650 Best Food Processor Recipes

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.

650 Best Food Processor Recipes: Got a larger food processor in December, 2016, and am still trying to use it more. 650 recipes is a bit overwhelming, but each one uses the food processor efficiently and without exotic ingredients. Nice selection of recipes and a section on how to prep veggies, fruits, nuts, etc., in a food processor, including which foods not to process. Hopefully, just what I needed to get more variety in my menus and make the process of cooking easier. I found I could prepare parts of the recipes separately and then put them together to serve as single portions. I made cheesy cauliflower puree and almond crusted fish that way. The almond crusted fish really is an almond topping on fish, but is very tasty. I also made cabbage borscht for eight. My freezer now holds about 11 cups of borscht, waiting for the next time I want to serve it. Next time, I'll make half of the recipe. Only had to wash the food processor once each recipe.

These recipes are not for the everyday meal for someone who works a full time job. There are a lot of homemade / gourmet recipes that look like they would be appetizing, but I don’t have the time to make these things! I am disappointed that the book is lacking basic dinner recipes. I expected to have a recipe for basic meals, such as Alfredo, Marsala and Scampi. Instead, the book is full of exotic and gourmet meals, requiring time and odd ingredients, both of which I do not have. Out of all the recipes, I would have made 4-5 things. It is easier for me to find the individual recipes online and I could have saved myself the money from buying this book. I will still have to go online for the Alfredo, Marsala and Scampi recipes because this book does not offer them. The majority of recipes have no pictures either, they are just letters on a page - blah. I am a visual person and pictures with a recipe help to make it appetizing. I don't want to read a recipe to try it, I want to see a finished product to try it and like it. I paid the return postage and mailed the book back for a refund. Amazon's return process was quick and painless - thank you!

Great book, great recipes.

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.

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!

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

A little disappointed, probably more my fault than the book. It is American which I should have expected I suppose. The machines used a different to the Kenwood I have and a lot of the Ingres are unavailable.

Excellent instructions…I love that recipes recommend the number of pulses. This is a great feature for a novice.

Have read briefly through the book and I believe there are some very good recipes. Can't wait to try some.

The book came well packed and delivery was also done as per instruction.

Very American but lots of recipes I could probably adapt. Overall I'm pleased with item.
