Just received this on friday, thank you Bedlam.
As anyone made any recipes yet?
Dulse sea vegetable flakes?!?!? What are these and where can you buy them. It seems a lot of recipes need the umami paste so i need to buy the flakes.
Would be interested which recipes young children enjoyed
Thanks
Hally :)
-
Hally, just try different health food shops - not everyone stocks it apparently but it is available and there are plenty of Perthites who have been to Tenina's classes who have bought and made this paste so they will head you in the right direction no doubt.
-
Hally if you are unable to locate any locally. I've ordered some from here in readiness. ;D

-
Hally I tried a few health food shops and eventually foound one that stocked it. I guess there are some at GC. Give them a try.
-
Hally, mine is called Sea Power (certified Organic Dulse Flakes) I bought it at Healthy Life Carine, think they have a store at Willetton. Might be worth a phone call, to see if they stock it.
Just saw a warning on the back of the packet: that is may contain trace amounts of crustacean shellfish,
My friend is allergic to prawns I won't be able to give her anything made with Umami paste.
-
What is a dinner spinner, cheers
-
It's a Thermomix recipe book just published, written by Tenina Holder:
http://tenina.com/store/#ecwid:category=1745564&mode=product&product=7403680
Costs $16.50 - available from her website soon.

For those that can't use dulse flakes like me (DH very allergic to shellfish!! :-))) you can use wakame.
I didn't even check the packet, had no idea (certainly didn't think about it!!), was just idly reading the info on the back when I saw it, luckily it was before I opened it!!
Gave it away to a friend and used the wakame - have been using that for ages with my salt so know it is ok :)
-
Looks good. Would love to see the index
-
only 175 copies left from 600 :o good on you tenina
-
Looks good. Would love to see the index
Yes - does anyone know the index??
-
Thans faffa, i am allergic to seafood too.
Hope to find the wakame at gc.

Ordered mine today. Thanks Tenina for helping me with my order. Looking forward it receiving it.

Good good, I'll order in a couple of days then once we've swapped into the new month Credit Card wise. (Its okay, CC auto pays off the full amount from bank account, but delaying payment 30 days is always useful)

Thanks Nay. Are these all new recipes Tenina or are some recipes those you've developed and are already in other books. I seem to recognise the 5 spice sweet and sour meatballs as I did a recipe from the MOTM book with that name. Liking that list though.
-
I think mostly new, I did try and bring all new, but there may be a few tweaked versions…the main thing is, they all work. Triple tested! hahaha
I am using the Dinner Spinner myself believe it or not. I think of it as your friend in the kitchen! (shop, handbag, whatever!) SO easy to use and I love it myself…hilarious. I am usually trying something new so I can blog about it, but suddenly, I am thinking, Wednesday is Shredded Chicken Salad day….forever!
;D ;D

Hi Tenina.
I tried to order your book & pay with PayPal, but after going through most of the process, it states that it doesn't deliver to my address. I'm in SA, & it had said that the delivery would be $4. I tried to pay twice, so I hope I haven't actually paid anything!
Thanks, Sue
-
Hi! Thanks so much faffa for the wakame recommendation. Have ordered the dinner spinner . . and now the wakame in anticipation! I ordered it from
http://www.getprice.com.au/Power-Superfoods-Sea-Power-organic-wakame-leaf-seaweed-1kg-Gpnc_319--40260068.htm :)
-
I am still trying to buy wakame here in perth. I can buy it online but the postage was more than the product.
Any perthites bought wakame?
H :)
-
Hally, this one is close and I saw the wakame flakes there yesterday when I bought the dulse flakes. They seem to have everything and is now my shop of choice if I need something organic or different. The lady who owns it is nice and very helpful.
http://www.preciousorganics.com.au/
I am also allergic to shellfish but only if I actually eat them. I am ok with oyster sauce and can eat fried rice if I pick the prawns out. My father in law was so allergic he couldn't even eat the fried rice after the prawns were picked out.
-
Thanks Jan, that place is indeed very close by. I have never heard of it.
Will go there monday.
Thanks again
H :)
-
Hally, you can't see the shop from Marmion St but if you turn into Mullings and then into the carpark it's right next to the music shop.

