Book Reviews of The Food Processor Bible

Book Review: Finally a MODERN food processor cookbook with a wealth of recipes I WANT to cook
Summary: 5 Stars

I splurged on a high end food processor many months ago and have been on a quest since then to expand my usage of it with the perfect cookbook. It's been quite the quest.

I discovered that food processors must have surfaced at a time when pickled foods were really hot and everyone was into things floating around in gelatin. I kid you not, the food processor cookbooks I looked through were like a menu for a 1960s or 1970s party and I wasn't sure why. I want a cookbook that's full of things I can use my food processor to create that will result in my family or guests requesting the recipe. And not just one or two recipes pulled out of the book. Not much to ask, right? Odd that it took me so long to find it. And I shopped hard.

But this is truly a NEW, MODERN cookbook for today's food processors, the power behind 'em, and at a whopping almost 500 pages, it really is a "food processor bible".

Whether you've had your food processor since the day they were invented or you just purchased a 14-cup stainless modern processor with a commercial induction motor...you are good to go here and will be busy every day of the year cooking with it, should you so choose.

Divided into the following sections:

Using Your Food Processor
Appetizers
Soups, Salads, and Marinades
Fish and Dairy Dishes
Meat and Poultry
Vegetables and Side Dishes
Super Salads and Dressings
Yeast Doughs, Quick Breads and Muffins
Cakes and Frostings
Desserts and Tortes
Chocolates, Cookies, and Squares
Pies and Pastries
Passover (an unusual section to add but understandable since the author is a freelance food writer, food consultant, cooking teacher and also an author of KOSHER cookbooks. Although these foods weren't ones familiar to me within this section, I gotta admit the few I tried were GOOD. Learn something new....)

My food processor is now whipping up some meals and saving me time doing it...I've created homemade pasta dough, some excellent dressings (try "Marty's Garlic Cheese Dressing" and "Green Goddess Salad Dressing or Dip"), Dreamy Creamy Chocolate Cheesecake, bagels, Onion Cheese Quiche, Quick Potato Soup, Honey Garlic Sparerib Sauce, Homemade White Bread, Chinese Chicken Dinner-In-A-Dish, Cheese Cannelloni, Mushroom Almond Chicken Stir-Fry, and Cinnamon Buns so far with perfect results.

The instructions are easy to follow and there are even suggestions for makings the recipes lighter if desired.

Negatives: Because a product is rarely perfect, I try to give the full picture with negatives as well. But this is really a great and extensive cookbook. I know some people love photos in their cookbooks...While it should be noted that there aren't any, it should also be noted that the book contains so many recipes that it probably wouldn't fit in my cookbook holder if it did due to the already large size...personally, I'd rather have the recipes. That's just me.


Conclusion: There are a wide varitey of dishes in here, no matter what your mood...there are just as many "All-American, family pleasin', and even kid friendly" dishes that everyone is bound to love as their are more exotic dishes. A huge cookbook, this is chock full of recipes so you'll find an enormous collection of new things to use with your food processor...from main dishes, to soups and appetizers, to salads, to desserts, to breads...if you can make it in your processor it's probably in here. And you'll create them faster and easier, just as the food processor was meant to do.
