Featured in the ‘Travelling with Thermomix’ cookbook, this delicious recipe for Chocolate Pie is taken from

gently melts in your mouth.

Thanks Nay-nay,  I have never heard of this cookbook - where did you come across it?

[Nay-nay]

oh - here is the message  Sorry Trudy - It was given out to consultants this month if they made 3 sales but it will be available to public through their consultants next year. It is the 3rd volume after "full steam ahead" and "my way of cooking".
