I'm about to take  peek. Wasn't overly impressed with the low carb book.

I didn't buy the low carb book. It looks like August may need to be saved up for. I think Tenina's comes out round then too.

Of course I'm going to buy it - maybe both formats. Then I'll buy Tenina's when it comes out  ;D

I just don't seem to cook much from cookbooks anymore. I have her Quick Fix and haven't cooked anything from it  :( I might look at the ebook version but would  have to be significantly cheaper for me to get it.

I don't use many cookbooks either.

Um, I bought the book as soon as I read the email  :P  A lot of recipes sounded lovely, so what's another book?.....think I've said that before  ;D

I figured if I bought Alyce's now I could justify Tenina's when it comes out  :D :D :D :D

I have just ordered this book.
I use QFTM all the time.
It is a well written and organized book which is easy to use with really good everyday recipes.
I am looking forward to trying this new cookbook.
Roll on August!

Hally that sounds like a great idea :)

I have heaps of cookbooks.. Usually look at several different recipes for the same dish then make my own version... I love seeing what inspirational recipes ppl have come up with and love looking and buying cookbooks.. Rarely cook the same thing.. Always looking for something different...

I love her cookbooks so I'll definitely be saving up for this one...it might have to wait until Christmas  :-\

Love the idea of your book case Hally, now you HAVE to buy books to fill it!

In iBook format? Why yes please.

Hopefully Tenina's book too.

Is the iBook format cheaper than the book?
$60 is expensive.

Just went onto iBooks and its $23.99

Post by: judydawn on July 20, 2013, 01:59:31 am
A lot cheaper MF, which version are you thinking of getting?  iBooks are not my favourite recipe books regardless of the price.

Post by: Mama Fergie on July 20, 2013, 02:07:12 am
Haven't decided yet Judy  ???
I have numerous cookbooks on my iPad kindle and find them easy to use with the iPad on its stand as I can use my fingers to enlarge the font size which makes it easy to read while cooking.
I do enjoy proper books but storage is the problem.

Same Judy....that's probably the only old fashioned thing about me   :)

It will be €18,99 here (low carb book is €8,49) which is much more reasonable and avoids crazy postage costs. Though I understand why others prefer tactile books :)

I have Tenina's Merry Chrismix ebook and have looked at it once. I find I have to really try hard to look at the magazines I download from the library.

I probably won't buy this book in either form as I have enough cookbooks to last me forever x 10.

I actively seek out ebooks particularly cookbooks because I have too many bookshelves at home physically overflowing with books and cookbooks.  I've scanned a lot of my cookbooks as pdf's to make it easier to manage my collection.  While I was doing it I found books that I'd forgotten I even had.  My cookbooks are all cataloged in Eat Your Books and I have the pdf's stored in Dropbox so I can access them wherever I am on a computer or ipad or even my phone.  I've bought both of Alyce's books as ibooks and will probably get this one as well.  As you can tell I'm a big fan of electronic books......

I will buy it. I found her QFITT good. Hopefully it will be in Dymocks like the others and I will check it out before I buy it.

Hi Cookie, just to let you know Quick Fix: Every Occasion will be available in all bookshops that stock Quick Fix in the Thermomix, so you should be able to head to Dymocks and take a look :) they should have stock in September.

Thanks Alyce. I'm usually given Dymocks vouchers for gifts so it is very handy. I'm looking forward to buying this one.
