Thank you very. very much - I had started the list, but been out all week so fell off the list.

One big difference was that anywhere in the old book that had stock cubes - they have gone and it now just says TM stock concentrate.

Thanks again CP63  :-* :-* :-*

My personal project is working on a "How to..summary"....this involves helping people in any way with the TM. If you have any tips that you pass on, tell me, as I am gleaning tips off this website to try and help people convert recipes, gain confidence, and learn something, and consolidating into one topic for easy reference.

They should be - does your book have a hard or soft cover?

Anaise, I've had my book for about 3 months and went through it and it has all the updates listed here.  So you should be safe!

No, I think UNDERprivileged circles.  Brazen probably also has a softcover - that's what they used to be like, when TMX first came off the Ark.  :(

I have had a request for a lemon meringue pie and am just wanting to correct my EDC before starting it.  I am finding this amendment a little confusing though.  Is it correct to "pour in remaining icing sugar and 1 tsp at a time of cream of tartar"??  Should it be add cream of tartar (1/4 tsp?) and then add icing sugar 1 tsp at a time?  ???
Title: Re: Updated EDC changes
Post by: judydawn on August 28, 2010, 05:13:53 am
Chelsea, you and I are working on very similar things at the moment.  I have just beaten 4 egg whites with 1/2 tspn cream of tartar with butterfly in on speed 3 @ 37o then added the sugar over a 2 minute period, 1 tspn at a time.  I am working on the almond bread in the GF book (adding some tweaks) and I was very pleased with my egg white mixture.  It is in the oven now and in 2 days time I can slice it and crisp it up.  More to follow after I have finished that process.  So this info should answer your question.

I'm glad the egg whites worked Judy. I need to find some chooks that will lay eggs with only the white in.  :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))

yep, my book has a soft cover and i was nowhere near getting the new varoma! lol

in fact i have the new EDC in my spare room and hadn't even occurred to me to get it out and use it lol

Post by: cookie1 on August 31, 2010, 07:01:03 am
You're right CP63. I want egg whites for my macarons and now Judy's almond..........
Fortunately I found a cherry icecream that uses 5 or 6 yolks. I'll give this a try when I do the first lot of macarons.

Thanks Meagan. I don't have the book so thanks Judy. I hadn't printed that recipe as I thought I would never have that many egg yolks spare.

Thanks JD.  I followed this and my meringue was perfect.  Sadly the lemon part wasn't set firm when I plated it for our guests though  :-)) :P. They still thought it was yummy though and really appreciate any home cooking efforts.  Next time I am going to bump up the cornflour a little and make the pie the day before so it's sits in the fridge overnight.  Three hours wasn't enough. :)

Post by: judydawn on September 02, 2010, 06:19:12 am
So glad to hear the top was successful Chelsea, now to amend the filling  ;) ;)   It probably would have been much better to have sat it overnight to set completely rather than adding too much more cornflour which could make it go too firm. 

Anyone else done this recipe and had to tweak the filling?
