We are a pretty honest lot on here Tenina, if we don't like it we would say so in as nice a way as possible  ;D
You have chosen well, it is a great little book with meals to suit everyone - that's what sells books, catering to the majority.

No shiielding on here Tenina plain honest reviews - take a look at this honesty.  In contrast, Dinner Spinners has the thumbs up by both thermie and non-thermie owners who have visited this household, your success is so very much deserved!!!! - roll on mid Jan!!!!

I for one wouldn't write that I like something if I didn't.  I do however note any tweaks that I do or something I would do differently next time, we all seem to do so on here with any recipe we make anyway, I think it's a good thing.  ;D

I had completely loss faith with any TM recipe book.  They are all hit and miss and I found myself going back to normal methods of cooking.  Your little book has given me interest again in using the TM to cook meals and I'm chuffed with the results.  Plus I like picking up little tips like chopping onions with the oil included makes for a better cut to the onion; I'd stopped chopping my onions in the TM.  :P

So I look forward to your new book, I'll be one of the first to buy it.   I wish you every success, you deserve it.  :D

Dinner Spinner has restored a lot of peoples faith in TMX books. I have all the books and hardly ever use them, except the EDC for guidelines. I feel guilty about it but too bad. I use recipes from here or simply convert my own as I go.
If Tenina's new book is as good as Dinner Spinners it will be a sell out in no time at all.

i agree with everything everyone has said above about dinner spinner, but one thing i'm really glad about is that we don't have to get eveything from HO. it's about time the monopoly was broken.  
so thank you, tenina, for breaking free and giving us something that we have been asking for. HO should also thank you - i'm sure you will be generating heaps of sales for them as well.

I am having a dinner spinner weekend.  Tonight we had the chicken pinwheels which were lovely (and so easy).  Tomorrow the speck pizza will be for lunch and the fisherman's pie for dinner. I am loving the recipes from the spinner.

I must admit that although I did think the spinner-idea was very nifty, the novelty is wearing off a little.  I am tempted to scan the recipes and print the two sides together on the page. I like to have the method and ingredients on the same page otherwise you are continually flipping it over.  It is only a little gripe though as the recipes are proving fabulous!  ;) ;D

Exactly as I felt Chelsea, it does get annoying having to flip all the time and losing your place in the process  ;) Not only that but there is no room to make notes and changes.

If only there were enough room for the method and ingredients on one side (and room for notes) and a beautiful big photo on the other side.  I guess then it would be A4 size and way too big and clunky. ;D
