George Geary teaches cooking classes for more than 100 cooking schools every year. Judith Finlayson is a food writer, journalist and author whose cookbooks have now sold more than 750,000 copies.
Making short work of good cooking is possible if you put this
indispensable appliance to use, these veteran authors maintain, and
their book begins by explaining how to handle each food in a
25-page guide, then describes each part of the machine, and
includes tips and ideas for each recipe, including a "vegetarian
friendly" indication. If you don't own a processor, or tend to let
yours gather dust, or are thinking of investing in one, this
lively, international collection will improve your culinary life.
Include a plastic spatula for scraping the processor bowl with this

A unique cookbook that will not only save you time when preparing
meals at home, but bring fresh new ideas and excitement to
cooking!-- "Parenting Tips 365" (12/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)
Does your food processor sit on the kitchen counter collecting
dust? Or like many cooks, do you use the appliance only to slice
and dice? George Geary, a cooking instructor, teams with food
writer Judith Finlayson with this impressive array. Both authors
assert that the food processor is the most underused appliance in
the kitchen. With that in mind, the two whipped up a delicious
offering of recipes that make use of the food processor in 650 Best
Food Processor Recipes. This giant tome not only offers a tasty
menu of recipes, it also breaks down the components of the food
processor and explains how to use it effectively. Busy cooks learn
how to save time by reducing prep time. One of the best sections is
the comprehensive list of ingredients with directions for
processing each of these foods. Color photos highlight several of
the delightful gourmet recipes, ranging from appetizers to soups,
entrees to desserts, condiments to cookies. The dessert section
tempts my taste buds, especially the lemon oatmeal bars. Initially,
I chuckled at the section explaining the parts of the processor. I
consider myself a well-rounded home cook, but after reading how to
use the appliance properly, I realized I haven't used my food
processor to its full potential.--LuAnn Schindler "Sacramento Book
Review" (1/5/2011 12:00:00 AM)
I never realized the food processor could be used to create
everything from appetizers to soups to desserts. These recipes have
been developed with time saving strategies for today's busy cook.
Many of the recipes have also been designed so that the bowl does
not need to be cleaned along the way. (Who doesn't love have less
dishes to clean? I know I am happy with anything that makes my job
of cleaning easier.)-- "Thrifty Things Blogspot" (1/23/2011

I'm a food processor foodie so when this book came in for review I
grabbed it immediately. And, I'm happy to report I wasn't
disappointed. The second recipe I tested was Orange Butter Cookies.
Using the food processor made a simple recipe even more simple. The
richness of the butter and the strong accent of orange pleased the
palate. I will be making these again. Do I recommend 650 Best Food
Processor Recipes? Yes, I sure do. With that many recipes you could
have your processor going daily for two years. Perusing the
remainder of the recipes I found that there are many I will be
making in the very near future. The ingredients would be found in
most pantries and certainly in local grocery stores. This is a
winner.--Irene Watson "Reader Views" (11/10/2010 12:00:00 AM)
If there is one kitchen appliance that I do not use often enough it
is my food processor. I guess it is easier for me to chop, and dice
with my knives instead. I mostly use my food processor for mincing
or to make puree. Boy have I been missing out on a great way to
prepare foods. Here is a fabulous cookbook for more inspiration.
650 Best Food Processor Recipes by George Geary and Judith
Finlayson. George and Judith want you to bring those food
processors out of your appliance graveyard. In 650 Best Food
Processor Recipes they will show you how easy it is to put that
processor to work. You can make sensational delicious and foolproof
dishes. In Appetizers there is a scrumptious Pumpkin Cream Cheese
Spread which I plan to make for my Thanksgiving get together. How
about Roasted Garlic and Mushroom pate? I am drooling over Santa Fe
Sweet Potato Soup made with dried New Mexico chiles, sweet potatoes
and corn plus a few more choice ingredients. Yum! My guys love beef
so Beef Fajitas with Guacamole or the Southwestern Brisket would
satisfy them. There is even a recipe for Homemade Ketchup. With so
many hundreds of recipes, I have asked for a new Food Processor as
a gift. Mine is so old and I can't find some of the blades,
bummer!-- "One 2 Try" (11/15/2010 12:00:00 AM)
