Good book overall on ideas for using attachments to your stand mixer. Nice layout, nice photography. However, if I were to choose only one book on recipes for stand mixers, I'd get "The Essential Mixer Cookbook" (which I did) instead.

I had hoped for more from this cookbook, and I was let down. I had hoped for more mixer recipes, but what I got was a few attachment recipes. It would take more time to switch all of the attachments they want to make these recipes.

I got this book about a week ago and have yet found a recipe that I would "Star" to make again. The dessert section is very small. I wish I didn't buy it.

Every recipe in this book is very well written and easy to follow. I recommend this to everyone who has a standmixer. I never believed I could do things like make sausage or fresh pasta. And the Freshly Shaved Coconut Cream Pie is one of the best desserts I have ever had! The author is THE expert on this machine. The best cookbook I have bought in a long time.

I can make my own pasta! I can puree vegetables for soups! I can grind the fresh meat for my cheeseburgers or meat balls!
This book is a tool on the same level as all the options KithenAid offers. A must have. Try the Sesame Seed Noodles or Freshly Shaven Coconut Cream Pie.......OH MY !!! And the Knockout Gnocchi, yummmy

I love this book! When I recieved the book I got the food grinder, pasta maker and sausage stuffer. I can make pasta and sausage now!!! I never thought I would be able to do this. My goal now is to learn how to use all the attachements thanks to Jamee Ruth. I just ordered her Grill Pan Cookbook. I have one and now I am looking forward to learning how to use it.
Thanks for Mix It Up Jamee Ruth I am looking forward to learning all 11 attachements-you made it possible-what's next?? Write more!! We want to learn.

This is just a supplemental book for the Kitchen Aid mixer line. I agree with another reviewer, you'd spend as much time assembling and then cleaning the attachments as if you'd done it conventionally. Reminds me of all the food processor cookbooks that came out twenty-something years ago, finding excuses to use the machine even when not called for. I guess that maybe if people got a K'Aid and wanted to play with their new toy and its attachments that this would make sense. Many of the recipes sound a little too twee for me anyway. The meatloaf looks repulsive, is really more a meat-and-vegetable pate than a true meat loaf--and expensive to make! Desserts, pastries, breads, the real strong points of a good stand mixer, are shortchanged in this book. I use Bosch and Electrolux mixers rather than K'Aid (not strong enough) and found little to use in my machines. Avoid unless you can get it cheap--

I Love it! It has wonderful recipes as well as decribes the attachments for my stand mixer. In each recipe an illunstration of each of the attachments used per recipe. It's a wonderful addition to my stand mixer library.

this book has a killer oatmeal cookie recipe that i make on a weekly basis.

Kitchen Aid again. You will not be disappointed. 4 years
Not to much stuff but it's important to know if you are new to Kitchen Aid.
