I adore Tandoori! Bring it over my way JD!
Must get the ingredients for that Viet Chicken Salad, it sounds just the sort of thing that I love to eat. I'm going to make the Umami Paste tomorrow now I've finally got hold of some Anchovies.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Am doing the tandoori chicken today and the almond yoghurt chicken curry. I have some slight adaptations as I'm using the leftover turkey.  :). I haven't tasted them yet but so far I've found the app (I have it on the iPad) remarkably easy to use

So far, so good :)

I just downloaded the app verions - very clever and hopefully can be expanded in the future. I wonder if something showing how many serves and approx total prep/cooking time would be useful as well.

It certainly is a great tasting dish Denise.......made it the other night (had to purchase the app after forgetting that I had loaned my book), used cannellini beans as I didn't have kidney beans - result was equally tasty  :)  :)

As I haven't been on the forum much lately I have missed out on all that's been happening, l have just been reading through this topic and have now downloaded the App. So far It looks impressive. Now to decide what to try first. Thanks Tenina for all your hard work well done.

DW and I ha the Speck and Salad Pizza for dinner tonight.  I am a traditionalist when it comes to pizza so had some reservations however the combination of flavors with the Jarlsberg, Dijon mustard and bacon (I used diced bacon from the deli counter at Coles because I couldn't get speck in town.) really complimented each other.

DW felt it was a little to 'oniony' for her so next time I will put less escahlots on her pizza.

The salad on top added another dimension adding texture not usually associated with pizza.

Here's a picture of what I've done to my Dinner Spinner recipes (thanks to Ceejays idea with her laminated recipes) - it is so much easier to flip over now with the O-ring replacing the plastic screw. You need an O-ring that opens completely to get the cards on successfully.

I have just finished posting all the reviews hidden in this thread to the review section.  This now means that only the following recipes are waiting for someone to try and review from the Dinner Spinner recipe cards (not including the app recipes).  Tenina would be quite pleased with that I would think.

Smoked Salmon Caper Tarts 29
Thai Fish Parcels page 31

You might have to put up a few more photos though Julie - unfortunately they don't copy.  Sorry about that but I think it better to have all the reviews in the one spot.
