Recipe book advice

[Kiwismum]

I am looking at getting more of the KK books to add to the one I have. The plan is that this will give me no excuse not to stick to the plan.

I have the Kiwi Kiss in the Kitchen already.

Could anyone tell me how much double up there is in the recipes in the book, and to get the widest range of recipes which ones should I get?

I realise that I could just look on line, but I like to have the books on hand to just browse through and like to carry them into the kitchen when I am cooking. Not so great on the whole where to put all those printed sheets.

So I am thinking of getting the Middle-aged spread but also will get the other recipe books if they have a good range of recipes.

Hi Ya Kiwismum,

Welcome to the Boards. I have all the books, and find that they hardly double up at all. My favourite is the KK in the Kitchen. And I would use all the others equally. The All Seasons one is good in that it is all recipes, if it is just recipes you are after, but they are set out according to seasons, so when you are looking for, say, a chicken recipe, they are not all in the same area. But if you don't mind that, it's good value. MASD has heaps of information in it as well. And the recipes are pretty modern (trendy). Not much help, I know. But my two cents worth anyway

Kiwimum - Mad Cow  lost 40kgs just using the books so she knows what these recipes are all about! I'm a bit of a throw everything in the wok and stirfry it girl even though I have a couple of the books so can't really give recipe advice but hope you find some goodies.

Kiwi KISS All Seasons Cookbook has all my favourite recipes and is still available.
There is no  double up of recipes in any of the books however as a Weighinonline Member you have full access to
my Recipe Archives.  I suggest you explore this first - lots of options here.   
Having said that there aren't many copies of the books left - running out fast.
We are going to be introducing a series of Ebooks in the next couple of months.
In the meantime you have lots to go on with.

Hi Carolyn, ciao bella!
I've posted a Ribollita Soup recipe on the Bula thread, but maybe you should take a look. I'm not sure if you have a Kiss2 version of this really scrummy Italian winter soup, as I don't have your books. Perhaps I shouldn't have posted it?  :-\
But I'm sure it can be adjusted to fit the programme. What do you think?

Hi Annmarie,

Yes, I saw your delicious soup recipe today!
Great minds think alike because a couple of weeks ago I did one very similar to yours.
You will find it in the archives when you come online.
Thanks for sharing your recipes with us - I am always on the lookout for new ideas.

Thanks everyone, that is great news.

I like to have the books to browse through, so although I have been looking at the online recipes, I might just go ahead and get the other books, since they are in short supply.

Hi Carolyn,
Was just wondering...once the daily recipes are posted on the recipe site, do they automatically get added to the archive?  Just thinking that I may miss one if I dont log in daily....would hate to miss out!!
Take care....looks like it is all systems go for your new site....may it go from strength to strength...

Hi  Cheryl,

The recipes are Weekly Recipes - as they are the ones I cook in the class that week.
Sorry if there was some confusion on that.     
They are posted every Wednesday afternoon and run for the week - then get added to the Archives.
The Archives contains hundreds of recipes.
