Pantry essentials for new Thermomix owners

Here is a list from Leonie from ThermoFun setting out what her and her ThermoFunkies recommend you have in stock to allow you to make endless variations of meals and snacks when you first get your Thermomix. It is a lot more detailed than my previous post on shopping when you have a Thermomix (https://simonesthermomixessentials.wordpress.com/2012/04/30/thermomix-shopping-list/) so consider this the deluxe version lol! Having these ingredients in your home means cooking from scratch is super easy with you and your Thermomix. Don’t be daunted by the length of the list, it is by no means essential that you have all these ingredients in your home. Start with what are the basics for you and your family and work up from there. Happy shopping!!
