Editor's Review
Owning a Thermomix quickly turns into a hunt for recipes actually written for it, with the speed, temperature and time spelled out instead of left to guesswork. Cookomix is the French community that formed around that problem, and this app is its front end.
What you get is a large library of user-submitted recipes, each broken into machine steps you follow directly, plus photos, ratings and comments from people who have already cooked them. Those comments carry more weight than usual: when a dish needs two extra minutes or a smaller bowl, somebody will have said so underneath. Filters cover course, ingredient and preparation time, and saved recipes feed a shopping list.
The audience is narrow by design. Everything is in French, and every instruction assumes the machine is in front of you, so owners of a different appliance would be converting numbers by hand. The 4.74 average across 1M+ installs suggests the community keeps standards up, though as with any open collection of contributions, quality between individual recipes is uneven.

Questions people ask
Do I need a Thermomix to use it?
Effectively yes. Steps are expressed as machine settings, so on any other appliance you would be translating speeds and times yourself before you could cook anything.
Is there an English version?
No. Interface and recipes alike are in French, which reflects the community the site was built around.