Oh Sue, noooo, sorry about that, please email me with a phone number and we will sort it out for you.
Hope you will be spinning away soon!

Thats great Hally. Did you have time to look around the shop?
-
No i was on the way back from tne gym & had a friend coming for lunch, so needed to get the risotto on & shower, next time. I sometimes go to the iga there.

I'm still yet to receive my thermie but the umami paste is the very first thing I want to make. I've been to a couple of health food shops but couldn't find dulse flakes - I did find wakame at the local asian grocer (thanks faffa for the recommendation!) so I have a packet of that if my thermie arrives before I find the flakes.
I think I will be purchasing Dinner Spinners very shortly. Tenina - you have the best collection of thermomix recipes!

Thanks Snappy, you are going to just LOVE having a Thermie…hope you visit me often! :D
-
YAY, glad you are liking the recipes…almost every comment I get on Facebook is about a different recipe that someone loved. SO happy about that!
;D ;D
-
Ok... I am embarrassed to say that I can't seem to work out how to purchase this book... :-[ :-[ can someone please help me out ??
-
you can get it from Tenina here (http://www.tenina.com/store/) :)
-
Thanks faffa.... now it's out of stock... :( Hopefully it will be available again soon :)
-
I'm sure she will have it in stock again soon :0
If anyone SOR is desperate for one before Tenina's stocks a replenished I have 3 copies still available for the $15 - otherwise if you are NOR you could arrange to collect from Bethesda hospital as I am there probably every second day at the moment.
Hope your stocks aren't too far away Tenina as everyone is going to be wanting one the more we rave about them!! :-* :-*
-
(http://www.thedishforum.com/smilies/sad/crybaby.gif) I want this book!! WAAAH!!
-
you and me both mj ;D
-
Back in stock soon girls…seriously wanting it myself…sold literally my personal copy! Now thats desperate!
-

Wow, that's good to hear Tenina! Great that sales have skyrocketed for you. Well done!
-
Thanks Megan…more arriving Monday we have been told, but will keep my fingers crossed in the meantime.
Merry Christmas to you, we will talk soon re your chocolate lippys… ;D
-
Oh, I'd quite forgotten about those!! They're really popular!
-
Oh Tenina, what a book/leaflet or whatever :D
Last night we had the Almond Chicken Curry with Yoghurt. Another hit. It was ever so nice. As there is only 3 of us I halved the recipe. I served it with rice, corn, broccoli and carrot. We then had some pappadums to help slurp the extra sauce.
Thanks again for another winner. :-*
YAY…so happy to hear that, it does make a truckload, but easily adapted as you did.
Good news is folks, we have it from printer that we should have new Dinner Spinner stock available on Monday 12th December…so order fast and you will get them in time for Christmas. I think they will get snapped up and we only have 400 this time! (until the new year!!)
I am now working on another project…so it will never stop, order up big! hahahaha :D
-
Judy when the polenta is set and cold you can cut it into pieces and grill them to go with another meal. I made polenta french fries once and they weren't too bad.
-
Thanks Cookie. I have also read where you can slice and freeze pieces too so I will probably do that as well or we will soon be sick of polenta ;)
-
Slow cooked chilli pork, used 3 fresh chillies seeds removed and kelpmore instead of dulse flakes - very tasty and a definite make again - thanks Tenina

