Summary: What a waste
Review: After getting this book, it sat on my shelf for over a year before I finally got rid of it at a cookbook swap this month.
All this book tries to do is take a bunch of unnecessary steps to be able to make practically anything in a food processor. But really, who wants to make couscous in a food processor? It's not like you can boil the thing over the stove.

Summary: Money well spent
Review: I love this book. I love just reading it. It inspires me to use my food processor. Not only are there excellent tips, but terrific recipes I would use daily. When purchasing this book, I thought it would be a flop. Another reviewer referred to the quantity of Jewish recipes. I didn't feel this was true. There are a few throughout the book and a passover section at the end. But some of these recipes look very good, I would give them a try. But the majority (and there are many) of the recipes for, cookies, cheesecake, biscuits, marinades, appetizers, all from various backgrounds, that I would use DAILY. A lot of common ingredients are used and some not-so-common (but not out this world either). I was more than happy this book and would recommend it to anyone with a food processor.

Summary: Something new made easy
Review: I recently purchased a food processor and couldn't wait to use it so I bought this book--it gives general information as to what can be processed and for how long. I have tried about 8 recipes so far and they are all excellent. My husband is thrilled every time he comes home for dinner and I have tried something new. My only complaint is being that I am not jewish, it is definitely slanted to the jewish faith, and I could do without a chapter on Passover. But other than that, love it and now can't imagine not having it.

Summary: Fabulous Cooking Resource!
Review: Norene Gilletz has done it again! She has recently published The Food Processor Bible, a new version of the old favourite. In my opinion this book is a welcome addition to everyone's
cookbook library and I would recommend you buy it in addition to The Pleasures of Your Food Processor book, not as a replacement. There are some recipes from the old book, however many are new and innovative recipes which make use of more readily available ingredients, and take into account healthier methods of cooking. Recipes are simple and wonderful and with such ease of preparation it makes you want to get back into the kitchen and cook! This book is THE comprehensive guide to food processor preparation. The information section at the front of the book is invaluable and answers any questions you may have about using a food processor. The format is easy to follow, recipes easy to read and even though it isn't spiral
bound, the book stays open in place. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Food Processor Bible
Review: Norene's latest book is a wonderful resource for using your food processor and has great recipes, useful tips and information, especially how to prep, whether your can freeze it or not, and her section on Passover. Read this book and you will be friends with your food processor. The appetizers, desserts and Passover sections are my favorites. Please try the Hot Cheese Cake (page 129) as a main dish for brunch. It'll be a hit. Also the Chocolate Matzo Bark (page 446). I've been referring to Norene's cookbooks for years. As a university student, my culinary reptertoire came mostly from her Pleasures of Your Food Processor and Second Helpings Please. This new and updated food processor book has provided me with updated information and new and useful recipes. You don't need to be a kosher household to love this book! It's vital to any cook.

Summary: Norene scores another win
Review: Owning a new cookbook by Norene Gillettz is as exciting to me, as a new computer is for my husband. I've known about the Processor Bible for several months and I was anxious to see how it was different from Norene's other books. While it is not in binder form, it stayed open when I started to read it. You don't need a magnifying glass to read the recipes. The printing is clear and well spaced. The ingredient list is printed in a different colour than the instruction part of the recipe. That's a good thing. This way you can see if you have the ingredients before you get started. To the left of the recipe, you will see how much it makes. Is it enough to feed all of us or should I double it? Yes, it says I can freeze it. Good thing. I have time today to make it and I will freeze it until I need it next week. The best part of the book, you guessed it, is the recipes. I've made about a dozen of them and I got rave reviews from my critics. Norene makes me look good in the kitchen. If you want to feel the same way, add the Processor Bible to your cookbook library.
