Book Reviews of The Mixer Bible: Over 300 Recipes for Your Stand Mixer

Book Review: Great book for new stand mixer owners
Summary: 5 Stars

Once my new standmixer was sitting on the counter my first thought was: Now what? I've struggled along for years with a $20 hand mixer, wooden spoons, and brute force. How was I going to use 475 watts without obliterating perfectly good food?

The Mixer Bible to the rescue.

Other reviewers have complained that it doesn't give enough information about the mixers themselves. I found the brief discussion just right. It helped me decide which attachments to put on my wish list, includes tips for using them, and offers advice on size and power based on one's needs. My experience so far is that you learn to use a stand mixer by using it for real recipes, not by reading about it in theory.

Offering a nice balance of basic recipes and more creative ones (Lemon-Thyme Biscuits--mmmm!)the authors show how the stand mixer can be incorporated into your kitchen routine and offers some culinary adventures. The recipes are clear and easy to follow for someone with basic cooking experience. (If your a beginning cook, you'll also want a comprehensive basic cookbook like "The Joy of Cooking." This one isn't a "Beginning Cook's Bible.") I appreciate the layout (one recipe to a page) and the hints for making ahead. Some reviews complain about the lack of photos. Like most cookbooks, this one has color plates of a few recipes. I'm happy to read a recipe and imagine how it will taste, not judge it based on how it looks.

A common assertion among the negative reviews seems to be that "The Mixer Bible" doesn't contain enough information to allow you to adapt your own recipes. If you're expecting an stand-alone analysis of how to use a stand mixer for specific cooking tasks, you'll be disappointed. But all you have to do is find a Mixer Bible recipe similar to the one you are trying to make and follow the procedures in the Mixer Bible with your recipe's ingredients. I did this with my favorite scone recipe for our church's Easter brunch yesterday. They came out great and I was able to mix a double batch without struggling to get everything well-mixed by hand.

This book will keep your stand mixer from becoming an expensive door stop.

Summary of The Mixer Bible: Over 300 Recipes for Your Stand Mixer

From simple to spectacular, recipes created for the stand mixer.

Sales of the stand mixer are consistently on the rise -- understandably, since it's perhaps the most integral piece of culinary equipment one can own. No other machine can knead dough, grind meat, slice vegetables, whip egg whites and make ice cream.

This new edition features 40 brand new recipes and 16 pages of all-new color photography. The outstanding collection of delicious recipes will inspire everything from appetizers and soups to homemade pasta dishes and sausages, from divine desserts to special snack treats.

Some of the delicious recipes include:

  • Parmesan cheese straws; minestrone; falafel pitas; deep-dish chicken and sausage pie with biscuit crust
  • Potato latkes; Hungarian sausage; garlic kielbasa; basic egg pasta; lemon black pepper pasta
  • Banana walnut bread; sour cherry scones with orange glaze; the ultimate chocolate chip cookie
  • Cranberry maple squares; banana cream pie; chocolate amaretto cake; French vanilla ice cream.

A special section on understanding the equipment answers questions about stand mixers and their attachments and gives detailed information on their uses. Also included are dozens of valuable tips and techniques from expert chefs.