UUmmm, yummy…great pic!
-
Finally got to have a look at this while at Johnro's on the weekend. Can't wait for the next release so I can get a copy.
BTW the home grown tomatoes were beautiful Johnro. So much tastier than those bought from a shop.
-
It was my absolute pleasure :) :)
-
Did you both use speck as specified. I'm sure Foodland don't sell speck so I guess there is a substitute we could use. Proscuitto, bacon, even ham perhaps??
-
I used prosciutto in mine. When Tenina made it at her class she used smoked turkey.
-
Thanks Cookie, that makes it easier to have alternatives.
-
I love the dinner spinner book. So far I have made the Umami Paste (Sea flakes from Health food shop at Melville shopping Centre), Slow Cooked Pork Chilli (I used 1 fresh chilli, children loved it but washed it down with water), Almond Chicken Curry with Yoghurt - children raved but still a bit spicy, Speck & Salad Pizza. The whole family + visiting childen have LOVED every recipe. Can't recommend enough! :)
-
Looks lovely Judy.
Today I made the Fisherman's Pie and seeing my DH only finishes work at 7pm I had a little taste. Really nice. I will increase the vegies next time and also add some corn kernels, another winner Tenina. :)

This was going to be next on my list Julie. Love the way people are working through the whole 'book' - won't be long and we will have reviews of everything in it.
-
That looks lovely JulieO. It's on our menu for next week. When DD arrives home from work and asks 'what's for dinner?' If I reply a recipe from Dinner Spinner she's very happy.
-
Love the way people are working through the whole 'book' - won't be long and we will have reviews of everything in it.
Must admit this is the first book I've wanted to pretty much make everything in it! :D I can't wait for her new book. ;D
Thanks Cookie, I can understand why. ;D
-
Anyone know if Tenina is taking pre-orders for her next book, the price etc?
-
I wish she would then I could relax knowing I've ordered it. ;D
-
Tenina posted on FB today that the Dinner Spinners have arrived and are back in here online shop only 400 this time. Get in quick before they all go. She also mentioned if ordered today they would be there before Christmas.
-
390 left

390 left
384, but we have a few manual orders to put through that will bring it down significantly…great little present for the Thermomix owners in your life, and pretty adaptable to the TC.
Hoping to sell out again, if ordered this week, we do a 1/2 day turnaround so you should get them by Christmas though the 13th is the last day that AUssie post are guaranteeing pre Christmas delivery…so get in quick all!
Merry Christmas
:)
-
Hopefully my daughter just ordered one for me for Christmas :)
-
hahahaha, Yvette, I hope so too! ;D
-
(http://www.thedishforum.com/smilies/happy-clapping/bliss.gif)
I've ordered mine!!
-
I love mine so much I've ordered 1 for my friend for Christmas. I'm sure she will love it as much as I do. The almond Chicken curry is next on my hit list, then the 5 spice meatballs then the slow cooked pork then ,then ,then .......... ;D
-
Any news yet on the book Tenina is bringing out? (I want to buy myself a Christmas pressy ;))
-
This is Tenina's book that we're discussing in the post CP!
I've just ordered another one for my DD.

I think CP is talking about Tenina's other cookbook that's coming out now mid January called "For Food Sake" MJ.She talks about it here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=7768.0)
-
Any news yet on the book Tenina is bringing out? (I want to buy myself a Christmas pressy ;))
she told me because of binding issues ie everything closed over christmas... it wont be out before mid jan now :((( I am waiting on the new book and will get the spinner one along with it once both are in stock....waiting waiting lol! So you will have to find yourself another chrissy pressie OR get yourself a belated one :P
-
thanks girls, yes I suppose I'll treat myself to something else while I wait...
-
Tenina, can you tell me if the 'dinner spinner' recipes are in the new book? Or in addition to? I've ordered Dinner Spinners for a friend but thought I'd wait and get the other book for myself when it comes out. Should I get both?
Can't wait until Saturday when I'm giving my friend her copy... bet she'll be thrilled!
-
Tonight I made the Five-spice sweet & sour meatballs, except mine disintergrated in the bowl, all except for 1 :-)). Didn't matter because it tasted good and it looked like this is how it's supposed to look like anyway ;D
I only left a few seeds in the chilli, but for some reason it was quite hot today, so have made a note for myself to completely deseed next time. There were a couple more little tweaks to suit our tastes, but was thoroughly enjoyed. :D

