I haven't been posting any recipes (I have a lot on the free forum site) of late, but I've been thinking and really want some input from others. I love cooking, more so baking and I've been cooking for years and if I didn't have an office job I would be in the cooking industry. Well over the past few weeks I've been coming up with some quite lovely recipes and great adaptions to some very well known favourites. I've been testing these out with family and the prize taste testers being my kids lol. I have gotten big ticks from everyone. Now what I'm thinking is and I think it was someone mentioned about me doing an ebook or something. My husband mentioned the same thing and I was talking to my inlaws and they actually mentioned it too and they are very much in support of me attempting it. These are the types of things I've been making:

• Low car doughnuts with low carb chocolate frosting
• blueberry and coconut muffins (both ordinary ones and low carb)
• lemon meringue pie
• pavlova (with artificial sweetner)
• chocolate caramel slice (this one is the winner, normal sugar eaters think this is better then the original version)

So what does everyone else think?? I'm not sure where to start, I thought about self publishing but will look into that sort of stuff later, I need to start writing out all the recipes because at the moment they are all locked up in my head.

Hi Janelle

I would love the lemon meringue, pavlova and choc slice if you can.  Are they on the free forum and if so how do I get to it?

Thanks! I have a week off over easter and I'm going to start typing up some of my recipes! I have so many now, the newest addition was chocolate eclaires (would have been eclairs if I had the right size nozzle for my piping bag.  The chocolate caramel slice is probably the best though and I have another variation to the lemon meringue pie which I am yet to try out, oh and not forgetting lemon jelly slice.  My freezer is just about full from the result of all my baking lol.  I'll have to check out some websites about self publishing but I've heard that ebooks are quite easy.

 

Now there's an idea Janelle - set up a web site with mouthwatering photos for us to drool over and have members 'pay per recipe'. Catch us before withdrawal and you'd clean up :o)
