Hi Leanne & welcome

[Leanne Emily]

Good Morning everybody, thank you for the very warm welcome. Astarra I cook for 4 of us, but love entertaining.

I have to say, I've had quite a few disappointments, over the initial 4 weeks. Mainly from recipes in the EDC.

I don't like the way the mince meat is broken down in the bolognese. My yogurt didn't set. The custard is too 'floury', my risotto was 'claggy'. Pumpkin soup was tasteless. 

On a more positive note, loved the béchamel sauce, citrus marmalade, pasta dough.

Off to search for recipes, and turn this situation around!

Have you been directed to the recipe reviews section Leanne? Try reading other peoples opinions and tweaks to the recipes (especially the EDC ones) to get better results.

Leanne, here's the link that will take you to all the recipe books.  Before trying any recipe from any of these books we suggest you look to see if there's a review as astarra has suggested.  It may save a lot of disasters to read how others have tweaked a recipe or if the recipe is perfect as is.
