Food Processors

Recently I purchased a new food processor. The one I got has three bowls and lots of horse power.  It has all bells and whistles. During my research on which one to buy, I did find some very good information.

We all know that there are a lot of gadgets out there and lot of different prices.  What I found out that was news to me is what a difference the right blade makes.  If you have one that has a "Dough Blade" use it.  I never paid much attention until I found out that the longer blades actually cut the gluten when you are kneading the dough with a processor.  If you have made pizza dough or bread in a food processor and had so so results that is most likely why. 

So as you can see no matter how long you have been cooking, you can always learn.  If you have a tip pass it on.  It will help someone.

OOPS

Sorry for the late post!  But on the up side, I did get some recipes via email which I will include in the new cook book.  Remember send me any cookie or treat recipe for the holidays and you will be included in the book.

One of the tips I found in an old cookbook from 1920 was to dip your cookie cutter in cake flour.  That seemed a little odd so I tried it. It works very well.  The cake flour is lighter and does not leave any residue on the cookie. Try it

COOKIES!!

I am creating a Holiday Edition of Cookies and Treats. Yes I know it is only September but the holidays are not far off.  If you have a special recipe that you would like to share please submit it through the comments section.  I will credit you in the cookbook. If you send three or more I will send you a free copy of the cookbook. The deadline is Sept 30 and I will have the cook book out by October 15.

So get cooking and send me your recipes!
