Getting Started

Welcome to my "How to make a perfect Butter cake in your Thermomix course".

Go through each topic at your leisure. I've written them in order of learning, although if you want to get straight onto the baking of your first recipe please read the whole recipe and my tips first.

After reading this you'll see why I choose to use the Thermomix over the stand mixer.

At any point, you can go back over sections you've already completed and read them again.
