Whats your next cookbook?

[Caroline J]

[Sim]

Thanks Caroline

I thought I would tell everyone about the most beautiful cookbook I just bought. Lola's ice creams and sundaes. It is gorgeous! I can't wait to try some of the recipes in it. Plum and Early Grey tea flavour intrigues me... There are some amazing ideas in it, and some crazy ingredients. I think the strangest one would have to be the one using crab meat, but she describes it as a cold crab bisque entree, so when you put it that way, it might be nice. It is certainly not a dessert though, lol!

I can't eat ice cream for... ages though because a can't eat sugar for ages! I can dream though. *sigh*

The one of vanilla ice cream recipe uses 9 egg yolks and makes 1.5L, wow!

Gosh I would have to make a lot of meringues to use up all those egg whites.

[Sim]

Well... perhaps its a good excuse to make them? hehe

(I think you can freeze egg whites....  not sure)

Sure can Sim, just make sure you make a note on the container just how many egg whites there are in there.

You poor thing Sim - how do you cope on the forum? I've just found out that I can't have any fats or oils till about Christmas and then only a tiny bit. While we don't each much - cutting it out all together is prooving tricky. We went out to a restaurant last night (who have seen the tmx but haven't purchased yet) and the chef who I know said they'd prepare it with as little oil etc as possible, I found myself thinking, if only they could steam the chicken in the Varoma instead of pan frying.....

I'm very glad I have mine. I can see why they are out of stock, I think it's rather good.

I cope alright... getting used it now, it could be much worse! I don't know how you can't have any fats or oils?!? That sounds very difficult. What about fat that is in animal products? Like meat and milk? Thats ok to eat? I think you have it worse! I like my butter too much.

I don't think I will be buying anymore cookbooks as I have started going through all of mine and making a list of things which I feel can be converted for the TMX.  Was up until 1am this morning going through 3 books (it becomes very addictive and exciting and you just want to do another book).  I have one UK book called 365 Dish A Day + 1 for a leap year and I have put 56 recipes on a list which I feel can be converted. I always read every recipe in a cookbook, make lists of things to do rather than use the index and on my original list of recipes to try there were 93 out of the 366 recipes so my 56 for the TMX is a pretty high percentage.  Most recipe books I only get a few things suitable to convert.  What a quandary - where to start Plus of course, there are all those lovely recipes already converted on our forum I want to try too. Oh well, better to be excited about food at my age rather than sick of deciding what to cook.

So true Judy. I'm actually finding that I am using the TMX now for all or bits of everything I do.

[gertbysea]

OH dear. Do yo think you need therapy Judy?
