The blender is now recognised as a kitchen essential – without which thousands of 21st century cooks swear they would be lost! This handy little gadget can be used for chopping, puréeing, mincing, shredding, pulping, liquefying and crushing, as well as producing a huge variety of meals, snacks and drinks which the whole family will enjoy. The Blender Book aims to fill the gap in the market for a low-price book on this popular subject, and is ideal for those whose blender is still languishing unused at the back of the cupboard – or who simply are not using it to its full potential.
For those who have never used a blender before, there is advice on the different types and features available, as well as how to put them to best use. There are over 100 recipes given for bastes, pastes and marinades; spreads, pâtés and dips; dressings and savoury sauces; soups; sweet and savoury tarts; desserts; shakes, smoothies and cocktails. Each recipe benefits from the use of a blender to achieve a specific result – to save time or to make laborious jobs effortless and difficult jobs easy.
