I bought this as a stocking filler last year...must get my husband to look it out again. We made the double burger tasted just a big m*ahem*.. like a take away burger! I was originally disappointed there were no pics but i agree, really no need.0

hi Nanamia,
yes that would work
I do it with a Fajita mix (slightly different from Kenny's) & just add 3 Tablespoons which is all the 'spoon' measures from the original recipe added up
if you bulk up Kenny's Fajita mix, you'd need 2 Tablespoons + 2 1/2 teaspoons, I'd just use 3 scant Tablespoons
multiples of 3 are easier to work out because 3 teaspoons = 1 Tablespoon, so 12 x the recipe with the ingredients in the order they're shown in the book (can't write it all out on account of copyright)
bulk Doner seasoning
4 Tablespoons
4 Tablespoons
2 Tablespoons
2 Tablespoons
2 Tablespoons
1 Tablespoon
4 Tablespoons
2 Tablespoons
then you'd use 1 Tablespoon + 2 1/4 teapoons of the mix, again, I'd just use 2 scant Tablespoons <--- CORRECTION
remember to give the bulk mix a stir before using, as the ingredients will settle with the herbs on top & finely ground things on the bottom
Hi
Would you share your fajita mix recipe please?
Also, I have the book and was wanting to make this honer mix in bulk. Is the last 4 tablespoons on your calcs correct? In my book the actual bit listed is just 1 teaspoon unless Im reading it wrong?
Thanks

I'm supposed to be on a get healthy campaign but I guess once a fortnight won't hurt as long as I pick something not too bad
Is the second book any good? Or should I wait until I've tried to use the first one?

See I use it to be more healthy. You can use the freshest/lean ingredients. I think the doner is really healthy. Lamb mince on a rack so all the fat drains off, fresh pitta, lots of salad. Fabulous.
Second on is good too, just different recipes.
Enjoy.Opinion on everything, knowledge of nothing.0 -

The second is good yes, not as much in it I use as the first but its well worth the few pounds it costs
I think I tried everything the first few weeks, I ate so unhealthily but now I use it as a treat or in place of a weekly takeaway.
Plus there is lettuce on a big mac, right?
