Sweet
Potato Shepherd’s Pie is so incredibly outstanding!
We couldn’t get enough of it! I had to take the bowl off of the table
and into the freezer or my daughter and I would have finished two pounds of
ground turkey and four sweet potatoes. Many thanks once again for your recipes
that are so tasty, healthy and easy to prepare.

Review
from the Al Dente Blog
Much
ado about nothings (Boston Globe)
You
don't have to be Jewish to discover the joy, not the "oy," of
processing! Whether you are a new reader or an old fan, you'll love this completely updated,
revised, expanded edition of my best-selling cookbook,
The
Pleasures of your Food Processor
which
is now out of print.
With a new
generation of cooks and a new generation of food processors, I felt that it
was time to completely revise, update and expand my food processor cookbook.
The result was the creation of a new book with a new look and a new name - The
Food Processor Bible.
I've kept your favorite recipes and added over 100 new ones, with many
lighter, healthier variations that reflect the way we cook and eat today. In
response to your requests, I've added many dairy-free and vegetarian
alternatives, and used many ingredients that were not popular or readily
available 20 years ago.
My goal was to make cooking easier and faster for today's busy families.
I've added many time-saving tips, tricks and processing techniques,
substitutions, freezing, reheating and microwave hints, plus information on
food safety. There is a new Smart Chart, which is an expanded alphabetical
guide to help you process foods from A to Z in a flash.
Since everyone loves sweets (including me) there are lots of luscious
desserts that are perfect for special celebrations - or every day. The yeast
breads section has also been expanded and simplified.
Because of my culinary background, I've included many traditional Jewish
dishes for today's Kosher (or not) cook. However, you don't have to be
Jewish to enjoy them! You'll also find a variety of ethnic recipes from the
cuisines of the world that provide an international flavour.
In addition to a separate Passover chapter, there is a comprehensive
Passover index within the main index. Recipes that are suitable for Passover
or that have a Passover variation are marked with an asterisk in the index.
Whether you have an old processor or a new model, a large one or a small one
(or even if you don't have a processor!) you will still be able to make the
recipes in this book.

If
you don't have a food processor, or you want to upgrade,
Cuisinart has brought out a 1000-watt food processor with
14-cup work bowl and nesting 4-1/2- and 11-cup work bowls.

I know you loved the binder format with tabs used for
The
Pleasures of your Food Processor
but it has unfortunately become
too expensive to continue using this binding. Thanks to new technology, The
Food Processor Bible
has a user-friendly "layflat"
binding with colored tabs printed at the edge of each page to help you find
the desired recipe quickly.
With the help of your food processor, it's a snap to prepare food fast -
instead of fast food - right in your own kitchen. Discover the joy - not the
oy - of processing!

Food Processor Bible by
