Your first week with a Thermomix
Seven days, each introducing one thing the machine does that a pan does not. Day one needs no heat at all; by day five you are making dough.

Thermomix meal plans you can actually cook
Two plans, each a short list of real dinners with a reason for every one. Every dish links to its recipe on Cookidoo®, so nothing here is a copy of somebody else's page. Start with the first-week plan if the machine is new.
The plans
Both are written for a TM7 and both work on a TM6 or TM5 unless a dish says otherwise.
Family weeknight dinners under 30 minutes
Five dinners, every one of them thirty minutes or less by Cookidoo's own published timing. No sides to organise, no second pan.
See the five dinnersHow do these plans work?
- Where do the recipes come from?
- Every dish links straight to its recipe on Cookidoo®, Vorwerk's own platform, which is where your TM7 reads recipes from. The plan and the reasons for it are mine; the recipes are theirs, so the link takes you to the source rather than to a copy of it.
- Do I need a Cookidoo® subscription?
- A new TM7 comes with a free three-month subscription. After that it is optional, and the machine still cooks without one. Vorwerk publish over 100,000 recipes on the platform, and set the subscription price themselves; both figures are on Vorwerk's TM7 page, checked 1 September 2026. There is more on this in the FAQ.
- Do I have to cook them in order?
- No. The first-week plan is ordered so each day introduces one new thing the machine does, which is the fastest way to stop reaching for the old pans. The weeknight plan is not ordered at all, it is just five dinners.
- Can you build me a plan?
- Yes, and that is most of what I do after someone buys. Tell me who you are feeding and what they will not eat, and the plan comes back around that.
