   I am just trying to decide whether it is worth getting one.
 
 Have you used it and would you recommend this recipe book??

   Yeah , there were only a few recipes I use regularly (the chicken pie for example ) 
 TBH , even tho they claim to be cheaper cos its 4 ingredients, a lot of the ingredients I found (so it may just be me ) aren't ones that I had lying around, so I would have to go and by them anyway

   Nellsmc you could have mine if you like.  I have never really used it and can't see the point in hanging on to it if someone else might get more use out of it.  PM me your address and I will send it if you like.

   I watched the tv show when they were on and thought it was pretty lame.  A lot of it was only 4 ingredients becaused they used packet stuff.... and if you look at them they clearly aren't struggling stay at home mums trying to save a buck, to me they looked luck rich "mums who lunch" who couldn't be arsed cooking dinner.  Sorry, they really just annoyed the crap outa me.

   I've had a look at it and it is useless. The trouble is that the four ingredients each time are cans of this or packets of that...and like the others above I never have that stuff around.

   I dont tend to buy recipe books anymore - there is so much you can get off the net, food mags etc and the library is always good too.
