Love the pancakes and very excited about the laminations. Actually I just love all the recipes

Thermo Foodie and The Chef says:

Hehe thank you!! xx

Kat says:

Ooh, this looks amazing. I cant wait to give these a go. I would never have thought to use water and cacao and heat to then coat the sponge. Brilliant idea! Thanks heaps for your creativity and sharing 🙂

Thermo Foodie and The Chef says:

Thank you lovely!! x

Sharon B says:

Hello Ladies, glad to find the lamington recipe. Can’t wait to try it. I do have a request for printing the recipes – would it be possible to remove the photo for printing? The photos are very large and photos take up a tremendous amount of ink especially when printing on regular paper as one would print a recipe. I don’t like wasting so much ink; I’m sure I’m not the only who has this thought.
I love your recipes. I have all your books. And I love the two of you . You are SUPER!!! Thanks for all you do.

Thermo Foodie and The Chef says:

Thanks sharon, i agree! we have asked our IT guy if theres any way of adding a ‘remove images’ option in the print screen, im pretty sure ive seen that somewhere before, it just depends if our website is compatible with that option

Kay says:

Thank you. That would be great as I have the same issue with printing excess

Thermo Foodie and The Chef says:

in final stages of development now 🙂

Pam says:

My hubby will be wrapped if I make these, as he has always wanted me to make lamingtons from way back, & I refused as too messy! Ha! These maybe too I guess! I copied recipe & pasted, then changed some lines as to make it one page, then copied pic & resized it at the printer info, if that helps! 🙂

Thermo Foodie and The Chef says:

Sounds wonderful Pam, i cant wait to hear how you go! We are working on a new recipe plug in with a much more printer friendly printout so hopefully by the next time you go to print a recipe it will be even easier for you 🙂
