The Essential Panini Press Cookbook: 100 Creative & Classic Recipes by Sean Curry – A Book Review

The Essential Panini Press Cookbook: 100 Creative and Classic Recipes 


The author right up front gives the reader important information on stacking your panini, beginning with the bread. I was surprised then to find that there are quite a few recipes included that while made on a panini press that are not paninis and do not involve bread, such as watermelon steaks, swordfish skewers, bunless bacon burger, and a grilled fruit platter. The final chapter includes recipes for salads, spreads, slaws, and sauces to complement the panini grilled foods. While this book would have to be used carefully by those watching their carbs or needing a gluten free diet, I assume anyone picking up a panini press cookbook would be aware of that. No nutritional or health information are included with the recipes in this book. There are a variety of recipes from sweet to savory. The key to all are the blends of both flavors and textures. The subtitle is accurate in that the recipes range from classic to trendy and creative pairings of ingredients. There are healthy recipes to be found here as well as more indulgent ones. Enjoy!

I am grateful to have received a copy of this book from RockRidge Press in exchanged for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.