JO I think you should take all the photos for Teninas recipes :D
-
I think Julie should be a food photographer full stop lol...lovvvvvvvvvvvve your photos..think they could make anyone drool!! lol :-*
-
What a lovely rich colour that mince is JulieO - love the way you perched the one and only meatball on the top :D
Not too many recipes left to review in Dinner Spinners, Tenina will be pleased so many have been tried and reviewed here.
-
I am waiting on the new book in jan to get both of her books at the same time...i hate giving so much towards Australia Posts profit margin lol so will wait for just the one lot of postage! Oh and as her book wasnt in until jan i treated myself to in the mix and demonstator delights as well (thanks for the tip off CC that they had arrived in the UK :-*) ...still cost me a small fortune as they had to send it by courier...but not as much as oz !
-

Hi Deedub, no repeats from Dinner Spinner in the big book…
And not sure what happened with the breaking up of the meatballs, did you cook them in oven as directed first? Pic is still gorgeous JulieO... ;D ;D
-
Another lovely Dinner Spinner Winner here tonight.The slow cooked Chilli Pork. I actually used beef. The flavours in it are really something. I see why everyone liked it so much, me too.
-
Tenina, yes I did cook the balls in the oven first, they were quite firm when I put them in the bowl. I think it may be because I only formed small balls, not a fan of big balls ;D I think they just couldn't handle the moving around in the bowl. No matter it still tasted great, I think next time I will try keeping them warm from the oven and just add them to the cooked capsicums and sauce at the end of cooking and combine. They should def stay together then. :)
Thanks for your nice comments girls. :D

Thanks Tenina, I definitely want those Dinner Spinner recipes so I'll get both.

Mine arrived today sshhhhh my daughter ordered it for Christmas as a surprise
-
Today I made the Pesto Chicken Pinwheels. I did cheat a little, only because I had some basil pesto made already in the fridge. I used that up and followed the rest of the recipe.
Another enjoyable meal and the baked potato went really well with this as well as a dollop of my capsicum relish. :)

Another winner, looks great Julie.
-
looks fantastic Julie, can't wait to get my book.
-
Just ordered another book for myself - chicken pinwheels definitely on the 'must do' list!
-
I've ordered mine as well..... a Christmas present to myself ;)
-
yum julie yum ;D
-
You and that camera produce the most amazing pics Julie - I hang out to see your posts :) :)
-
Aww thank you Johnro, (and everyone else). I enjoy doing it. ;D
-
again and again..seriously what is your day job...QUIT and do this lol! Those kind of photos are what sell books..the first thing i do when i look at cookbooks is check out hte photos..not a fan of the cheffy old fashioned books that have none or very few...photos sell a dish...droooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
-
My Dinner Spinner parcel arrived this week and yesterday we had double recipes of Feta Tart and Sweet and Sour Meatballs featured in a dinner party for twelve. Have pics to post as soon as someone in the family can help me upload them. We had the same meatball disintegration issue mentioned already despite having read about it before cooking and pre-baking till fully sealed and brown. The second time we made them we put the capsicum in underneath the rissoles and that did seem to protect them a bit. The Vodka Feta Tart was amazingly good. We served it as an entree and a double recipe was demolished. Very popular with men and women, young and old - delicious, different, attractive and very easy finger food.
-
We are at our timeshare ATM. Made the tandoori chicken last night, made all the sauce & froze 1/2. Very flavoursome and will look forward to sing the next batch.
Can we pre-order the new book in that comes out in Jan?
Our internet went down wed, hope to have it up and running before xmas. Have a Sim card in the ipad but it seems touch & go whether it works or not.

