Book Reviews of 200 Best Panini Recipes
Book Review: Yummmmm
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a pannini press just a few of months ago and can't believe that I've lived so long without one! The sandwiches are wonderful - warm and moist on the inside, yet crispy on the outside.
Yes, my family love the pannini sandwiches I've been making and can't seem to get enough of them. But I wanted to expand my repertoire, therefore I decided to purchase this book.
The recipes offer combinations of ingredients that I've thought of on my own (for example, chicken cordon blue, eggs and bacon) as well as combinations that I would never have thought of on my own. There are also suggestions about what to do with leftovers. (The leftover turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc pannini is to die for.)
Best of all, the recipes are not only inspirational but are also so easy to improvise. Just substitute different breads, cheeses, meats, or condiments.
I was so happy with this book, that I bought another for my son for his birthday a month ago.
Today he told me that he's been in a daze ever since as he's been living in pannini heaven.
Book Review: Recipes for everyone!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought several copies of this cookbook to give as Christmas presents to friends and family. My sister sticks to a strict vegetarian diet, and I read through the vegetarian section to see what was offered specifically for her. I was amazed! The vegetarian recipes are abundant and every one sounds delicious! Each recipe is written almost like a little story and before I knew it, I was well into the book and reading it like a novel. I didn't think anyone could come up with 200 panini recipes -- Tiffany Collins not only came up with a splendid variety of ingredients to put together in a panini, but she also included hundreds of great tips. With the selections she's provided, I could be eating a panini every day for months and the variety would make it seem like I was eating a different gourmet meal each time. What a great way for busy families to prepare and serve quick and easy nutritious meals!Book Review: Not just a sandwich
Summary: 5 Stars
O.K. I love cookbooks. I also love sandwiches. So what's not to love here. In my opinion, the term "Panini" is a bit overused these days, but marketing is marketing. The recipies in this book are intelligent, classy, fun and of course, delicious. My wife and I have tried 3 to date and are well on our way to try, not all, but many more. The layout, the "tips" and the headers for the sandwiches allows you access to the amount of thought that went into this book. I typically love cookbooks with many, many pictures. This book, however, doesn't need that many. The sandwichs' name is a picture in itself. Don't get me wrong, the pictures the book does have are beautiful. So, yes, I love this book. And by the way, who needs to go out and buy a panini grill when the ol' George Foreman works just great.Book Review: 200 Best Panini Recipes
Summary: 4 Stars
The recipes are good. There are a variety of types of Panini sandwiches to explore. The only critical thing I can mention about this book are: 1) There are not enough hints and tips to making this type of cooking more successful. For example, the best way to brown bread and the differences in using Olive Oil verses Cooking Oil versus Butter. I am sure other novice Panini makers like myself would appreciate the best of what to do and what not to do hints from someone that has a lot more experience in this type of cooking. 2) It would be nice if there were more photos within the pages. 3) It is somewhat expensive for a paperback book. At least the pages could of been laminated to reduce food and oil splattering.Book Review: A delicious solution
Summary: 5 Stars
When I lived in Italy, I practically lived on crisp, yummy panini sandwiches, and have been making them here for years. Most cooks have their own ideas about what makes a great panini, but we often rely on the same old ingredients. Tiffany Collins brings fresh, inspiring ideas to this simply satisfying treat, and with so many great ideas to choose from, you can eat a different panini every week for years and never have the same meal twice! Move over pasta, move over pizza: Tiffany's well-built panini book is the solution for tasty meals that are quick, easy, and oh so satisfying. It's a great resource, too, for combining ingredients that "work" well together, whether they're in a panini or not.
