    Just thought I could just as easily make a suet crust pie as well, maybe do one of each?

    cook two pie crusts for the same pie at the same time?

    Just popping on to say well done to everyone - I have been lurking since the beginning and really look forward to seeing what you all come up with from day to day. Most of it is over my head - but I still love reading it. Am excited about tips and equipment list as theink they will be very helpful for a lot of us.

    Fantastic thread everyone - please keep it up!

    I know it seems very sacrificial, but that's the general spirit of the recipe testers, everyone is going above and beyond the call of duty :)

    I was just wondering whether anyone would be able to do one post with links to every recipe in the thread on it. I am having trouble keeping up and though I have copied lots of the recipes into text documents there are lots that I have missed that I now can't find.

    I think this would be extremely valuable too.:D

    I've been wracking my brains for an easy way!

    If everyone read just one page and then linked to all the recipes on that, and then the next person clicked qoute, and then added another pages worth we might get somewhere? If we start with the most recent pages, we wouldn't be using recipes which have subsequently had to change, IYSWIM?

    I am wrestling with getting to know Googledocs at the moment. We could keep one on there with all the recipes in there

    I have a Word doc that has lots of the recipes in, including some, like the turkey leg roast, that we aren't using anymore

    Or we could link to them all in the really early post as we started doing?

    um, it's on Googledocs (somewhere). I have given access to everyone, but still fumbling with Googledocs and how it works at the moment.

    The link is http://docs.google.com/#all, but that might be to my signon linked to my email id?

    I have sent a copy via pm to your email account in case you couldn't get access to it.

    that signed me into my email account and opened a new googledocs account with no docs in it but the option for me to search for/import/share docs.

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

    Dont know about anyone else - but I think kidney beans would be perfectly acceptable - and healthier than baked beans (no sugar:)).


    I usually use kidney beans or similar (cannellini or whatever) for veggie burgers. great success.
