Product Description
It's a gorgeous streamlined appliance, displayed as a bona fide American icon by the Smithsonian Institution. But the KitchenAid mixer, created in 1919, is more than just a domestic design classic. It's also a tabletop workhorse that easily mixes, creams, blends, kneads, and whisks to perfection, successfully accomplishing many time- and labor-intensive culinary tasks that are the foundation of good home cooking. The Ultimate Mixer Cookbook provides a thorough introduction to the appliance, its features, and specialized attachments, plus "blueprints" for whipping up piecrust, bread dough, and other basics. Dozens of recipes are presented for light lunches, supper dishes, mid-week meals, effortless desserts, and streamlined dishes for entertaining, as well as scrumptious baked goods -- from butterscotch drizzle cake to garlic and sage focaccia.

 A bit much... September 14, 2005

These are recipes that I would never use on a day by day basis, the ingredients are not ones that I usually stock in my home so this book was of little help to me to get more use out of my mixer. I returned it!

Yes, this book is beautifully photographed.
But the recipes reflect cooking styles of the 1950s and before, well proven but unoriginal in general, and almost certain to lead to medical ills.
The book panders to the manufacturer, often putting that name in bold, like a cheap advertisement, and then repeating the bold often every few paragraphs. Annoying.
Mostly, I was hoping for insights on how to use a KitchenAid to make a difference from the now normal food processor or blender. The book contains almost nothing for understanding how to leverage the special powers of a stand mixer.
Save your money, go on line if you want conventional recipes, or buy the equivalent for a quarter at a flea market.
For insight on the mixer, try "Mix It Up! Great Recipes to Make the Most of Your Stand Mixer" by Jamee Ruth, a really good book.
I feel cheated by Rosemary Moon, and think she should be ashamed of herself for authoring so superficial a book that panders to the vendor and does not serve the reader well.
This book should carry a health warning label -it could be quite unhealthy with its emphasis on heavy fats and carbo bombs.
NOT THE REAL DEAL April 26, 2003

This book seems to have been thrown together in haste hoping to jump on the coat tails of Jamee Ruth's MIX IT UP! A few recipes are good but if you want the "manual" for the stand mixer get Jamee's book. She is the expert, her recipes are written to teach you how to use the mixer and the attachements. If you can't find the attachements you want go to the KitchenAid web site, of course Jamee's book is available thereas well. Also, get her Grill Pan Cookbook here on Amazon!
Not a worthwhile title March 30, 2003

I like all books that teach me how to better use my appliances and this was the most disappointing-in fact I tossed it. This book almost tries to copy the fantastic title Mix It Up! by Jamee Ruth but fails in the worst way. Mix It Up! is the real book on the standmixer and I encourage everyone to get that one instead, of course it is available on the worlds little online book store Amazon.
 Very worthwhile March 14, 2003

One of the problems with big, expensive appliances is that many of us underutilize them. This book will show you all the mixer can do. I now think of my Kitchenaid as a heavy duty large food processor. Also, if you are giving a Kitchenaid as a gift, include a copy of this in the box.
