Book Reviews of The Mixer Bible: Over 300 Recipes for Your Stand Mixer
Book Review: Some absolutely amazing recipes with a few flops
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is meant to help you get the most out of your Kitchen-aid attachments. If you only own the flat beater and dough hook that came with the mixer, you will only be able to make 40-50% of the recipes. But if you own many of the attachments, you'll love this book. It uses the pasta maker, ice-cream maker, sausage maker, slicer/shredder, strainer, and food grinder. I own all of the attachments except the sausage maker (one chapter with 30 recipes) so I get a lot of use out of this cookbook. NOTE: THERE IS NOW AN UPDATED 2ND EDITION - I'D CHECK THAT ONE OUT IF YOU CAN!
Pros:
1. This book uniquely helps you to get the most out of your Kitchen-aid attachments. If you find yourself with lots of Kitchen-aid attachments that are collecting dust, fear no more! This book will show you the way. And as you get more comfortable with your attachments as a result of this book, you will no doubt pull them out for recipes from other books too!
2. Some of the recipes are really good. Like really really really really REALLY good! Great appetizers included the Mediterranean Tart with Goat Cheese and Roasted Vegetables (absolutely delicious) and the Spinach and Garlic Dip (fantastic and chunky). Cream of Cauliflower Soup; Hearty Harvest Roasted Vegetable Soup; Minestrone; Tomato and Rice Soup with Basil; Shrimp Bisque; and Zucchini, Cheese & Sausage Soup were all really really good soups. Amazing dinners and side dishes I will definitely make again included Linguine with Roasted Asparagus and Cream Sauce; Summer Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil; Sausage Shepherd's Pie; Salmon Pot Pie; Ham and Pork Loaf with Apricot Glaze; Scalloped Potatoes with Caramelized Onions; Smashed Potatoes; Maple-Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Toasted Pecans; Mushrooms and Wild Rice; Brown Sugar Cinnamon Apples. I've made the Basic Egg Pasta a zillion times, and the Lemon Black Pepper Pasta and Tomato Pastas are great. Breads are always awesome; the Farmhouse White Bread, Herb Bread, Cheese Bread, Cinnamon Bread, French Baguettes, Rosemary Focaccia with Tomatoes and Fresh Mozzarella, Monkey Bread, Irish Soda Bread, Onion Rolls, Cloverleaf Rolls, Buttermilk Biscuits, Cheddar Cheese Biscuits, Lemon-Thyme Biscuits, Lemon Blueberry Muffins (won a taste test among 3 cookbooks in our house ;), Banana Walnut Bread and Apple Streusel Coffee Cake were all amazingly delicious!!!
Desserts are also great in this book. Earning an mmmmmmm award: Soft Sugar Cookies, Crispy Oatmeal Cookies, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, Banana Cream Pie with Italian Meringue, Blondies, Yellow Cake with Chocolate Fudge Frosting, Plum Upside-Down Cake, and French Vanilla Ice-Cream. So was the Cinnamon Applesauce :)
Cons:
1. Some of the recipes are not so good. The Fried Zucchini was just a hot mess gone wrong. Chilled Minted Melon Soup and Curried Pear Soup - Gross. The Split Pea soup and Spicy Black Bean Soups are both grainy and not very good. Lower-Fat Oatmeal Scones with Currants and Walnuts - not so good - and why would you make a low fat scone, come to think of it? Somehow the ultimate chocolate chip cookie was just decent instead of ultimate. Cheesecake Blueberry White Chocolate Ice Cream was a flop - why would you want frozen blueberries in your ice-cream? And don't put blue cheese in your muffins, either; the Blue Cheese and Walnut Mini Muffins sounded great but all four taste testers found them...very weird. The Blueberry Steamed Pudding is worth making just to try this historical dish, but you'll see...you'll only make it once! And then there were the dull, monotonous, "okay" recipes: Swedish Meatballs; Sugar-and-Spice cake; Potato and Leek Soup, Sweet Potato, Coconut and Ginger Soup; Butternut Squash Soup with Nutmeg Cream.
2. There are quite a few pate recipes in the book. Well, okay, there are only four. But I haven't even seen a pate in my lifetime. I'm 31. For some people, this is a plus. For me, it's just kind of weird.
So, if you're willing to take the lows with the highs, and you own most of the KitchenAid attachments and want to get some good use out of them, I highly recommend this cookbook. I turn to it all the time.
