A Delicious Beginning!

One of my to do list in 2014 was to begin my culinary blog. Actually, I have been wanting to do this since forever. I've started compiling my culinary portfolio since 2010 so I think I have quite enough to begin with! Hehe, really excited with this little project and here I am, writing my first post.

To commemorate my new venture is my brand new Thermomix TM5! Yes, temptation got the better of me and I have just given myself the biggest excuse, I mean - reason to get it - a wedding present to myself! 

Actually, I've been holding back the urge to get myself a KitchenAid food processor for eternity as it didn't quite fulfil my wishlist - it was missing the mixer function which I require as well. And no way I was gonna buy both processor and mixer as it would take a big chunk of my storage space. So … I waited.

And I can't believe it, as I was contemplating over the last few months if I should get the Thermomix, Vorwerk suddenly launched the new model! Gosh, I am so thankful that I waited. Currently, there are really frustrated customers out there who were disappointed with the stealth launch as they've just recently bought the new 'old' Thermomix TM31. Bugger, I would have been devastated as this is probably a once-in-a-decade purchase! Anyway, I was in no hurry so I slowly researched on it's functionality and found out that it has been 7 years since the last launch so it was a matter of time before the new model is out. And lucky me! I placed my order a week after TM5 was launched =)

So here's my new toy … 






I have been really busy lately but I did manage to spend some time this weekend playing with it and made some delicious treats to familiarise myself. More on that later!

Meanwhile, welcome to my new blog! =D 

p/s: Please bear with me as I start setting up the blog's template .. recipes to follow!
