From Publishers Weekly
Anderson (The American Century Cookbook; The New Doubleday Cookbook), following Dinners in a Dish or a Dash, once again delivers a comprehensive volume covering her chosen subject. She is straightforward as she explains the preparation involved, which tool to use and the technique to achieve the best results, and she has no qualms when advising not to shred or grind raw chicken or to not process-chop okra because it turns to mucilage. The recipes that follow begin with the cornerstones of cooking stocks, sauces, salsas and toppings and include both traditional and international influences, from Penne with Midsummer Tomato Sauce, easy homespun Apple-Oatmeal-Walnut Crumble or Flavors of Asia Shitake Crusted Chicken to the Down South Marinated Slaw with its refreshing sweet-sour overtones or the usual piquant Egg Salad, ideal for lunches and picnics. Each recipe has been carefully worked to make maximum use of the processor where appropriate, saving the cook time and effort.

Customer Reviews

Not so happy
I was looking for a book that would give me some great recipes to use with my new food processor. I was not happy with this one. There aren't a whole lot of recipes and a lot of the ingredients are not very common in our household. I usually have capers, anchovy paste, greek olive etc. So I am not talking ketchup and mustard here. I am talking about tahini, lemon grass, and indian relish (what is that, and where do you get it?) I enjoy cooking for my family, but I am more apt to use recipes with ingredients I will use for other recipes. In addition, a lot of the recipes are very complex, which is okay, but cooking doesn't have to be complex to be either gourmet, or tastey. There are a couple of recipes I will try: Mushroom caviar, Oh-my-God Cheesecake and Stuffed Artichokes. Other recipes I will probably never do are: Sweet Potato Soup w/ coconut milk, lemongrass & cilantro, Terrine of Pork & Ham w/ Calvados & Juniper Berries, Leek & Sweet Red Pepper flan, Chicken Liver & Red Onion Jam. I also ordered The Food Processor Bible. There are many more recipes that aren't so elaborate and more for daily use.

Fast and Fabulous
Every recipe I tried was easy to do and resulted in compliments to the chef. Though I love the praise, the honors should go to the author of Process This. Recipes are easy to follow, contain helpful hints and result in meals that please the palate and wake up the tastebuds. As a working woman, one of my biggest challenges is to prepare meals that are more than just something to eat.

I made three of the recipes immediately after buying the book: Two-Pepper Parmesan Wafers, Jansson's Temptation, and Sweet and Mild Red Pepper Salad with Tomatoes; all three were easy to make and went perfectly with the main course I selected. I took the leftover potatoes (Jansson's Temptation) to work and my co-workers feasted so happily I couldn't get a bite myself.

This cookbook has opened up a new world of fun in the kitchen and delightful dining. My food processor can thank Jean Anderson for its move from the back of the cabinet to a place of honor on my kitchen counter.

Not For Everyone
This book is good in offering techniques for using a food processor. However, if you are interested in healthier recipes this isn't the best book. I have already donated my copy to a second hand store... as the recipes are higher in calories than we want to eat.
