650 Best Food Processor Recipes Paperback – July 27, 2010

When my 40 year old food processor finally decided to die, I purchased a spiffy new processor and decided to replace my 40 year old food processor cookbooks with a spiffy new all-inclusive cookbook too! So out with the old, in with the new! I've had this book for a little over a week and already tried a number of the recipes. The other day I used the Fast and Easy Pizza Dough recipe to come up with a deep dish gluten free pizza. I used our ramekins and pressed the dough into those, then partially baked the dough until it was just starting to turn brown. Then I added my toppings, put the ramekins back in the oven and finished baking. If you know anything about gluten free dough you know it's hard to work with and you don't always get great results, but using gluten free flour, the recipe in this book gave me a delicious crust that was crispy on the outside, yet soft inside. Yesterday I tried the Potato Leek Cheese Soup and it was amazing! Last week my husband tried the Macadamia-Crusted Salmon and we really enjoyed it! With 650 fabulous recipes and being forced to pretty much stay home and come up with exciting meals during the current pandemic, we expect to be happily busy for quite a while! Don't worry that there aren't a lot of fancy color photos in this book. Wouldn't you rather spend your money on a lot of great recipes than pretty pictures? We would! Oh by the way, I also found that the "Tips" included in some of the recipes were very helpful!

I am new to my food real processor having chopped and grated up to now. I decided to move to a more plant based diet and bought this book to learn more about processing veggies. I got more than I bargained for.After they discuss the basics of buying a processor and explaining the parts they give an Almond to Zucchini ingredient guide discussing many veggies, fruits or cheeses and how to chop, slice, shred and puree them, as applicable (no, you don't puree cheese or candy!) This part alone was worth the price for me as a new food processor user.There are 12 Chapters: Appetizers; Soups; Poultry; Meats; Fish and Seafood; Meatless Mains, Sides and Salads; Sauces, Dressings, Condiments, Rubs and Seasoned Butters; Sundries; Yeast Breads, Quick Breads, Muffins and Scones; Cookies, Bars, Squares and Brownies; and Deserts ad\nd Dessert Toppings. The Sundries chapter includes pasta, stuffings, doughs and nut butters.Of particular interest and use for me is the Sauce chapter. As I add more "plants" to my diet, I was fearful of eating bland foods, Fear Not! There are literally 101 recipes involving ways to "flavor up" not only veggies and salads but also burgers, ribs, steaks and roasts.In summary I feel this book is a must for food processor beginners as I am but cannot fail to give experienced user users ideas and recipes to expand their repertoire.

It would have been helpful if I had put the blade into my food processor before I started adding cans of beans. I learn from my mistakes. However in the end the Basil and White Bean Spread/Dip was actually pretty good. The recipe calls for two cups of cooked white beans but you'll probably buy two cans. So I used two cans and only used 1/4 cup chopped regular parsley. I doubled the pesto sauce and didn't use any salt since the beans were already salted. What I did notice is that if you use some beans that have sugar in them this dip will be a little sweet. However making it in a food processor is such a dream. So I can recommend this book for this one recipe alone. If you find one recipe in a book I think it is worth the price. Especially a recipe you will make again and again. I served this spread/dip with tortilla chips. It would also be good on toasted slices of French bread. Happy Eating.~The Rebecca Review

But not a lot recipes you may want to actually eat. I find my family can fall into a rut of eating the same menu over and over so I thought this would help change things up. But most of the recipes are the same with slight twists. Like 10 types of hummus. At the end of the day it’s still the same basic dip, appetizer or dessert. While it is great to have the different sections, once you look through the index you begin to realize that there really is not much difference. This book would be great for those with certain staples always on hand like chick peas. However I cannot see anyone convincing their children that salmon lasagna is a fun night meal. Many of the entrees are heavy or rich and simply are not geared toward quick easy meals. This book will show you that your pricey food processor can do quite a lot. Yet an infomercial does the same and I think most of us know our results aren’t going to come close. This book is fine for a dinner party, but not so much for Tuesday night long day quick meals.

I just got my food processor and was looking for a recipe book. This is it all! Hints and so many recipes! Very happy with my purchase!

I just received my Book of "650 Best Food Processor Recipes" and I couldn't be happier. After reading reviews online about the lack of Photographs I was a bit concerned about my choice but now that I am actually reviewing this book, all i can say is that it is so well organized and the recipes are so easy to follow that I can't wait to get started making one of the many tempting choices I have found. There are several full color photos but mostly you will not need them. Everything is so clearly laid out and well planned. I am looking forward to utilizing this great resource for many years to come.

This is an excellent resources for utilizing your food processor the maximum capacity. Typically you have 3 blades and a chopper with the food processor. The blades are for different levels of shreading and the chopper chops up nuts, onions etc. This book gives detailed receipes with the ingredient list and directions on how to make fantastic receipes in short order. GREAT BUY! * I purchased the book from Amazon.com* This was not a paid review, nor did I receive the product free for my review.
