That's very wise LeeJ! Have you heard about the deep fried Mars bars in the UK?

Looks like a few of us have had a look at Helene's recipe. The images are so clear and helpful.

Thanks for your ideas and suggestions everyone, I'll give them a go again (sometime in the future!) and see if I can improve on my first effort!

Can you use plain or wholemeal flour for this as I don't have spelt at home?

What were the mushroom burgers like, JD? I nearly made them last week but made the spinach pie from the Rainbow Recipes book instead and I am still not sure what my thoughts are about it. It did taste good with cranberry sauce and my DH had HP sauce with his. The pastry was certainly very different to any I have made before and the recipe made a huge amount. I think I would halve the silverbeet next time.
Also made the Chick Pea Mornay (I think that's what it was entitled), but as the pie was so large I put the mornay straight into the freezer and haven't tried it yet - maybe one day this week I'll get it out and see what it tastes like. 7643

I made these a couple of weeks ago - I'm afraid the end product was not one to be boasted over - they looked rather like blobs of a partially thawed snowman with a wee hole in the centre!!! Will maybe try again one day when I recover from the humiliation.

You are a very generous, kind hearted man, Stef. So sorry to hear about the TV chef - I had heard at some time in the past, that they can be very predatory in that way, it does leave a sadness in your heart when that happens to you, though.

Condiments and Sauces / Re: nut butter : a good alternative spread for pure and cholesterol friendly butter,« on: June 25, 2011, 10:53:57 pm »
Thanks, faffa, that sounds easy - even for me! Much less time and effort involved.
Stef - it will be a week or so before I can try it, but will let you know how it goes. 7646

Well ..... now that you mention it, that seems like a really good idea - although, if you are really serious, there will be a lot of complications, like copyright, distribution, etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing this to put you off, just giving you a wee idea of what may be ahead if you decide to undertake this as a purely commercial venture. I, for one, would love a book like yours, but there is so much involved, be sure you give it thorough consideration before committing yourself to it. As faffa says, NO PRESSURE!

I've already down loaded your nut butter recipe and am looking forward to making it next week. Thanks for sharing it with us.

That looks good, I must give it a try. It has a good mix of nuts. How would cashews go instead of peanuts?
CC I don't have the Fast and Easy book - I am guessing that you soak the almonds (which still have their skins on) in boiling water for 30(?) minutes then drain them and put them in the TMX for a couple of minutes on reverse? Do you add water as well? Am I close with my guess for the correct way to skin almonds? Would it also be much the same method for hazelnuts? The autumn nut harvest is just coming in at the markets now so there will be some nice fresh nuts around to use in this recipe. 7649

What a brilliant achievement. There is so much work in producing something like this - it's not just a matter of putting recipes together in one place, there are so many other aspects involved as well. You've done really well. Congratulations. Maybe one day, when you have finished the TMX version you will post a couple of recipes on the forum.
