New EDC

[JenniCB]

I just discovered that a new EDC came out last year. I got my machine in 2010. Should I try and get the new book? Is it better?

Thanks,
Jenni

The new EDC is far superior to the old one Jenny, it's a much bigger book, it isn't spiral bound, has more recipes in it and many of the recipes have been tweaked.  I guess it depends on how much you use the EDC.

Thanks Judy I do use it a fair bit. Strange that it's not spiral bound though. I have put a similar post elsewhere asking roughly if other people still use the EDC a lot. Would you say that the recipes from there for the beef stroganoff and the pizza dough are still the best?

I couldn't say Jenni as I rarely use the EDC myself, mostly just for basics.  It's not that I don't want to it just that I don't have time to repeat recipes very often and not enough mouths to feed these days to cook all the things I want to from all the recipe books I have.
Those who use the book regularly may be able to answer your question though.

Jen,  I love the look of the new book but as I only make 7recipes from it,  ( the same 8 that I made from the original ) , I wouldn't think it would be worth buying.  I know that this is a very personal thing but I don't think you can beat narelles pizza dough recipe if you want a thin and crisp crust. The recipes that I make from the second edition are the same as in the original.
I make the Risotto, but with 380 grams of rice.
Sticky date pud
Torts caprese, with Lindt chocolate and ice with same
Crepes, 1/2 mix makes 12
Custard
Mayo,  but use 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 rice bran oil
White sauce,  however for a better cheese sauce I use ' awesome cheese sauce' from Forum.
Hope this helps
