What Is Cookidoo?
Cookidoo is Thermomix's official recipe platform, developed by Vorwerk. It's the digital hub that transforms your Thermomix TM7 from a powerful kitchen appliance into a guided cooking assistant.
Think of Cookidoo as Netflix for recipes, but instead of watching, your Thermomix follows
along and guides you through each step automatically.
Feature | What It Means |
Guided Cooking | Step-by-step instructions appear on your TM7 screen |
Auto Settings | Time, temperature, and speed are set automatically |
80,000+ Recipes | Constantly growing library from Vorwerk and community |
Multi-Device | Access on TM7, phone, tablet, and computer |
The platform launched with the TM5 but has evolved significantly. Today's Cookidoo is fully integrated with the TM7's larger touchscreen, making navigation smoother than ever.
How Much Does Cookidoo Cost in the UK?
Cookidoo subscription pricing in the UK is straightforward:
Subscription Type | Price | Details |
Annual Subscription | £50/year | Full access to all features |
New TM7 Purchase | 3 months FREE | Included with every TM7 |
Monthly Option | Not available | Annual only in UK |
What's Included in the £50 Annual Fee?
Your Cookidoo subscription includes:
· Unlimited recipe access – All 100,000+ recipes
· Guided cooking – Step-by-step on TM7 screen

Is There a Free Version?
Yes, but it's limited. Without a subscription you can:
· Browse recipe previews (but not full instructions)
· Access a small selection of free recipes
· Use basic search functionality
However, you cannot use guided cooking on your TM7 without an active subscription.
How Does Cookidoo Work With Your Thermomix?
The magic happens when Cookidoo connects to your TM7. Here's the process:
Step 1: Connect Your TM7 to WiFi
Your Thermomix TM7 needs an internet connection to sync with Cookidoo. Go to Settings > WiFi on your TM7 screen and connect to your home network.
What you'll need:
· Your WiFi password
· A stable internet connection
Step 2: Log Into Your Cookidoo Account
On your TM7, navigate to Cookidoo and sign in with the same account you use on the website or app. Your recipes, collections, and meal plans will sync automatically.
Pro tip: Use the same email address across all devices for seamless syncing.
Step 3: Select a Recipe and Start Cooking
Browse or search for a recipe, tap Cook Now, and your TM7 takes over. Each step displays on screen with:
· Clear instructions
· Pre-set time, temperature, and speed
· Visual guides and tips
· Automatic progression to next step
Step 4: Follow the Guided Steps
Simply add ingredients as instructed and press the dial to start each step. The TM7 handles all the technical settings—you just follow along.
What Are the Benefits of a Cookidoo Subscription?
Benefit | Details |
Saves time | No more searching for recipes or calculating settings |
Consistent results | Tested recipes with precise TM7 settings every time |
Reduces waste | Shopping lists based on exact quantities needed |
Builds skills | Learn new techniques with guided instructions |
Meal planning | My Week feature plans your entire week in minutes |
The My Week Meal Planner
This feature alone justifies the subscription for many users. My Week lets you:
1. Drag recipes onto a weekly calendar
2. Automatically generate a combined shopping list
3. Adjust portions for each meal
4. Sync your plan to your phone for shopping
Most users report saving 2-3 hours per week on meal planning and shopping list creation.
Is Cookidoo Worth It?
Here's an honest assessment based on different user types:
Cookidoo IS Worth It If You:
· Use your Thermomix 3+ times per week
· Want guided cooking on the TM7 screen
· Value meal planning and shopping list features
· Enjoy exploring new recipes regularly
· Appreciate automatic settings (no manual programming)
Cookidoo May NOT Be Worth It If You:
· Rarely use your Thermomix
· Prefer creating your own recipes from scratch
· Already have favourite recipes memorised
· Don't need the TM7 screen for guidance
The Numbers
At £50/year, Cookidoo costs:
· £4.17 per month
· £0.96 per week
· Less than a takeaway coffee
If you use just 2 Cookidoo recipes per week, that's under 50p per recipe for guided cooking with tested settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Thermomix without Cookidoo?
Yes, your Thermomix TM7 works perfectly without a Cookidoo subscription. You can use manual mode to set your own time, temperature, and speed for any recipe. However, you won't have access to guided cooking or the 80,000+ recipe library on your TM7 screen.
Does Cookidoo work offline?
Partially. Recipes you've recently viewed are cached and may work offline temporarily. However, for reliable access, you need an internet connection. Cookidoo isn't designed for offline use, and syncing requires WiFi.
Can I share my Cookidoo subscription?
Your subscription is linked to one account, but you can log into that account on multiple devices. Family members can use the same login on their phones and tablets. However, only one TM7 can be linked to an account at a time.
How do I get the 3-month free trial?
When you purchase a new Thermomix TM7, your advisor will provide a code or link to activate your free trial. Register your TM7 on Cookidoo and the trial activates automatically. Make sure to do this before purchasing a subscription.
What happens to my recipes if I cancel?
Your saved recipes, collections, and Created Recipes remain in your account but become inaccessible until you resubscribe. Nothing is deleted—resubscribing restores full access to everything you saved.
