America’s Test Kitchen unleashes the potential of what a food processor can do with an eye-opening collection of 75 kitchen-tested recipes to make your cooking easier, faster, and better.
Your food processor is a powerful tool but is often relegated to only a handful of tasks. We have always felt the food processor was underutilized and so we’ve set out to create a book that harnesses this appliance’s capabilities as never before, from almost-no-bowl baking to multi-step dishes like stir-fries where all the slicing and chopping happens in the food processor. The result is a book of 75 smart ideas where the food processor is the star of every recipe. It will transform how you use this appliance, streamline everyday cooking and baking, and open doors to projects you would never have considered tackling by hand.

Cusinart
We purchased a Cuisinart 14 cup processor a while ago and didn’t seem to get much use from it. We wanted beautiful slices and the visions of mixed cakes and breads that danced across the tv screen to fill our home. Not so much. Then my husband saw an episode of Americas Test Kitchen and we thought why not? Thanksgiving was a week away. So instead of store bought yeast rolls and pie crusts we washed up our food processor and cracked open this book.The recipes were easy to follow, and actually worked. The book has great illustrations and explains how to get the most out of your food processor. Until this book we didn’t do more than grate large amounts of cheese because that seemed to be the only thing the processor could do consistently. It shows that it doesn’t require some unknown hack to get full use of your appliance. I wish there was a book like this included with the cuisinart because the one included does not give the insight, particularly if it is your first.I am so happy I am looking for more books to get the most from a kitchen product that we had sent to the useless cabinet.

Have a food processor gathering dust?
Gathering dust from lack of use? Or just looking for some more ideas to use with your processor? This book will remedy both issues!I consider myself a very experienced home cook, and my food processor is an invaluable tool in my kitchen. I jumped for joy when I got it! Even now, I still use it a couple times each week, grating huge blocks of cheese in an instant, mixing up pizza dough, making pesto and blending marinades. This book has me excited about my processor all over again, to try these new recipes! Mushroom Bolognese, Vegetable Pot Pie, and Scalloped Potatoes are all similar to things I’ve made before, so I’m also excited to try some old things in a different easier way.As they often do, included in this are testing results of different machines.Positives:Learning that I actually don’t need the dough blade for dough that I’ve been consideringDifferent techniques and tricks for minimizing clean-up (plastic wrap over the bowl)The tips throughout – some I already knew, some were “a-ha!” moments (processing water with a few drops of soap to clean the bowl? Why didn’t I think of this)The recipes! Having tried what seems like a gazillion Test Kitchen recipes and never once having a failure (knock on wood…)…I’m quite confident that my family will looooove the shrimp burgers and even the meatless Black Bean burgers. Bacon Jam? Yes please. Also Celery Root and Potato Roesti sounds divine.It basically expounds on a lot of simple techniques, with some fresh approaches thrown in.The negatives:Some of the processor techniques will be review for any cook who’s spent quality time with their processor. I don’t really think that’s a huge thing…most good cookbooks like to cover the basics like this. Also, if this is your first food processor, this basic info is great!Another small issue I have is that I love a detailed Table of Contents – for a month down the road when I remember a recipe I suddenly want to make, and cannot quite remember where I saw it. It’s separated into sections, and the section intro pages each have the recipe list there. A small issue…and one I bump into pretty often. Guess I need to change my expectations in cookbooks. That, or improve my memory…not likely!I have the Cuisinart 14 that they used for all the recipes. It’s their top rated machine.

Lack Luster Content
Nothing much new in this book. Having used a food processor for years, most of the recipes and tips were ho hum. Most recipes do not stand out as something that I want to try. Also, as one reviewer pointed out, many of the recipes are found in other America’s Test Kitchen cookbooks. This would be a great introductory book to include with a food processor gift for a new bride. My food processor (the Cuisinart 14 cup) is a work horse in my kitchen; this book would be good for the kitchen where it is underused. Would be a good reference book if you are on the fence about which food processor to purchase. The book itself is very attractive, with beautiful pictures for all recipes. However, I found the small font and light print on the shiny white pages difficult to read when placed in a cookbook stand. Also, it does not stand open on its own. Missing an inclusive Table of Contents, this book is not very user friendly. This small cookbook (75 recipes) is not on par with my other America’s Test Kitchen cookbooks, but that is, of course, reflected in the lower price. This cookbook would be a good food processor primer. I’ll most likely pass it along to someone who is new in the kitchen.

Great booked to learn how to use your processor
Love the book bought one from my niece when I bought her a new food processor. Now she can learn about the food processor and also about new cooking techniques. How to become more efficient and less your time.

I needed to buy this book because I recently bought myself a food processor for the very first time. It’s very handy because it’s got really detailed instructions such as what uses it does that goes way beyond just chopping, slicing and shredding & the do’s and don’ts of the food processor and cleaning hacks as well as how to buy a food processor. It’s got really good recipes and I even found out how to adapt recipes using a food processor in one section of the book. I really recommend this to anyone who buys a food processor because it has really valuable information.

It is written fir the US. I knew that. Having bought US measures on holiday. The recipes are brilliant and the information on the food processor has been really useful.

One of my favourite books; I’ve made many of the recipes – ice cream, bread, hummus, a variety of sauces, gravies, homemade mayo and more. Definitely worth the money.
