Your recipes on the Monsieur Cuisine
Connect or Smart: Zeste rewrites the recipes you import with your robot's speeds, temperatures and programs.
The Monsieur Cuisine looks like the Thermomix, but its settings are different: no half speeds or gentle stir setting, nothing above speed 3 once it's heating, up to 130 °C, and steaming goes through a program. Copying a recipe designed for the Thermomix means translating everything.
Choose "Monsieur Cuisine" in the settings: each step comes with whole speeds from 1 to 10, reverse rotation when the pieces need to stay whole, and the Browning, Kneading and Steaming programs when the recipe calls for them.
Monsieur Cuisine settings
- Temperature from 37 to 130 °C, speeds 1 to 3 while heating

Adapt a recipe to the Monsieur Cuisine with Zeste
Choose your robot
In the app, Profile › Units and cooking robot; on zeste.cooking, in Settings. Turn on cooking robot mode and choose Monsieur Cuisine. You only do this once.
Import the recipe
Share the reel or video to Zeste, or paste its link with the + button. A web page, a photo of a cookbook or a PDF work too.
Open the robot version
On the recipe, choose Robot version: the steps appear with their settings. Cooking mode shows them as chips and starts the timer for the right time.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a subscription?
No, cooking robot mode is included in the free plan. Only imports are limited without Pro (5 video/link imports per week).
Connect or Smart, does it make a difference?
The manual settings are the same on both: time, temperature, speed and direction of rotation. Zeste only uses the programs they share, Browning, Kneading and Steaming; the Smart's sous-vide or fermentation are for you to set yourself.
What about the recipes in the Monsieur Cuisine app?
They stay in the robot's app. Zeste is for everything else: reels, TikTok videos, blogs, photographed cookbooks.
Thermomix is a trademark of Vorwerk, Monsieur Cuisine of Lidl, Companion and Cookeo of Moulinex (Groupe SEB). Zeste is not affiliated with any of these manufacturers; the robots are drawn by Zeste.
