Free e-book
« on: March 16, 2014, 01:13:37 pm »
Here's an e-book I've downloaded which is a Free Varoma Cookbook: My My My Myyy Varoma Cookbook

I like Peta Lee's blog and Facebook page. She has some great recipes and ideas and quite a big following. Enjoy!

A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Oh, I did a search first, but it didn't come up. Okay, will edit. Thanks Judy.

MJ also had a link to Lisa Chaffy's book Katie, she has removed that one.  I tried to download Peta's varoma ebook but it's too complicated for me.

Just I found I could only access from her blog or facebook or something or other. I couldn't get it to go into my ebooks. I'm sorry I can't find the link. I must have deleted the email. Her blog is The Road to Loving My Thermomix.
I enjoy her blog but find a lot of the recipes are already around with her twist on them. Which I think is fair enough as it is her blog.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I downloaded the book, and thought the same as you Cookie.
Miss 17 cooked one of the recipes the other night and even though it had a lot of tasty ingredients in it, we all voted that it was pretty bland. Odd really!

Won't be making it again, but there are lots of other recipes to try, so a free book is always good!!

I agree cookie a lot of the recipes are elsewhere,  with a few alterations to make them her own I guess

I like free things and at the very least it will give me something to read to inspire. I like that all the recipes are varoma.

The book is a compilation, so it's recipes that have been shared. I guess that's why you may have seen them before.

Thank you for sharing this!  As a newbie these recipes are far from "old news" for me! When I bought the TM the Varoma was really what sold me on it, and the TM Varoma cookbook (FSA) was a big disappointment.  These recipes are things I would actually make.  Can't wait to start testing them out!  I'll have a peek over at the recipe review section and see if there is a thread for this ebook up yet :)

I've 2 recipes to review when you do Judy.

Yes the FSA isn't the greatest book out Laura. Although one I make out of there every Christmas is the turkey roll. I simplified it a heap, use chicken breasts, ham, cheese and prunes, roll it in bacon. Forget the sauce. Steams nicely, and when cold I can cut it neatly into slices. Freezes really well too.
