the takeaway secret

By the way, I found a great garlic sauce recipe on there which used milk instead of yoghurt and it gives a lovely runny consistency.

oh sb, sorry but, ha ha :rotfl:

I do that kind of thing all the time with my recipe books, it's gotten so bad I've been putting 'my' recipes on a blog so I don't have to keep looking though books when I want to find something again

bonus is I don't have to email recipes to the kids any more

Hey that's a good idea.

Now I have to sort out a blog.



I have started to write my fav ones from the site in a little spiral notebook and keep it in the kitchen cupboard, I would be mad as hell if I lost any of them as some are quite good especially the spice mix recipes.

it's quite addictive! I tried Blogspot at first, but couldn't get on with it, then went over to the free Wordpress & it's so much better I'll pm you the link if you like?

I have a notebook too, but it's so old the spine's broken & it's falling to bits, I'd be stricken if I lost it

I just ordered this book, I love Chiense food and Indian food... What should I make first?

Which is THE BEST recipe you have made so far with this book?

Haven't read it yet, I will settle down with some rich tea and a cup of coffee later and have a peruse.

Bought the book this week after reading this thread, I made the doner today . Did not find the onion powder, so minced up an onion with the bamix and a tiny bit of water. Added it and double the spices to 1kg of mince lamb from our local Turkish supermarket. I shaped it to be about the size of a paperback, and about 1 1/2 inches high and bunged it in a baking dish. It cooked fine in just over an hour, and was the perfect shape to slice on the Kenwood slicer - now got perfect doner shaped slices!! I let it go cold and pressed it before slicing. It might be a tiny bit spicy, too much black pepper I think, but my, it is delish! I think the onion has helped to keep it moist (minced onion is used to make the elephant leg). So we have kebabs tomorrow night and two more lots in the freezer - I love this book!
