New recipe challenge

[droverjess]

I have had an idea because I have these lovely new cookbooks.
Shall we try to make a new recipe once a week/fortnight/month?

Write about it, either   or not. Doesn't matter what the recipe is.

Convert if possible obviously acknowledging author/web link.

And recommend or not depending on how it goes?

What do you think?

We have visitors for lunch tomorrow. I took beef out of the freezer tonight and am doing this Mary Berry recipe.

Using JD's   tomato soup instead of a can, with a tiny bit of leftover wine.
Will cook in oven and put baked potatoes in other oven while we are out for a long walk.
Easy peasy.
Will report back tomorrow night.

Later:
I amended it a bit and it was voted a big hit. Will post in non TMX recipes later.
Served with Foccacia from UK fast and easy cook book, and home grown cauliflower from freezer.
Used 385g water for bread.
Put fried onions on top, with garlic and chopped coriander and  pitted olives at one end for DH.
Sprinkled with EVOO and water.

I'll be in it! I love trying new recipes!

I've already got one on the menu plan for tomorrow night that I've never cooked before

It's great that you can link the recipe from the book DJ, not all books have the recipe online.
I have about 4-5 magazines subscriptions coming in each month at the moment so there is always something new to convert.  Will add my recipes as and when I do them too.

I'll be in it too.

I want to make 2 new recipes per week. 

Just need to menu plan more.

Yes count me in. I collect recipes from everywhere. I've collected a few while we have been travelling too.

My chicken/tomato tart for lunch was a new recipe from 'Recipes for Leftovers' but non-TMX apart from grating the parmesan as everything is just layered.  I'll post it in non-TMX recipes and link it from here.

Yes please JD, looks wonderful.

Great idea DJ. I will have a go too, but maybe just once a month for me as I am still trying to catch up on all the forum recipes I need to make.

[droverjess]

I tried a new recipe today for the ragu bolognese that was given to me by a friend.
Just received my new cookbook Plenty and have marked a several recipes already.
Ice cream - that is one thing I haven't made in the thermomix yet and I don't have an ice cream maker.

[snappy]

Mcmich, I'm interested on hearing your reviews on Plenty!

First on the list for tomorrow are the Halloween Souffles - very timely. He calls them that as souffles are a scary thing to cook and they have pumpkin in them - sense of humour too.
