Ultimate Mixer Cookbook

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.
