Mmm yum Karen. Will have to add this to my weekly menu plan. I cooked Mongolian Lamb tonight from STGTBT AT 6pp plus rice was delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat looks nice. Thanks for working out all the PP for the books. Unfortunately, I don't have any of those ones *big smile*. The one I have used most since it was published is "Cooking for EveryOne". I must sit down and do the PPs for all my favourites or even for ALL the recipes. If I manage that little task, would you mind if I sent them to you?
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeleteI have that one too. One of my favourites. I wouldn't mind at all if you worked out the PP's for that one. If you don't get to it dont stress though cause I am hoping to have that one done by end of this week. Have some free time available to get it done.
Hi Karen - you have done a lot of work converting the books. The blog I am looking at shows three books Everyday Cooking 2009, 5 Ingredients Cookbook and Secrets of Success 2009.
ReplyDeleteHave you had time to convert any other books?
thanks Tina
thank you for the conversion of some favourites. I don't suppose you have the Buttermilk and Basil Muffins from one of the old books, I cant find my book and also a Sundried Tomato Damper they were both great recipes.
ReplyDeleteThank you
