Cookbook Review: The Mixer Bible

Updated on October 6, 2008
 

Stand mixers are a fixture in many well appointed kitchens. If you have a stand mixer and wish that you had an opportunity to utilize it more frequently, The Mixer Bible by Meredith Deeds and Carla Snyder just might be the perfect addition to your collection of cookbooks. This book is designed for home cooks who want to make the most of their stand mixers, including mastering the use of the many interesting attachments that are available for today's mixers.

Using your stand mixer in everyday cooking is a great way to save time while creating wonderful meals perfect for both family dinners and extravagant entertaining functions. If you've long subscribed to the misconception that stand mixers are only for making cakes, brownies, and other baked goods, a quick glance at The Mixer Bible will certainly shake off that notion. This book is jam packed with more than 300 widely varied recipes created with stand mixers.

While there are, of course, many outstanding recipes for baked goods in the book, you'll be pleasantly surprised to see how well suited the stand mixer is for playing an important role in preparing main courses, side dishes, appetizers, and much more. You'll even have an opportunity to learn how to create homemade pasta and whip up fresh bread dough quickly and easily.
