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.

Great Cookbook!:
This is an awesome cookbook. Lots of great recipes. My kids have had a blast with it!
Solid recipes - excellent use of attachments:
The recipes in this book are just average. It has a large mix of recipes, so the choices are limited, so don't buy this book if you are looking to make only certain kinds of things (e.g. just pastries). Cons: few photos, some hard to find ingredients, slanted towards attachments Pros: mixer/attachment specific information, bread recipes, ravioli recipes I have the ice cream maker (get Ben and Jerry's book instead), slicer/shredder, and pasta roller attachments. I really wanted to make ravioli... more info
Off to a Great Start!:
I'm three recipes into this book, and it's delivering. I tweaked the Banana Walnut Bread into Banana Hazelnut Muffins and they turned out great. Lots of helpful all-around cooking/baking tips as well as informative instructions that relate specifically to using a stand mixer, as well the quirks of the various attachments (and when/how to use them). I'm looking forward to receiving my bonus KitchenAid food grinder so I can start making my own homemmade sausage and burgers with some of the recipes in this... more info
Boring - no photos. Decent recipes.:
Basic recipes which are ok. Not a single photo makes the book boring. Definately NOT a must have.
