i've been saying for a while that recipes (including ours here on the forum) need to be more specific about sizes of things - for example do you dice chicken into 1cm dice or 3cm dice? makes a huge difference in cooking times...

most recipes are lacking that sort of information.

Will need to be better with my recipes - see how we go.

i'm not really complaining about people on here thermomixer, i know how hard it is to think of all that stuff when you're first writing it up - it came to mind with me when i was trying to work out the problem with my butter chicken disintegrating! but i have also had the problem with many of the recipes from the books - dh tends to chop small and so everything goes to mush, i tend to chop big so i always have to cook significantly longer than stated times. size is crucial IMO.

so please no one feel picked on!

Not feeling picked on - just makes good sense - if people are happy to try my recipes then best I don't have them waste their money  (think about the difference b/n breast and thigh for the chicken nuggets !!)

i complained about the same thing to HQ months and months ago and was told that in the new edition of the EDC and any other booklets produced they were hoping to rectify the problem...obviously not!

Not the new EDC - maybe the Meat cookbook?  :( :(
