Ok ladies, I know I stumbled across this thread before but can't find it in the search engine. I want to buy another TM book (I only have the EDC and Vegetarian) and am wondering if others could recommend their favourites? I'm thinking of Tenina's new book (I think you can buy the dinner spinner one with it as a combo). We enjoy healthy foods, spicy foods - actually, just about anything really!!!!!
I'm so enjoying my Thermomix!!!!!!! :)
Tam :)

Tam my favourite books are For Food's Sake, Quick Fix in the Thermomix, Dinner Spinners but there are some nice recipes in all the HO books and I'm always happy when I buy a book if it has at least 1 decent recipe in it (I know I should set my standards a bit higher but I am a bit of a recipe book tragic). Check out the reviews DG has listed and in the Review Section on the home page you will find every book listed. Have a browse of some of the comments made against any of the recipes there and you will soon know which books are best suited for you.

My choice would be much the same as Judys. I also love the Indian book , but only if you like Indian food.
-
Thanks ladies..........will check out the reviews.
Cookie, I think I'd like the Indian Book too.
JD,I can't believe that you'd have anything but success with any recipe that you make!!!!!
-
Tam, Budget Busters is worth a look.
-
Thank you Tam, things are pretty well foolproof these days but not so with my first efforts until I got used to this powerful machine and found out what chopping times etc suited my style of cooking.
-
Tam. I agree with JD and cookie.
-
this forum is my favourite cook book ;D
-
I agree with fundj, I have personally found this forum much better than any cookbook out there.
-
I have compiled a bound cookbook of all my favourite forum recipes - its the BEST, and then equal second Tenina's and Alyce's.
Haven't looked at a TM official publication for so long although I have them all bar the Recipe Community and Travelling with TM. I am not sure I would even bother purchasing the latest books as after purchasing 3 TM's I will not be holding another demo and I have got sick of waiting for the last book to be released for everyday purchase. Of course if HO would like to send me a book to review I'm up to the challenge... ;) (do pigs fly?)
-
CP u make me laugh. Def HO needs you to review its books, then they might publish some good ones.
Perhaps you could publish ur forum book and sell it to us. I would buy it. I love this forum and most recipes I use come from here.
-
Publishing a forum book is a really good idea. My local primary school (Mt Hawthorn Primary School) put together and published a cookbook with recipes provided by the staff and families etc. It's very professional and I saw it a the local library. Not sure if they made any money from it but it's very professional, beautifully photographed and would make anyone feel proud if you were part of its production. Hence, maybe that's something you could or should look into CP?

I'm with you MEP. Years and years ago (have to say that because I genuinely can't remember the year!) my children's primary school published a cookbook of family's favourite recipes. I have to say I have used that cookbook often, because family recipes are tried and true. At one stage I lost the cookbook and couldn't find it. I rang the primary school hoping they had a copy and the current staff said they did not even know of its existence. I was devastated. However, I did find it and all my favourite recipes are back. My girls were so happy that I foudn it because I am sure they had given it to me as a Mothers Day present (still cant remember which year!).

Kezza I have some of those too. They have great family recipes in them.

CP, I have done the same and compiled my own recipe book from Forum recipes. My son who is a computer person says that we should compile an eBook. He said this would be easier than an App. I also like Alyces and Tenina's, but usually change their recipes a bit as do many others.

Chookie I am anxiously awaiting your ebook ;@)

me too :)

Thanks DizzyGirl, and MEP. i have to do the Bread Hints list first. Still getting my act together after having the 3 GC for a week. Loved every minute of it but might be getting a bit old for this kind of circus. ;D

You're never too old for GC.

i think anyone would be Chookie with 3 GC for a week. my kids already know the rules, 1 day a week and only if they are working.
-
Uni, very wise.
-
my mum had the same rule ;D

My mum has DS today as I am at work.
Fridays my MIL has him when I am at work then too.
Of course the occasional sleep over when the GPs ask.