No preorders available yet of For Foods Sake, but we are excited…you’ll get a copy Hally, internet down or not! :D Hope you have a great break.
-
im not sure if there is another topic open but just discovered that you can get Dinner Spinners from the app store ...yayyyyyyyyy!! I will still get a hard copybecause I like hard copies but so happy I can get a version of Dinner Spinners before chrissy...THANKYOU Tenina!!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* I couldnt find it doing a search but if you go to her facebook page and link from there no problems (more for overseas members if you cant find it on a search)...
-
Apparently on the itunes store it takes 24 hours for it to show up across all things…so by this time tomorrow all good. Not in ipad mode yet, but we are doing that as well…takes the time that it takes…so EXCITING!
Wasnt planning a French version Frozzie, unless you want to translate! ;D ;D
-
how many recipes are there lol!!
-
Well as it happens not that many….
-
I would be happy to translate if you need me to and its something you want to pursue...I will end up translating some of them anyway due to friends probably asking me for the recipes lol...I know alot of my girlfriends get disappointed when they hear of applications coming out and them only being in english...are the ingredients all fairly 'easy to obtain' ingredients??
If you did a hard copy in French also you would be the first non Vorwerk Thermomix cookbook on the market here... ;D
-
That is an interesting idea Kim, and I will discuss it with my marketing manager…we are flat out trying to keepup with the English demand at the moment, but we have toyed with the idea of translation. It is the ingredients that present the biggest issue, as some things are called different names etc, but by and large I think we could work it out with the excellent help from here! hahaha
:D
xx
-
well PM me if you want me to help out with the translation Tenina...id be happy to help out.. ;D
-
Thanks Tenina, if i dont get one, i'll come & hunt you down..just joking.LOL ;D
Looking forward to using it. The dinner spinner a great size to take away.
The only thing with using the tm out of the house, you really need to plan to make sure you have all the ingredients with you, not just dinner spinners any tm recipe.
Made the umami paste before we left so have that in the fridge. Trying the tuscan beef stew tomorrow, but prob with rice as thats what i have here.
H :)
-
I ended up buying two, one for my daughter. She's only had her TMX for a couple of weeks and is loving it.
-
I wondered about that Megan, (as I mailed the second one) we only wish we had seen your double order before we sent it off, could have saved you $4! hahaha
The price of a lippy!

Tennis, with the apps wil all the recipes from the book end up being on there or are they different recipes? I much prefer purchasing ebooks and unlike a lot of people happy to pay similar price for cookbooks wether they are hards copies or ebooks. I'm hoping the dinner spinners app is only selected recipes as I've already purchased the actual book.
-
Absolutely loved the chicken salad with Vietnamese dressing!
The flavours of the dressing left a lovely after-taste. Must admit I only added a few drops of fish sauce as I'm not a big fan, but it turned out perfect. This would make a lovely salad even without the chicken.
I can see me making this one often. :D

