Product Description
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.

 Some absolutely amazing recipes with a few flops June 20, 2010

This book is meant to help you get the most out of your Kitchenaid attachments. If you only own the flat beater and dough hook that came with the mixer, you will only be able to make 40-50% of the recipes. But if you own many of the attachments, you'll love this book. It uses the pasta maker, ice-cream maker, sausage maker, slicer/shredder, strainer, and food grinder. I own all of the attachments except the sausage maker (one chapter with 30 recipes) so I get a lot of use out of this cookbook. NOTE: THERE IS NOW AN UPDATED 2ND EDITION - I'D CHECK THAT ONE OUT IF YOU CAN!
Pros:
1. This book uniquely helps you to get the most out of your Kitchenaid attachments. If you find yourself with lots of Kitchenaid attachments that are collecting dust, fear no more! This book will show you the way. And as you get more comfortable with your attachments as a result of this book, you will no doubt pull them out for recipes from other books too!
2. Some of the recipes are really good. Like really really really really REALLY good! Great appetizers included the Mediterranean Tart with Goat Cheese and Roasted Vegetables (absolutely delicious) and the Spinach and Garlic Dip (fantastic and chunky). Cream of Cauliflower Soup; Hearty Harvest Roasted Vegetable Soup; Minestrone; and Zucchini, Cheese & Sausage Soup were all really really good soups. Amazing dinners and side dishes I will definitely make again included Linguine with Roasted Asparagus and Cream Sauce, Summer Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil, Scalloped Potatoes with Carmelized Onions, and Mushrooms and Wild Rice. I've made the Basic Egg Pasta a zillion times, and the Lemon Black Pepper Pasta is great. Breads are always awesome; the Farmhouse White Bread, Herb Bread, French Baguettes, Rosemary Focaccia with Tomatoes and Fresh Mozzarella, Monkey Bread, Irish Soda Bread, Onion Rolls, Cloverleaf Rolls, Buttermilk Biscuits, Cheddar Cheese Biscuits, Lemon-Thyme Biscuits, Lemon Blueberry Muffins (won a taste test among 3 cookbooks in our house ;), and Apple Streusel Coffee Cake were all amazingly delicious!!!
Desserts are also great in this book. Earning an mmmmmmm award: Soft Sugar Cookies, Crispy Oatmeal Cookies, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, Banana Cream Pie with Italian Meringue, and French Vanilla Ice-Cream. So was the Cinnamon Applesauce :)
Cons:
1. Some of the recipes are not so good. The Fried Zucchini was just a hot mess gone wrong. Chilled Minted Melon Soup - Gross. The Split Pea soup is grainy and not very good. Lower-Fat Oatmeal Scones with Currants and Walnuts - not so good - and why would you make a low fat scone, come to think of it? Somehow the ultimate chocolate chip cookie was just decent instead of ultimate. Cheesecake Blueberry White Chocolate Ice Cream was a flop - why would you want frozen blueberries in your ice-cream? And then there were the dull, monotonous, "okay" recipes: Swedish Meatballs, Sugar-and-Spice cake, Potato and Leek Soup.
2. There are quite a few pate recipes in the book. Well, okay, there are only four. But I haven't even seen a pate in my lifetime. I'm 31. For some people, this is a plus. For me, it's just kind of weird.
So, if you're willing to take the lows with the highs, and you own most of the KitchenAid attachments and want to get some good use out of them, I highly recommend this cookbook. I turn to it all the time.
 Best mixer book I found June 9, 2010

I just received my KichenAid Mixer. So not knowing what to to do with it I bought this book. This book doesn't have a lot of pictures, but I don't think it needs them. It covers a wide range of recipes and even tells at the beginning of the recipe which attachments are going to be needed. I think it makes a great companion to the mixer.
Tried a few recipes March 22, 2010

I've tried only a few of these recipes as I've only had it a couple of weeks but those tried were very good. Hope to get to some others soon, maybe then it would be a 5 star review.

I received my book quickly & perfect, no damage! Excellent book to introduce you to your mixer. Many delicious recipes & ways to use your mixer. I always had used my mixer for basic mixing, yet with this book I've ventured out to new things. I own the shredder attachment & this book had new uses for that attachment too.
I would suggest this book as a gift or part of a gift pkg,(mixer or attachment & this book), to get a new mixer/attachment owner started. I use it quite often/weekly = good purchase!
 Good variety February 23, 2010

I expected the book to be about baking, but it contains all kinds of foods and recipes to try the attachments with. Not what I expected, but a good general cook book. I don't think I needed it since I don't have attachments and I already have lots of cook books.
