A South African Odyssey Thermomix is the 2014 illustrated paperback that every Thermomix owner curious about African flavours has been hunting for. Across 282 full-colour pages, Australian food writer Alice Piktija distils the vibrant cuisines of South Africa into recipes that take full advantage of the Thermomix’s speed, precision and versatility. From bunny chow and bobotie to malva pudding and rooibos-smoked snoek, each dish is engineered for the TM bowl and Varoma, giving readers authentic taste without the hours of traditional prep.
Beyond recipes, the book doubles as a cultural passport: short essays introduce the Cape Malay, Zulu, Afrikaans and Indian communities that shaped the nation’s foodways, while pantry guides explain how to source or substitute hard-to-find ingredients like buchu, amasi or peri-peri. Step-by-step photos show how to fold, steam and knead in the Thermomix, making it easy for young adults or kitchen newcomers to build practical skills while exploring global cuisine.
This particular copy is in acceptable condition—clean text block, no writing, dog-ears or stuck pages; only a few occasional kitchen splashes remind you it was actually used and loved. For collectors, it’s the elusive English-language title in the Thermomix series that rarely surfaces outside southern Africa.