Hi there, as you may know, most books are fast becoming apps shortly after, so yes all the recipes and a few extra are on the app. It is only the price of a coffee and a slice of cake (cheap slice of cake at that) so I guess you will have to decide if the convenience is worth that. There is a Lite version due out soon which is free but only has a few recipes in it, so you can try it out and see if you find the app of value…
For me to keep doing what I do, (although I can honestly say I would do it for the love of it), I must pay the bills somehow, so that is why there will be more books, more apps and yes, the BIG book out in January…so hoping you will continue to keep spreading the word and buying the stuff I produce so that it will be possible. Otherwise, I may have to go get a real job! (YIKES!)
;D ;D
-
i love the app and think it will be even better on ipad...on all recipe apps on the iphone I have trouble seeing all the info clearly and the fact that it goes into saver mode often when cooking but still find them very good...the things that bug me are iwth the iphone itself and not the apps at all..i have teninas app ;D, the robogourmet and also the thermomix app. Will also be getting the hard copy of dinner spinner and new book (hanging out!) as I like to also have hard copies of recipes...but thats me :-))
-
Frozzie - I only have an iPad (no iPhone) and downloaded the dinner spinner successfully onto that. It's not full screen but it is very readable.
HTH
-
i will be downloading it amongst others onto my ipad when i get it for chrissy..i can sit it on my recipe book holder...much easier than an iphone and or laptop balancing on the benchtop lol
-
......or you can follow the lead of Twitterpated and moi and have your Chrissy present early (http://www.messengerfreak.com/emoticons/christmas/71161.gif)
-
no can do for me :'( as its with my brother in the US for the moment...will only arrive this saturday !
-
hally when I first started putting chili in things I would always halve (so much easier to spice up than spice down). nowadays family have been able to have the full thing, although if I think it could be too much I make sure that the chilli's have been de-seeded and are the bigger ones as compared to the smaller hotter ones.
-
I've received my books and am going to take mine to bed with me tonight!! DH is snoring already, so he won't care... :P
-
happy reading mj :)
-
Thanks CP, its hard we love chillis as ds only 8 finds them too hot. Will reduce to very little and hopefully I can increase. I dont like to cook 2 meals as this then means my freezer fills way too quickly. At home I do have a few in the freezer for him, but not on holidays.
H :)
-
I see that the app is now available for iPad. The app says it has 25 recipes. Is that the number of recipes that are in the book?
-
MMM. I can see I may have to make my mobile die early and get an iphone. Maybe DD would like to give me hers? ;)
-

Not available for ipad separately yet; just the same app, but bigger…the ipad version will be released next year based on interest! hahaha (I think we have the interest part sorted, its the development part we need to get on with!)
Hally, sorry about the heat in everything, I have grown up kids with grown up palates now (after living with me all these years!) and so I guess I can be a little heavy handed, but just cut, reduce, change as you see fit!
Hope everyone has recovered from chillies and pepper at your house! :D

Hally,
I haven't made anything from the book, I need to go shopping (about 60kms away) as the local little store doesn't have the ingredients I need. I have flipped through the book and thought "DS7 wont eat most of this" so I will prepare some meals for him I can freeze and then cook the Dinner Spinner meals for DH and I.

Yum, yum, yum. Working my way through Dinner Spinners - have to start with those that don't need Umami Paste as I have no dulse atm. Last night we had Chick Pea and Cashew Curry - beautiful, except with four adults eating, it didn't go very far. Note for future - Side dishes important for that one. Feta Tart we have made twice and there again it disappeared so quickly I barely got to try it. SS Meatballs were fantastic and will definitely be made regularly at our place. No problem with portion size with that one - plenty! Only stress so far for us has been the loss of one of the pages - couldn't adjust to the spinner being so darn tight and tore it out in my excitement! I am not admitting, Tenina, but it *may* have been your special vodka-fueled Feta Tart that I was over-enthusiastic about.

Dizzy girl, where do you live? So far from the shops….Thermomix must be a real help to you!
Cecilia!!! Lay off the vodka…what a shame…you’ll be needing the app version then I trust??

Tenina, I live 35kms from Uralla NSW and 65 kms from Armidale and 90kms Tamworth.

Tenina, the flavours are fantastic, just too hot for ds, dh loved the tuscan beef, so next batch will make milder, split in half then add more pepper and chilli to his half, so hopefully we will all be happy. Just have to learn to adjust the heat for us all.
Dizzygirl, gosh you are far away from the shops. I think you could adjust some recipes, the tuscan beef the flavour is great, dont add the pepper, remove a portion for ds then add the pepper to the rest. My ds liked the flavour but niot the pepper, just about playing around with it. We got 5 serves from this.

Oh I have to get this. My kids love the microwave Mac and cheese but I have banned it because I cant stand the smell. Goes through the whole house and smells like something has thrown up everywhere.

Counted 23 in my book Elsie.

Thank you, Judy.

