Ordered at 6.00am Friday morning and arrived at the PO yesterday. That is what I call service
DH couldn't understand why I had to open the box in the car, especially as I told him that this was his Valentine pressie for me.
I have read the book from cover to cover, and have made EVERY recipe in my mind. I am exhausted. What I like........
It is a good physical size to handle.
Good quality paper which has a nice tactile feel.
It lays open at each page, with 1 recipe to a page.
It has been produced in Australia.
A close up of the dish on each page communicates exactly how it should look.
The instructions are clear and simple.
As might be expected, there are lots of sweet things
There are about 20 mains, but most of the Sides could be turned into mains with the addition of some grilled, roasted or BBQ meat.
I love the Pantry Basics and the Starters and Snacks.
Criticisms. Not many and very personal
Fresh yeast is used where yeast is called for. I find this product unreliable and prefer dried yeast.
The soups don't offer anything very different to what I make, with the exception of the Chorizo, French lentil and Sweet potato soup. This will probably be the first recipe to try.
Is it worth $60? Which is the price plus postage. Definitely.
Will I use it, definitely.
How does it compare with other Glossy TMX books.
It offers something completely different to the other books , and a challenge to the way I think about some recipes and this can only be good. You can hear Tenina talking to you about the recipes. I like this, it is not slick.
Congratulations Tenina.
