I haven't tried that as I don't have the book. Is it worth getting do you think?

I love the book Moo2 but not everyone does - I personally think it is the best of the International series of books. I'll pm you the recipe so you can give it a try.

I quite like the book too. A lot of it is basic food but very tasty.

Thanks JD. Have you made the soup that Chelsea mentions?

judydawn · « **Reply #34 on:** October 24, 2011, 09:59:15 am »

No but I'd back Chelsea's judgement on any recipe

Oh, here's another thread on this soup - have a read of it before you go opening 2 cans of beans

Moo2 · « **Reply #36 on:** October 24, 2011, 10:08:31 am »

Thanks for the thread hint. I will definitely use only one tin as my lot are a little picky with beans but I love them so they have to put up with them.

I must get in the habit of checking for hints/reviews before I do anything. Trouble is though, I often read something and then forget about it 5mins later!

Yum! Simple hearty meal with no pretensions.

The lefovers the next day were even more delicious.

Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) · « **Reply #39 on:** March 20, 2012, 09:36:58 am »

It is even better the next day! Am glad you enjoyed it.

My family can't eat cabbage, can you suggest a substitute for cabbage.

judydawn · « **Reply #41 on:** March 26, 2012, 01:13:38 pm »

That's a tough one Sandip. Chow Mein without cabbage just doesn't sound right but I wonder if you could use bok choy instead or spinach perhaps. Is the Chinese cabbage no good either, that would be a good substitute here. What are others' thoughts on this question.

spektor · « **Reply #42 on:** March 27, 2012, 03:51:04 am »

What about baby spinach but not cooked in the varoma but rather stirred though the chow mein mixture at the end? (So put the rice basket on top of the TM lid in place of the varoma so steam can still escape)

In saying the above though, my skills in cooking are a bit basic (improving with TM) so I have no idea if the flavour would work.

That sounds a great idea. Then the spinach would just wilt.

Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) · « **Reply #44 on:** March 27, 2012, 09:35:42 am »

Oh golly, cabbage is the star. Perhaps some crunchy steamed beans and carrots for a bit of texture.
