Summary: GREAT
Review: Someone just gave me a copy of PROCESS THIS! and to be honest, I didn't think it was a book I'd use. Then I saw the author show how to make a killer fat-free ice cream at a local bookstore and was blown away. I've now made at least a dozen recipes from the book and they have all been terrific. And EASY. One night I served the Sweet Potato Soup with Coconut Milk, Lemongrass, and Cilantro, and man, was it a hit. I also love the Toasted Hazelnut Tart, Jansson's Temptation, Swiss Steak and Lemon Poppy Seed Cupcakes.
I never knew I could make cake in a food processor and I certainly never knew I could make ice cream in it in a couple of minutes. Amazing! Now that I know how many things I can make in my food processor, I'm going to keep it out on the counter. There are a lot of other recipes in the book that sound really good and I'm going to try them soon

Summary: Return of the Food Processor
Review: That remarkable tool that revolutionized cooking a number of years ago has been brought back in style by the soundest of America's cookbook writers, Jean Anderson (not related). The new processors stand like Oscars on the kitchen counter--and they do represent awards for the ease and versatility of performance combined with this windfall of wonderful recipes. The book is brilliantly conceived and wonderfully written (Anderson is also the best writer in the field), but don't let the publisher's poor design and "pushy" cover throw you. "Process This" is a winner.

Summary: Simple to Sophisticated
Review: The food processor is back...and Jean Anderson's cookbook tells us why and how. Jean's recipes range from simple to sophisticated and maximize the value and utility of the new-again appliance. In addition to appetizers, entrees, side dishes and desserts, Process This! can help cooks make staples like bread, (low fat) ice cream, cookies...and even homemade mayo (sans additives).I have tried several of the recipes, all with great success...and all put together in one place...my new food processor. Jean Anderson knows what it takes to put together menu items that are nutritious, taste good, look good, don't take forever to make and don't cost a fortune. I highly recommend Process This! and the new generation of food processors; don't buy one without the other.

Summary: Long Overdue Timesaver
Review: This book is long overdue! Time is a precious commodity in our house and Process This! is the answer to my prayers. I never realised I had such a versatile piece of equipment in my kitchen until I bought Jean Anderson's book. And, suprise, it really lives up to the jacket promises. Of course, I knew my processor could dice, slice and chop but could it make good pastry, mayonnaise, savory snacks, soups, cakes and cookies? Well, I'm sold. Process This! tells you exactly how to get perfect results and save time. I've tried several recipes so far and served them to rave reviews...Four Onion Tart with Smoky Bacon, Beef and Vegetable Loaf, Vichysoisse (we like it hot, also), Date Muffins and Carrot Cake. But to me the most amazing results were from the Lemon-Poppy Seed Cupcakes, Cheddar Scones and Angel Biscuits recipes. You know we're rather fussy about some things in the South but these family favories took the prize ...they're fast and fabulous! Process This! is already on my Christmas list ...its sure to be a winner.

Summary: I use this book every night!
Review: When my twenty-year old food processor stopped working last year I filled its space in the cupboard and thought I would just not get another one. Then I was shopping for a present and noticed a crowd watching Jean Anderson, author of Process This!, making an amazingly-quick Soft Raspberry-Lime "Ice Cream" and Lemon Poppy-Seed Cupcakes. Now I not only have a copy of her book, but a brand new food processor and thanks to Process This!, the food processor isn't going into that cupboard. In addition to making several whole meals from this book, I made a birthday cake using the Lemon Poppy-Seed Cupcake batter, my family just loved the Cheddar Scones, and the Processor Pastry for Tarts and Pies is so easy to make, it is habit forming. I just ordered two copies for my children who each got food processors for wedding presents and are always looking for fast, good-for-you recipes to make when they get home from work.
