Frozzie,  I don't use Facebook.  What does Tenina say?
Title: Re: Tenina has just posted on fb about her new christmas ebook
Post by: goldfish on November 19, 2012, 10:23:42 pm
ACW - basically just an announcement . . . maybe Tenina will list the contents later . . or even on here . . .

"Officially ‘Merry Christmix, a collection of festive recipes 2012’…ebook, will be launched in the next few days. Great giveaways, and some fun to come! Hope you will be in it to win it!"

She said that the new ebook would be launched in the next couple of days, from the picture it looks like the recipes will be sweet and savory.
Hope Tenina doesn't mind here is a picture of here new ebook

Chookie, if you want, i can always print this off for you on my wonderful new full colour printer and post it on or you can collect it next time you are around Melbourne.

Do you need an iPad for her ebook or will a pc do? And if I download to pc can I transfer later to iPad if that's what I get from Santa for Christmas?

If you have an iPad you go to iBooks, and "swing your bookcase around" until you see the PDF title at the top. That's where the PDF file will be when it's downloaded. I just about gave up last time.
Title: Re: Tenina has just posted on fb about her new christmas ebook
Post by: CreamPuff63 on November 20, 2012, 04:54:11 am
I'm sure you can have both a PC or apple, and then download from the same email once you get an iPad.

I'm so excited - just what we asked Tenina for and she has delivered!

I'm not on Facebook either so would appreciate it if someone could post on this thread when it becomes available!

KimmyH, I have my ebooks on both ipad and android tablet and they all read well, but to read an epub or mobi (kindle), on a PC you need to download a program to view them, I haven't bothered as the iPad has a fantastic - if not the best ebook reader in my opinion.

Yay girls, now let it go viral! I think it is the only bunch of new Chrissy recipes out there this year at least…

Enjoy. For those of you with a PC, it comes as a PDF, so it is just a file on your desktop that you open up in full glorious colour whenever you want to drool! (Or cook of course!!)

:D

Downloaded it this morning.

Cant wait to try  a few things. There goes my budget :o ???

What type of cheese is provolone & where do can you buy it?
Is it a hard cheese?
Title: Re: Tenina has just posted on fb about her new christmas ebook
Post by: VieveMS on November 22, 2012, 01:11:36 am
I've downloaded it too.  I really want to try the Pork Belly....mmmm.
Title: Re: Tenina has just posted on fb about her new christmas ebook
Post by: Wonder on November 22, 2012, 01:22:19 am
Hally you can buy provolone at most good deli's, it's great melting cheese but I find on the expensive side.

Thanks for the advice Tenina and jeninwa - if I get time while at work I'll download.

Tenina one further question - I haven't got on the Crio Bru wagon and was wondering if it can be subsituted in most of the recipes. I saw in the past Judy (i think) was looking at substituting coffee but most people seem to liken the taste to chocolate so I'm a little confused.

Crio Bru is just chocolate that has been roasted and ground without any additions. Cocoa, even if raw cacao has had a process done to make a powder. This is not a healthy process. However, you can substitue cocoa for most of the recipes. The only exception would be the Crio Bru chocolate bark.

You can use coffee in some recipes but not all. It definitely changes the taste of course. So up to you as far as how much you like coffee flavour.

Hope this helps. :D

Judy, is the problem with the printer itself?  When mine does this its usually time for a new cartridge/toner, etc.

I don't know gf, I did have to replace the colour cartridge at the end but the black one is OK.  Not a problem, I'll just fill in the missing words - just wanted to know if it was happening to anyone else.

OH no…sad day. Actually this brings up a good point. We are doing costings of printing hard copies. I think for gifting in particular it is nice to have a hard copy as opposed to an ebook, so would love to hear feedback about that. No point us doing it if you are all happy (by and large) with an ebook.

Yell louder, can’t hear you.

Ebook?

Actual book?

Both?

Tenina, I would much prefer a hard copy. The Christmix book is the first I have down loaded. I like something I can hold and flick through.
Am sure I will adjust.
Title: Re: Tenina has just posted on fb about her new christmas ebook
Post by: judydawn on November 22, 2012, 07:57:34 am
Book for me too.  They make great gifts and who doesn't like sitting down with a glass of something browsing through a book with lovely recipes and photos.  Sorry, will never change my mind to eBooks  ;D
Title: Re: Tenina has just posted on fb about her new christmas ebook
Post by: kt2 on November 22, 2012, 08:03:51 am
I like either Tenina.  ;)

Hard copy is beautiful to hold and look at and are great for gifts......

I was never too keen on ebooks but now I have an iPad mini I'm loving them! Great to have "on hand" if I suddenly decide at shops I want to cook something from them I can check ingredients straight away. Also I'm running out of room for more recipe books :-))

The down side is I really want to buy my mum these ebooks (I have bought FFS and Dinner Spinner for both of us ) but as her computer is pretty unreliable and she has no real need to replace anytime soon - I won't be.  :-\

Can't wait to buy this one Tenina but unfortunately have to wait until Xmas!!  :P ;D

I do prefer books :)....and I don't mind paying extra to have them.
I have bought the ebook, and transferred to my recipe book app.....very handy, but I still print it out,  just in case the ipad or desktop computer comes to grief.

Title: Re: Tenina has just posted on fb about her new christmas ebook
Post by: tarasis on November 22, 2012, 09:31:16 am
Books are nice to have but when the postage is as much as the book then ebook is better and I tend to look up stuff on my iPad, so ebook is also more convenient. (And easier to email the wife and say "how about this")

So ebook (and/or book if you could get a distributor in the UK or Germany for your books)
Title: Re: Tenina has just posted on fb about her new christmas ebook
Post by: cookie1 on November 22, 2012, 11:27:34 am
I have downloaded this and it is on my iPad. I can't wait to try some all of the recipes.
Thank you Tenina. You have done it again. A lovely Christmas present, thanks.  Now what to try first?
Title: Re: Tenina has just posted on fb about her new christmas ebook
Post by: Bonsai on November 22, 2012, 11:44:56 am
Ebook is fine - often cheaper so more inclined to buy compared to cost of printed version, and much more environmentally friendly (no dead trees or chemicals)
Title: Re: Re: Tenina has just posted on fb about her new christmas ebook
Post by: *suzanne* on November 22, 2012, 11:59:27 am
I love a real book but am just as happy with an e book, I just print it off and put it in a folder;D
Title: Re: Tenina has just posted on fb about her new christmas ebook
Post by: Cuilidh on November 22, 2012, 07:22:04 pm
I am a hard copy person - but the ebook works well - I printed it off, put it into plastic sleeves and clipped them together to make a 'book' - albeit a bit floppy as I didn't put hard covers on it. 

I have also been feeling a bit guilty about a comment I made at the beginning of this thread, when I offered to run off a copy for Chookie - on reading it afterwards it appeared that I was offering to run off a 'pirated' copy from my purchased book.  That wasn't the intention at all, I just hadn't thought through the whole process of Chookie getting me a copy of her downloaded book then me printing it off ... oh, I am getting in a right muddle here, aren't I.  This explanation is probably making everything worse and even more convoluted and confused.  I'll stop now before I drive everyone nuts.

E-book -as I assume we wouldn't have to wait as long (for publishing processes & printing etc)? I'm impatient!
And no postage, and world wide....and we can print & bind ourselves (I bought a binder from Aldi & it is super handy for things like this).

I hope so, likewise I would like FFS that way to but I wonder if there is a hold on it till its been in print for a while.
