Mix it Up

The stand mixer is probably the single most useful appliance in the kitchen, the unsung hero of time-saving devices. In Mix It Up!, Jamee Ruth tackles each of the attachments--11 in all--covering how to use it, care for it, and make the most of it for quick and easy food preparation. From the dough hook and wire whisk to the grain mill and pasta roller, each attachment comes with a specific set of simple, irresistible recipes: 90 in all, from appetizers to desserts. The fruit and vegetable strainer, for example, gives Acorn Squash and Saffron Soup its creamy texture. The food grinder and roto slicer are perfect for a family picnic of Homemade Hotdogs with Colorful Coleslaw. An ideal companion to a new mixer and a great way to jumpstart a long-term mixer-cook relationship, Mix It Up! is the ultimate accessory for making the most of the mighty stand mixer.
