    Question 4 Ingredients Cook Book

    Just wondering if anyone else has it and your favourite recipe?

    I was given this a few years back and have never used it, looks like there are quite a few good things to try but don't know where to start.

    I have the red one - not sure if it's the first or second one. I LOVE the toblerone dip

    I found it a bit gimicky - have only tried a few recipes, very hit and miss. And some of them are just sily - boiled rice? or at least one of the 'ingredients' is a packet or jar of something.
    Mine didn't have pictures though... are there different versions?

    ... if your talking about the two Aussie women putting them together i reckon they ripped off the idea from an American author as my sis bought my DP a 4 ingredients cook book years, & years ago !!

    Mine doesn't have pics either, i think i have the very first one.
    I too found it funny it says 4 ingredients but it might list A CUP OF VEGGIES and then suggest say 5 different veggies...

    I made these just the other day. They're definitely yum. I adjusted mine slightly by adding some vanilla and some baking powder. I also used the biscuit recipe as a base for the slice that has jam and then coconut over the top (can't think of what it is called atm! lol) and it was awesome.

    I've got both, and I tend to only use them when we're having people over. Their Chicken and Jarlsberg Casserole is SCRUMPTIOUS!!

    Yep, you can see the cheats in some of the recipes But for me it all works, coz I just wanna be able to make half decent food quickly

    .... harr harr wish i had of thought of it, such a simple idea ... did you hear those two woman had to ask their happy hubby's to give up there own day jobs due to these two women's success, oh well GOOD on 'em wish i was making their money

    My DP can't stand those two women i couldn't work out why until he explained they look like a couple of Westy housewives, bit rough trying to be a diamond ... i told him he was a darn snob, lol !!

    " Lisa " is it called Raspberry Slice, sounds like what my Mum makes, as a kid i would wait for it hot out the oven ... tasted bit like a pudding then a slice when warm, YUM !!
