How many versions have there been of the printed EDC?

[NikiG]

I am about to make the Tomato & Lentil Dahl so I have just been looking at the tweaks and suggestions here on the forum - some of these suggestions were made some time ago (2009 and 2010). My EDC was printed in March 2011 so I am not sure if some of the tweaks/suggestions are included in this version. Does anyone know how many versions of the printed EDC there have been?
Thanks in advance!

The EDC is printed by Thermomix in Australia. This forum is independent of them.  They might have picked up some of the tips on this site, but then again they might not.

Thanks Amanda, I realise the forum and TM Australia are 2 separate things, but from what I have read so far, Tenina (who I can see is a fairly regular posted here) worked for TM Australia until recently and was involved in the recipe testing (according to my EDC) so I thought that some of the tweaks and suggestions might have made it back there

That is a good question.  One of our forum members (meganjane) assisted Tenina by providing her with the EDC tweaks from our forum (put together in one document).  I am not sure if these tweaks have been put to good use yet in current copies though.  Megan would probably know as I think she was going to receive an updated copy for her efforts.

Thanks Chelsea - wow, that would have been an awesome effort, meganjane! Maybe if members could share when their EDC was printed we could get an idea of how many versions there have been?

Wow mines mar 2011

... and not all of the tweaks would make it into the new EDC as a lot of them are also personal taste

My EDC is May 2008 but I also have the latest one on hand for demo's. Before I make any recipe from any of the books I always check on here for reviews and tweaks to see if there is anything I might like to change for our personal taste's

I think also just because it has a different print date doesn't mean it has been changed. It may just be a rerun of the previous book

I had a quick look at my friend's copy which is the March 2011 o copne and there are lots of tweaks in it. My copy's at least 2 years old and i noticed the minestroni's changed, also the creme brulee, risotto and I'm sure there's more. I didn't have my book there to compare.

[Amanda]

Meagan is quite correct here.  I spoke to Grace Mazur about my frustrations with the EDC in about 2008 and she told me it was to be reprinted, but not really re-edited. They were just going to alter a couple of things.

Thermoheaven, that's good to know - I might check out my friend's book, I know she has had her TM about 18 months so I'll see which edition she has to do a comparison and give some feedback if there are vast differences.

Meagan, that is a very valid point, thanks also to Amanda for your comments too.

a couple of years ago there was this topic, so would just depend on how old your current book is.

Fantastic, thanks very much CreamPuff! I'll compare it to my book this arvo and let you know if they are incorporated in the March 2011 version.