Strictly speaking the app has 27 if you include umami and the cheesey scones, but actually 25 meals and 21 in the book.
:D

Well done with the app- all the recipes look great and i can't wait to try them out especially the Vietnamese chicken salad- perfect for summer!
-
Thanks Merlin and thanks very much for buying it! Merry Christmas… :D
-
Love the app Tenina,its great for those days when I forgot the dinner spinner book when I go shopping, always have my phone. Made the Vietnamese chicken salad, changed the dressing a bit, added coriander and sweet chilli sauce, no chilli, and wanted to use up the coriander, didnt add the sugar, less lemon juice and it was yummy. Trying to use up food before we go away tomorrow.
-
Had the Tandoori Chicken today, nothing wrong with the recipe but tandoori is not my favourite marinade.
It looks fantastic Judy…Hungry for it now I saw your pic…but a few other things on my menu! Merry Christmas…xxx
-
I adore Tandoori! Bring it over my way JD!
Must get the ingredients for that Viet Chicken Salad, it sounds just the sort of thing that I love to eat. I'm going to make the Umami Paste tomorrow now I've finally got hold of some Anchovies.
-
Am doing the tandoori chicken today and the almond yoghurt chicken curry. I have some slight adaptations as I'm using the leftover turkey. :). I haven't tasted them yet but so far I've found the app (I have it on the iPad) remarkably easy to use
So far, so good :)

Gave Dinner Spinners for Christmas (as you do!!) and just made Almond chicken curry for the whole family as we are away…BIG hit…so pleased!
;D ;D
-
I just downloaded the app verions - very clever and hopefully can be expanded in the future. I wonder if something showing how many serves and approx total prep/cooking time would be useful as well.
-
It certainly is a great tasting dish Denise.......made it the other night (had to purchase the app after forgetting that I had loaned my book), used cannellini beans as I didn't have kidney beans - result was equally tasty :) :)
-
As I haven't been on the forum much lately I have missed out on all that's been happening, l have just been reading through this topic and have now downloaded the App. So far It looks impressive. Now to decide what to try first. Thanks Tenina for all your hard work well done.
-
Dede, I think you will enjoy, maybe tone down the spices for the kids, i have done this for ds & we can all eat the same meal. ;D
H :)
-
Thanks Hally I will remember that.

DW and I ha the Speck and Salad Pizza for dinner tonight. I am a traditionalist when it comes to pizza so had some reservations however the combination of flavors with the Jarlsberg, Dijon mustard and bacon (I used diced bacon from the deli counter at Coles because I couldn't get speck in town.) really complimented each other.
DW felt it was a little to 'oniony' for her so next time I will put less escahlots on her pizza.
The salad on top added another dimension adding texture not usually associated with pizza.
-
yeah, but also try a different taste and go for the turkey as per earlier? I liked that.
-
Here's a picture of what I've done to my Dinner Spinner recipes (thanks to Ceejays idea with her laminated recipes) - it is so much easier to flip over now with the O-ring replacing the plastic screw. You need an O-ring that opens completely to get the cards on successfully.
-
I have just finished posting all the reviews hidden in this thread to the review section. This now means that only the following recipes are waiting for someone to try and review from the Dinner Spinner recipe cards (not including the app recipes). Tenina would be quite pleased with that I would think.
Black Bean & Beef Nachos page 1
Smoked Salmon Caper Tarts 29
Thai Fish Parcels page 31
Minted Green Quinoa Pilaf page 39

Excellent work Judy. :D
-
You might have to put up a few more photos though Julie - unfortunately they don't copy. Sorry about that but I think it better to have all the reviews in the one spot.
-
Totally agree, better in the one spot. Will post the photos tomorrow Judy, not a problem. :)
-
I am making the thai fish parcels tomorrow. Was meant to do it tonight however bought parsley by mistake instead of coriander
-
Oh and i'm thinking of making the salmon caper tarts this week too so will post reviews and photos once done.
