This is a converted recipe from one of the Annette Sym's Symply Too Good to be True cookbooks. I came across this conversion at http://www.stephberg.com/?p=927 but have played with it a bit and altered some of the times etc.  I now find it was first posted here by Snoozie who should get the credit for the conversion.

Lovely and healthy Judy.  Looks like a good one for lunch on a car rally day.

The original recipe (plus Snoozie's conversion) used 2 whole eggs and 3 whites but what the heck, who needs to be that healthy

Yum - my neighbour used to make something similar.  I made it when this recipe was published:

I have photos on my other computer that I should post of this slice.

Ah ha, that is the exact version on the website I mentioned but without mention of Snoozie being the person who first converted and posted it.  I also found one of my recipes on that site and that now is credited to me after an email to her.  Sorry Snoozie, I didn't realise it was on this forum, it is getting too big now to remember everything I see

I haven't looked at this site before today but there seems to be a couple of recipes exactly like ones that had been posted here before going on that site but no names for credit.

There's even recipes straight from EDC with no credit given eg Fruity Dream.  That turned me off the site a tad.

There are heaps, I browsed again last night, found more of mine, some of ILB's, TMX-ers and goodness knows who elses.  I wrote to her about the first one of mine I found and she said consultants in Vic share a data base for their recipes to hand out to customers and often don't know their origins  She quickly amended my Asian flavoured chicken stew and would be very busy if everyone here emailed her pointing out their recipe. What can you do about someone like that, apart from not visiting their website anymore.

[cathy79]

The odd one is named, but they definitely seem to be in the minority.  Don't know what the solution is.

I just had a look at this site, it's a rip off. No one minds recipes being put on blogs with acknowledgements, but without  is.........
It only takes a moment to say where it's from etc. I have sent her an email.

After reading this thread about the website, I had a look.I think it's very naughty not to give credit to the people who have developed a recipe.It will be interesting Cookie what her reply will be to your email.

I had an email from Steph this morning.
Here it is.


Hi there,
 
Many thanks for your contact.  I appreciate your email and letting me know that you are the author.  Please know it is my aim to give credit where credit is due.  I do have a little blurb on my home page saying these recipes are not mine and have been collated from various unknown sources and as I know the source I will name them.
 
I apologise if this has been upsetting, it was never my intention.  I have limited internet access as I am in WA for grou leader training till Friday but will take the recipe down until I hear how you wish me to proceed.
 
Kind regards,
Steph

I suppose the only thing to do is bombard her with the authors of the original recipe development.We all love our Thermomix and part of that is to share recipes, especially on this wonderful forum.

[I Love Bimby!]

As a Victorian consultant I know nothing about this shared data base and her email sounds very much like what she sent to JD. The Vic Branch Manager has a large database of recipes and all with the recipe developers name on it.

She has a great website with lots of recipes. We can just help her acknowledge where many of these have come from.

And not knowing the source of the recipe doesn't explain the ones straight from official Thermomix books.  Wonder what their thoughts would be considering how they monitor this forum to ensure we're not undermining their sales?
