THE AL DENTE BLOG REVIEWS THE FOOD PROCESSOR BIBLE

The Food Processor Bible and an Easy Cheesecake

I love my Cuisinart food processors and rely on them daily to crank out family friendly food. Over the years, I’ve collected many food processor cookbooks and one of my favorites is The Food Processor Bible by Norene Gilletz. Published by Vancouver’s Whitecap Books, this book is an absolute treasure trove of food processor recipes and ideas.

Gilletz is a Toronto-based cook, author, and teacher who has more than thirty years of food processor experience under her belt.

When can we eat?”

My mother reached into the overstuffed cooler that she had packed with 40 sandwiches for our trip. She always made 40 sandwiches for any trip we took because she didn’t want anyone to be hungry!

Healthy Helpings Reviewed by Monita Olive

This cookbook by Norene Gilletz excites me so much that I don’t know where to start in sharing a review with you. If you don’t have it, get it … as fast as you can!

The cookbook covers so much that everyone is sure to find something that satisfies within the 411 pages of recipes – 800 recipes no less! Did you see that? 800 recipes are included in the easy to read, colorful to look at, several recipes with photos of several dishes in each photo. The photos are all in one place and I think I like that very much.
