125 Best Food Processor Recipes

Food writer and teacher George Geary says that most people don’t use
their food processors to their full potential. He opens his latest book
with a good information section on food processors, including their
components, safety issues, and how to process potentially troublesome
ingredients such as soft cheese.

125 Best Food Processor Recipes has chapters on appetizers, salads and
dressings, soups, mains, sauces, vegetables breads, cookies, and
pastries. Each recipe has serving suggestions, tips on processing, and
variations suggesting alternative ingredients. Good colour illustrations
will have you drooling over Potatoes au Gratin, Honey Apple Spice
Muffins, and Chicken Rockefeller, among other recipes.

Recipe highlights include California Wine and Cheese Bread (with white
wine and Monterey Cheese), Mushroom-Stuffed Pork Chops, Black Bean
Chipotle Dip, and Blue Cheese Peanut Coleslaw. Most of the recipes
require only the processor bowl, making cleanup fast and easy. You
don’t really need a processor for some of the recipes. When preparing
meat loaf, for example, it would be faster and less messy to chop the
onions and red pepper on a cutting board than to cut those ingredients
into pieces before putting them into the processor and chopping them
“until chunky.”

If you love your food processor and want to use it more often, this
user-friendly book is a must-have.
