Pete's Recipe Book

Hi Peter, made your peanut curry tonight for tea. Delish, looking forward to making more of your fab recipes and thanks for posting them all. Have you got them printed in a book I would buy.

I've looked into the cost of printing a book but I need about £1000 to set it up, proof read it, and all printing costs, also would have to print a large quantity to bring the cost per book to a low price!
 
SW would want the copyright of the book as I add the syn value's etc to each recipe so I would have to remove all this info. I have hundreds of recipes, I would need a year to replace all of these!

Would it be worth joining an online e-publishing site. You publish for free but members donate towards your costs if they like your stuff. No costs other than your time, and a fairly wide audience.
 
Want to make the diet coke chicken, but I only have coke zero. Will it still work? not quite sure what the difference is between diet coke and coke zero.
 
Hi there.
I have never used zero coke but just try it!
It should work, just keep stirring the mix until it thickens, does take a time so be warned.....

Tikka Masala

Hi Pete, we've just started making your tikka masala. We've made the marinade, but we're unsure when to add the tikka masala mix. Do we add it to the marinade or later on? cheers

.... We just put everything in the pan & it turned out fine. Thanks for another great recipe.

In my weightwatcher days on the core plan, a lady on there published some e-recipe books and we paid here a couple of pounds for each one. Can't remember exactly how I paid - it may have been by paypal and she sent them via email.
 
Hi Pete

Do you have a recipe for Lamb Curry or anything I can use up some leftover lamb please? Must say love your recipes especially peanut curry and chicken stir fry. Beats a takeaway!!!

Sorry to but in with your question to Pete, but I used some leftover lamb & made it with the Peanut Butter Curry sauce & it was delicious
 
Hi Kim.
Glad you enjoyed the Peanut butter curry using lamb instead of chicken! Cooking is all about experimentation!
