Level-Up Family Cooking with the Thermomix TM7: Fun, Fancy Recipes to Make with Kids

Cooking with kids doesn’t have to mean only pancakes and cookies. With the Thermomix TM7, you can take family cooking to the next level - making dishes that look straight out of a café but are simple and safe enough for little helpers to join in. The TM7’s guided cooking mode keeps everything organized while you and your mini chefs tackle new flavors and skills together.

Here are some fun, slightly fancier Thermomix TM7 recipes the whole family will love - and that kids can help create every step of the way!

1. Homemade Herb Focaccia Bread

Why it’s fun: Kids love pressing their fingers into the dough to make those classic focaccia dimples!

TM7 Magic:

• Use the dough mode to knead perfectly elastic dough in under 2 minutes.

• Let the kids sprinkle on sea salt, rosemary, or cherry tomatoes before baking.

• Watch it rise and bake to golden perfection - perfect for tearing and dipping!

Tip: Pair it with a TM7-blended basil pesto or garlic butter.

2. Fresh Spinach Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce

Why it’s fun: You can sneak in some greens while teaching kids how pasta dough is made from scratch.

TM7 Magic:

• Blend spinach, flour, and eggs for a bright green dough using the knead function.

• Roll and cut it into fun shapes (lasagna sheets, tagliatelle, or bow ties!).

• While the pasta rests, make a silky Alfredo sauce in the mixing bowl - no whisking or burning!

Kid Job: Feed pasta through the roller or arrange it on a tray. They’ll love the bright green color!

3. Mini Lemon Meringue Tarts

Why it’s fun: Kids love watching egg whites whip into clouds of glossy meringue!

TM7 Magic:

• Make the pastry dough and lemon curd right in the Thermomix.

• Then whip up the meringue topping using the butterfly whisk - no arm work required.

• Let kids pipe the meringue on top and watch it brown in the oven.

Mini chef tip: Decorate with tiny fruit slices or edible flowers for an extra-fancy touch.

4. DIY Sushi Rolls (with a TM7 twist!)

Why it’s fun: Rolling sushi feels like edible art - and kids love choosing fillings.

TM7 Magic:

• Use the TM7 to perfectly cook and season sushi rice with rice vinegar and sugar.

• Let kids layer fillings like cucumber, avocado, or smoked salmon on the nori sheets.

• Roll, slice, and enjoy with soy sauce and homemade TM7-pickled ginger.

5. Chocolate Soufflé with Raspberry Coulis

Why it’s fun: Watching the soufflé rise feels like science magic!

TM7 Magic:

• Melt chocolate, whisk eggs, and blend batter - all in one bowl.

• Use the steam mode for foolproof results.

• While they bake, have kids blend raspberries and sugar into a coulis.

Serving idea: Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with the coulis for a restaurant-worthy finish.
