Pete's Recipe Book

Hi Pete, I'm new to slimming world and have just found your thread, your recipes sound amazing! Forgive me if I'm being blonde, but I just wondered if all of these recipes are on the extra easy plan? I haven't had chance to read all the way through yet but I certainly will be making my way through as an when I have the time. Thank you so much for posting all these, they're going to be a big help!

Hi Sammyb1985.
Welcome to SW and this forum. Yes, most of the recipes are based on the Ee plan but some can be used on the other plans but I find that Ee works best for me. All recipes can be modified to suit your ingredients, that's the fun of cooking! if you do modify one let us know how it came out. Enjoy! Pete

Pete, I really cannot thank you enough, the receipes and ideas are trully amazing, so much so, that I have just had to join the site just to say a big thank you!

I have previously done slimming world and lost four stone (at home, just with the magazine and ideas from this site) but have recently put a stone back on due to changing jobs and a very good holiday, so back I am back on the plan tomorrow and now armed with loads of brilliant new ideas for menus.

Thank you so much.
 
Thanks Both!
Enjoy the recipes, I do, I am looking at some more new ones to try, please feel to try to improve them, modify them to suit your needs, taste or ingredients. If you find an improvement please let everyone on this site.

Wow so amazing! And they look so yummy. Going to try lots of these!

Do you think you will write them all up in a quick-reference recipe book? would be great! maybe some of the money raised could got slimming world and some to a charity xx
 
Hi Pete this looks amazing and can't wait to try it :) Just one question what is "Schultz garlic, mushrooms & cream sauce" - live in Ireland so maybe it's not available here :( You are such an incredible inspiration to us all, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipes. Marian :)
 
Hi. Marian.
The "Schultz garlic, mushrooms & cream sauce" is a packet mix that you just add milk and heat up to thicken to produce a sauce. You could make a similar sauce of your own by chopping up a mushroom, adding garlic salt, a small quantity of soft cheese, 1tbsp cornflower mixed with water to a paste and add milk. Good luck!
Pete
 
Thanks a mil Pete. Will see if we have an 'Irish' equivalent here :)
 
Just had your peanut curry! Delicious! Thanks pete x
 
It's my favourite!
