Best recipe books to buy

[the_vermins]

ok. Recommend me some TMX recipe books to buy.

Which one's do you find the most helpful to your family?

[judydawn]

Meat on the Menu is my favourite book and there are plenty of nice things in the My Way of Cooking too (lovely pictures of all recipes). You can't go past the forum though for the variety and amount of recipes - having reviews and photos is a great help.

I like the meat on the menu and Indian but really you can't go past this site.  Lots of great things both sweet and savoury.

I love the Indian one and this site is the best of all.

Meat on the Menu and Indian

[the_vermins]

I have the indian one.  Got that for free with my TMX>

What about the festive one or budget busters?  Is the Cindi O'meara one worthwhile getting?

I like the recipes on here too, but I do like a good book with glossy pictures.

If you like cookbooks with pics then you can't go past "My way of Cooking"as there is lots of pics and helpful info. So far I have only made the Portuguese cream tarts which turned out great.  Perhaps your dealer would let you have a look before you purchase.

I made the lovely hommus out of MWOC today, but I couldn't narrow down the books if I tried, as I love them all (I just like all things TM) but as JD says - this forum has the best variety and there is nothing like someone taking a photo of their food or reviewing a recipe to inspire you to make it. It would depend upon your dietary requirements and what type of food you love to eat/cook.

The Budget book isn't too expensive $9 ? and the Festive shouldn't be too bad either.

[the_vermins]

Yeah I think the budget busters was $7 and the festive one $9.  What does you all think of the budget one?  I like being a tightarse and figure anything to help is good.

I gave my Cyndi O'Meara one away as it just didn't appeal to me but then that is just my opinion. If you could find someone who had the books and you could spend a bit of time perusing them, I think we probably wouldn't buy too many of the early ones but most of us are cook book tragics and just can't help ourselves.

I use Cindi O, vego and GF most. Didnt' like My Way Of Cooking at all. I think it is really up to what sort of food you like. I have bought Cindi O non-TMX cookbook and it is the best one  I have ever had

I love the Budget Busters book and the snacks one.  They are great little books and inexpensive.  Some of our favourite family dishes are out of these two books.  My boys think they're "winners"!

I like the festive cookbook - I bought it for $15, but believe it is now $10....I seem to only have one or two recipes from each cookbook I like. Typical of all the regular cookbooks I have.

I love the indian one and the meat one. I also like the Chef Laurent books  ( there was a link to this once on the thermomix site)
