Last Wednesday through Friday I was fortunate enough to spend time with 19 other bloggers at the first annual, Now your “Steam” Cooking Thermador Blog Event. They graciously put us up in the beautiful Gainey Ranch Resort in Scottsdale, AZ and boy did they feed us….well!
Thermador wanted us all to see an upclose and personal demonstration of their latest product…..The Thermador Steam and Convection Oven. Watching the staff at Thermador show us all the bells and whistles of the oven really showed how passionate they are about this product. It was amazing to see everything that could be done in a small but completely effective space. I have been a fan of the Thermador brand since my competitive cooking days when I won a recipe contest to be in a cookbook of theirs. Being in their gorgeous showroom and around the wonderful people who run their company just assured that they are a great company and brand.
I’ve posted probably one too many pictures of our trip, but thought I’d give you a run through of our time with Thermador 🙂 Also, see bottom of post for a list of all of the attendees 🙂
First stop was dinner at Mastros. Delicious food. Really enjoyed chatting with everyone.
This shrimp appetizer was the star of the show. Talk about gorgeous presentation!!
Thursday morning we all gathered in the lobby awaiting our 5 SUV’s to take us to the Thermador Showroom.
I have a weird thing for light fixtures!!
We got a full tour of their showroom and caught a glimpse of the chef preparing breakfast!!
Chef Kyle telling us all about the delicious breakfast.
You should have seen all 20 bloggers snapping pictures left and right through the entire event. Was quite entertaining! We’re such foodies!
A little oven demo.

Time for lunch.
More foodie Paparazzi! I have to say that I just LOVE the White on Rice Couple. Todd and Diane could not have been sweeter sharing their incredible talent with all of us. It was such a pleasure to spend time with them on this trip.
Lindsey firing up the torch for our creme brulee!
My roomie and food bloggin’ buddy Brooke from Cheeky Kitchen working those mashed potatoes. They were so yummy!
My fellow OC buddy Shanna from My Favorite Everything.
Lunch was awesome hence the thousand pics I took of the beautiful food!
The creme brulee was adorable in these star ramekins!
This tomato jam was irresistible. Shanna posted the recipe HERE.
Thank you Thermador for the incredible day in your showroom. The food was out of this world, your staff could not have been nicer and your products are gorgeous! Loved every bit of this trip 🙂
Thursday evening we had dinner at 5th and Wine Restaurant. Pretty much had to roll myself to the vehicles after this. Massive Food Coma, but oh so worth it 🙂
Had a fun gondole ride after dinner back at the hotel with Kristen, Brooke, Chris, Russell, Jennifer and Me 🙂 It was….the most interesting gondole ride I’ve ever taken, don’t think our gondolier enjoyed our silliness much!!
