    I got this book over christmas and it is great. I use my kindle in the kitchen, but I put in in a large plastic bag, so it stays clean.

    If you like the US style food, this is a good book as well, it is different from the UK book. You can click on the look inside as well to see some of the recipes. I love the chicken wings/buffalo wings and the crab cakes

    Thanks for the link. there are literally hundres of recipes in that book! Just got it free for my kindle :D
  • The curry is the traditional chicken curry :j Was really nice too

    Baking soda is bi-carb, baking powder is a mixture of bi-carb and cream of tartar (often with anti caking agents) in a ratio of 1:2
    If you used baking soda and bi-carb then you've two thirds of a teaspoon more bi-carb than the recipe called for, which might explain the explosion. (And no cream of tartar, which, if memory serves, affects the size and structure of the bubbles)
    Hope this helps

    Thank you for this just had another bash at making them and ....

    Looks like a great book, was going to buy it for my kindle but thought I'd have a look on the "look inside" and it seems to have the entire book on it. If you don't want to spend the money, have a look on there and make a note of the recipes you like the sound of! ;)

    Edit: They've gone now :(
  • Just ordered this :) hoping to curb the takeaway cravings with it! xx

    Rather than using choc chips I used a bag of Mini Eggs to make a batch last night for school lunch boxes and there is one left this morning...

    Hehe, well if you do make them they do only need 7 minutes. When you pull them out they dont look cooked and do look 'gloopy' but they harden. I made the mistake of putting one batch in and they were tooth breakers when they came back out :o
