Hi - I hope you don't mind me asking this but I am not sure about whether the following recipe is free/superfree food or whether or not it comes under the heading of food misuse. I have just made a cheesecake by mixing 250g quark, 1 mullerlite vanilla, 3 egg yolks and 4tbs of granulated sweetner and then folding in 3 stiffly beaten egg whites. I've baked it for 30 minutes in a lowish oven and it looks lovely. Would this be free food still or is it not free anymore because I have made it into a cake? Sorry to be dense about this ....

Theres a free lemon meringue thats made in a similar way to this and I think its classed as free food - HTH - I'm sure someone else will be able to confirm tho

Hey all,

Had my first weigh in today - I lost 2 and half pounds:j this is amazing because I went away to Manchester Sat-Mon to meet up with friends!! I was very strict at beginning of week and had no syns, so saved them up to use on weekend . So glad I didn't postpone joining for a few weeks.

Does anyone have the new SW magazine - May/June issue? On page 59 it says that 2 Alpen Light Chocolate & Fudge Bars count as one HE. Is this correct?!! Hope so!

It is right so long as your homemade soup contained only ingredients that were free on red. If there was any potato/parsnip/corn etc in it, then you would need to syn or HB them ....
