homes, and in the heart of Whiz and Feast.

Here’s what I wish I’d known from the start — in case you're standing where I once stood.

1. It's not just a blender — it's a full kitchen assistant.

I thought it would just help me chop and prep. I didn’t realise it would steam, knead, blend, sauté, ferment, weigh, and even clean itself. It replaced more than half the appliances in my kitchen — and it does them better.

2. Cookidoo isn’t just convenient — it’s empowering.

Having thousands of recipes from all over the world, in multiple languages, with adjustable servings? That was a dream I didn’t know I had. Whether I’m in a rush or feeling adventurous, Cookidoo helps me show up with confidence.

3. The price seems high — until you see what it gives you.

I won’t lie: the price made me pause. But when I looked at how much I spent on takeaways, wasted groceries, gadgets I didn’t use… it shifted.

And knowing I could earn mine, or pay in instalments, made it possible when I thought it wasn’t.

4. It adapts to your life — busy or quiet.

Whether I’m coming home from a long hospital shift or spending a soft Sunday making bread, Thermomix meets me where I am. It’s not just about food — it’s about peace, ease, and care.

5. I didn’t expect it to change my future — but it did.

I thought I was getting a kitchen tool.

I got a new community. A second income. Confidence. Freedom.

I became a Team Leader. I launched Whiz and Feast.

And now, I help others find their own version of this story.

Thinking about buying a Thermomix®?

You don’t need to be a chef. You don’t need a big kitchen. You don’t even need to be sure yet.

You just need a little curiosity — and someone who gets it.

I'd love to chat, answer your questions, or show you how it works — just for you, no pressure. Because I believe everyone deserves to feel supported in the kitchen, and beyond.

Are you thinking about joining and earning your Thermomix® because you relate to where I was — or where I still am, juggling life, work, and dreams?

By all means, reach out.

I’ll help you make it happen — with honesty, support, and a bit of Belle-style warmth along the way.
