think it's til the middle of next week - angus & robinson have jude's 2nd book for $15 (is it called coming home or something similar) it is a whole foods book anyway
-
Thanks for that Karen. :)
-
I am quite interested in this book, I rang my local A & R they don't know of a catalogue till June ( which this book is not in ) and according to the A & R website its also out of print, The one I looked for was callled "Coming Home to Eat" R/R $39.95 Do you have any more details?
Thanks
-
yes, i'm pretty sure that's the one.
my local store had a whole row of cooking books for $15 each, about 15 or so. they said it would be on sale for at least another week. could possibly just be my store though i would be surprised if it was.
-
Thanks brazen - might have to go shopping - hope my Cookbook Buyers' Anonymous leader doesn't catch me. ;)
-
Just confirming the $15 is definitely on...I bought a copy just today at Angus and Robertson
Ive just made a pizza and made the pizza sauce using recipe out of the book, it is delicious! and very easy! kids are gobbling up the pizza as I type!
-
Thanks Baf - I had forgotten about this one. :)

Which A&R did you buy it at Baf?
-
Meagan I got it up at Belmont Forum....they had a display of a whole heap of for $15, mostly cookery books as well, some nice ones but I cannot buy any more cooking books!!!
-
Thanks for the tip off about this sale! I have not heard of Jude Blereau before, but popped into A&R while shopping and flicked through the book, and being such a avid bibliophil, at $10 you just can't go wrong! I also got Tessa Kiros's Twelve (the Tuscan one) for $10. They also had (among others) an Arjun Anand Indian Made Easy (IRC) for $10. I read something somewhere about her books being good, but I passed on this one.....for now anyway, as I haven't made anything out of the Fast and Easy Indian TMX book yet!
-
Thanks Baf :) I got one today and a couple for gifts for friends ;) None left at Belmont now 8) they were $10
-
$10!! I was ripped off!! LOL
I made the pizza sauce and spiced parsnip soup out of that book on the weekend....very easy to convert to Thermomix!
-
They had just been reduced to $10 the day I went :o
-
I'm looking forward to seeing what recipes are converted from this book.
-
I bought my copy yesterday and have already picked out a few recipes to try. When I got the book out from the library a while ago I wasn't overly inspired (I like cookbooks with photos), but I have been enjoying reading Jude's blog and am going to give some recipes a go. :)
-
I got mine at Angus and Robertson, Albany today. When I took it to the counter the assistant said " wow that's a bargain" so I was really pleased, enjoyed reading it this afternoon but will take me a while to convert recipes.
-
Oh I love that book but don't use it as much since I got the TMX (and a second child too). I find the recipes are pretty time consuming but I will have to look again for what I can convert. We often have the sesame chicken, honey baked pears, and market vegetable enchiladas. I would be keen to hear of any converted recipes and I will try and do some too.
-
I have tried a couple of recipes from the book now and haven't been overly impressed so far.
I made the lemon teacake and it was very strong in taste (despite the fact that I halved the juice amount in the syrup) and very crumbly. Not great to serve to guests.
I've also made the little chicken cakes. These were rather bland and unexciting, although the kids did eat them which amazed me. I probably wouldn't make them again as I can think of a lot more tasty things to do with 500g of expensive hormone free chicken. If anyone else makes them I would recommend a heaped tbsp of homemade sweet chilli sauce to help things along.
I went to make the spelt pizza bases last week, but there seems to be a mistake in the recipe. The olive oil that needs to be included in the dough is referred to in the method, but not listed with a quantity in the ingredient list. Bummer!
Not off to a great start with this book, but have a few more recipes that I would like to try. Hopefully with more luck. :)

That's disappointing Chelsea. I wonder whether you can contact her through her website and ask for corrections?
-
maybe thats why it was cheap!! :D
Ive only tried the pizza sauce which worked pretty well
-
oh no!
i haven't used it yet ;D
