A new generation of cooks is discovering the stand mixers that were a fixture in their grandmothers' kitchens, but they may be intimidated by all those attachments. The Essential Mixer Cookbook is here to show how to use them to prepare soups, appetizers, main dishes, and an array of baked goods -- cookies, pastries, breads, and cakes -- with far less effort than you would expect. There are over 150 recipes for dishes such as Hummus and Pita, Italian Foccaccia, and Strawberry and Passionfruit Pavlova. This book will have you mastering your mixer -- and all of its attachments from the flat beater, wire whip, and dough hook to the food grinder, pasta maker, and citrus juicer -- in no time at all.
