[astarra]

Yay, thanx for your conversions ES - they sound and look yum! 

I'm going to make them too astarra. They look delicious.

Yay - can't wait to hear what you think of them Michele.

Not sure I can do one conversion a week, but here is one that I've been meaning to post for a while.

That looks really good Chelsea. Thanx! 

PS: Loving your recipes in Devil book too! Thanks again!

No worries.  I just wish life wasn't quite so busy because I miss converting recipes.

Does anyone feel like converting Martha Stewarts Perfect Mac and Cheese recipe?
http://www.marthastewart.com/271998/perfect-macaroni-and-cheese

It's honestly the best mac and cheese I've ever eaten but it's tedious to make so I haven't made it in ages. I'm sure thermie could fix it.

BTW - yes I'm being a wuss getting someone else to convert it hahaha.

Yes you are but as you are a newbie you are forgiven. Someone will come to the rescue. 

Not the sort of thing I eat so not me.LOL!

Really Gert? It never used to be something I eat but I tried it once and thought it was the one of the ultimate comfort foods.

Well that being the case I will join you in waiting for someone more clever than us to convert it.

Jadey I haven't made it but if you would like a brief outline this is what I would do.
Grate cheese and set aside.
Cook macaroni and put into thermoserver.
Melt butter and toss over bread pieces in a bowl.
Heat the milk in the microwave.
Melt butter, add flour.
 Add hot milk.
 Cook 7/8/ minutes at 90.
Stir in the other stuff. Then continue as in step 5.

Converted a Zucchini brownie recipe, think its a flour though cause is smell disgusting , has maple syrup as the sweetener, no butter or sugar. I'm going to ice it and see if the family will eat it or not, otherwise the chooks will have a good feed

Astarra, you made me feel guilty - i often cook or adapt recpes from this site, but rarely post. My excuse has been it mightn't be too many people's taste - gf, no added sugar, full fat, no additives etc - but, I know there are many people who are looking for alternatives, so I will join in and record some of the meals or treats I am cooking.

I have converted a souffle. Very basic, but delicious. Will post it in starters. I was very surprised at how it turned out, as I wasn't happy with the way the egg whites behaved.  I beat them with the bamix and thought they could have had better soft peaks. They would not form peaks like I wanted. But they rose beautifully and had a lovely taste.

I was too lazy to wash and clean the TM bowl to whip the eggs - next time will do that and take the eggs out of the fridge earlier.

The recipe made four - 2 souflees tonight and 2 flat cakes for tomorrow

That's the spirit ElleG.  We are all individuals in our cooking and it's lovely to share variations with our members, especially those having to allow for intolerances.

[astarra]

Don't feel bad ElleG, glad you can join in now! 
And you are right, there would be alot of people wanting those sorts of recipes! 
Heading over to starters to look now!

I converted a recipe tonight for Lamb, Tomato and Butter Bean Hotpot. About to post it.
Mum said it was nice, but I'm sure it could use some tweaking to make it better. I didn't eat it because I don't eat red meat, but as I was making it I felt like something was lacking. Maybe it could use some mushrooms, herbs or more spices. Not sure
