Great job JD 

[VieveMS]

This is a really nice cookbook and would make a great christmas present.  Like Quick Fix in the Thermomix, every recipe has its own double page - one for the recipe, one for the photograph.  The thing I like about all of Alyces' recipes is that they are uncomplicated and use ingredients that most of us probably already have in the panty.  That means you can start cooking straight away...

I'm waiting for this one to be available in the book shops as I want to look at it first before buying. It seems quite expensive for what it has listed in its contents.  If anyone has this, do you recommend it? Is it worth the money?

Kt2 my DD bought this book. Look at the table of contents  posted.  Is there anything of interest to you?  There are quite a few salads and soups.  The first recipe does not appear until page 29 from memory. Is  there a must have recipe you are interested in? 

Do you need a Thermomix recipe for Grilled mushrooms and eggs? Herb and garlic butter ?  Or do you want yet another recipe for a yogurt smoothie?  Cauliflower  rice?

Have a good read and see if you  need any of these recipes before you buy it.  If you cannot live without another recipe for  watermelon and lime sorbet or Guacamole then this is the book for you.

This is how I go about deciding to buy yet another cookbook.

You've just convinced me that I don't need this cook book, lol.

[Jamberie]

I've been tempted to buy it too because I like Quick Fix in the Thermomix. But I need to pay nearly $10 in postage and I just feel that altogether it is a bit much. Especially with Gert's comment taken into consideration.

I'm so sad as I love Alyce and her first book but this book does not grab me at all:( I neeeed to feed my thermo cook book addiction soon. Very soon.

I love Quick Fix (the writing, layout, recipes, it's just a great book) & I like this book too but honestly haven't used it much.  The Chicken Puttanesca is fantastic though   I think because it's low carb, it misses out on including things that the TM does really well;  like breads, desserts & all in one recipes, the kind of recipes that grab your attention or make life easier.  It's still a lovely book but I think it has a niche market, it's definitely not an EDC/family book that everyone would find useful. I'm interested to know what the next book in the mini series will be

I bought thus book from Weigh n Pay at Woodvale Boul. Whitfords Ave, Woodvale. Great shop with loads of great produce.

[CreamPuff63]

Love that shop too, but I always buy too much

This book was available at my local Dymocks last weekend. (Carousel). They had quite a few copies. They also had QFITT and were getting more of FFS when they were available.
I had a good look through Alyce's new book and decided not to buy it. I have no doubt that when she does desserts or baking I will be buying it.

[judydawn]

An added advantage to decision making when you can hold the book and have a good look through Cookie - lucky you.

very wise way to decide about a book Gert.

i love to make up recipes on the go..
