page numbers depend on how many posts you view per page. i have mine on the highest setting some keep it on the lower setting. its confusing

I am now not so convinced this book is money saving at all.
After making a few of the recipes I headed off to the supermarket to stock up on ingredients seeing as it is my payday to conjour up some more wonderful dishes.
In my eagerness to get home to make my daughter a burger,whislt looking in the rearview mirror whilst reversing out of sainsbury car park I failed to see a small black bollard,(which should not have been there)consequently I reversed into it,ripped half of the rear bumper off the car and smashed the rear light cluster off for good measure as well.:o
I am hoping a second hand rear light cluster,some gaffa tape and a tube of hard as nails will somehow stick the lot back together again.
Luckily it is an old P reg escort so not the end of the world but those burgers better taste pretty damn fine once I get this mess sorted,cos my missus is giving me right old ear ache for getting the book.:(
I also want to know why the French's mustard was not on the end of the aisle with all the other mustards,because this could possibly have been avoided if I did not have to tour three aisles to find the bleedin thing and it may have still have been light when I left the store.

At least you have a sense of humour by the sound of it which helps.

Could have been a lot worse.

Hope you enjoy your meals, if your wife likes doner kebabs make that one first, she will def be impressed.

hi

is there any chance someone could post the sweet and sour chicken balls recipe?? This is my comfort food for when i am ill or rundown...i would love to be able to make it - do you think it would store in the freezer to be brought out for emergencys?

I will get the book i think - my birthday is next month so will ask DH...

but if anyone could post the sweet and sour chicken in the mean time that would be great..

thanks

I don't think anyone can post recipes from the book on here to be honest, the site would get in the doo doo for breaking copyright rules.

I''ve lost my book:eek::eek::(.Cant believe it, I had it last weekend and now its not in its usual place.Was going to make the choc chip cookies but its gone:(:(:(.Will be turning the bookcase out later and getting the kids involved if I cant find it .Otherwise will have to purchase another copy;) and that isnt very money saving now is it.





UPDATE "I'VE FOUND IT" happy days again, I found it under the blanket in the dogs bed, god knows how it got there, just so happy I have my takeaway bible.

My book arrived today. I am looking forward to trying it once I get some of the ingredients I don't have.

For anyone wanting to try before buying the book if you go to Amazon you can click on the picture of the book to look inside at a sample of pages. The recipes for the doner kebab and some of the burgers are there. You can also see the index to see all the different thing you can make.

Edit: I've just had another look and now it skips past the recipes? I wonder if it only lets you view them once? :huh:

I have just looked and it doesn't show any recipes and this is the first time I have looked.

A bit daft putting them on there really as the kebab recipe is one of the main ones people buy the book for!
